Amazon River Dolphin: Felted Alpaca Sculpture (AKA Pink Dolphin)

Discover the magic of the Amazon's most enchanting resident! These stunning pink river dolphins start their lives in gray and gradually transform into their signature rosy hue as they mature. As the largest freshwater dolphins on Earth, they're also among the most vulnerable, facing threats from habitat loss and fishing pressures across South America. We're passionate about partnering with conservation organizations dedicated to protecting these remarkable creatures and their ecosystems. Through our thoughtfully designed decor pieces, we celebrate their beauty while raising awareness about their plight. Every item is handcrafted by hand.

What makes this special:

• Realistic details - authentic features and character carefully needle felted

• Premium alpaca fiber - softer and more artistic than traditional wool felting

• Dual display options - includes hanging loop or stands beautifully on any surface

• Handcrafted artistry - each piece individually created with attention to detail

• Perfect size - stands a few inches tall, ideal for shelves, desks, or collections

Each sculpture is lovingly created by skilled artisans in Arequipa, Peru, with faces sewn and detailed by hand. Due to the handcrafting process, every piece is unique with slight natural variations - making yours truly one-of-a-kind.

A bit of our felting history:

Lanart pioneered alpaca needle felting in Peru nearly 20 years ago, training a team of artisans in a craft that had traditionally only been practiced with wool. Today, every piece is still authentically handmade by those same skilled artisans—bringing originality, heritage, and genuine alpaca fiber to every little felted critter.
