A look at a piece that sold before I ever posted pictures. The first slide is the finished piece but I also included a look at the piece prior to wet felting and also my inspiration photo. Happy Halloween! #wetfeltingwool #fiberart #emeraldhilltextiles #fallvibes
This one was such a fun learning experience! Thanks to for selecting me as their local artist for the 2024 Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in Indy and to for coming through with the lavender locks I needed to carry out my vision! #fiberart #needlefelting #emeraldhilltextiles #wetfelting #livingfelt
What in the actual world?!?!!! I am still in complete shock to have received one of the three runner up awards at today’s Penrod Art Fair. Absolutely honored! What a fantastic, magical, amazing day. Please don’t pinch me! #penrodartsfair #wetfelting #needlefelting #fiberart #indianaartist
I feel like this little nest and I spent about a week fighting each other. 😂 What I envisioned and what I made are pretty different but I eventually had to surrender and let it be what it wanted. It’s wild how art can be so defiant! #fiberart #wool #needlefelting #wetfelting #nest
I can’t believe the opening reception for Felted Forests: Rock Walls, Waterfalls and Woodland Wonders is only two weeks away! It is hard to express in words how much this show means to me and I would love, love, love to see as many folks as possible on the evening of June 14th, 2024 from 6-7 pm at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, IN! ❤️❤️❤️ #feltedart #fiberart #artmuseumofgreaterlafayette #emeraldhilltextiles #wetfelting
So happy to have this piece done! I’ve titled it “Overflowing” and it measures 20” x 40”. It will be part of my solo exhibit at The Art Museum of Greater Lafayette opening June 14th. #fiberart #needlefelting #wetfeltingwool #textileart #waterfall
At that point in the felting process where I’m excited to see the scene starting to come together but also a little overwhelmed by all the work that still needs done. It feels like it could be a good time to take a break and try to complete a small project just to have the satisfaction of finishing a piece of art but my space is a mess so I also feel like I should just keep going. So I’m really just staring at my feet and procrastinating. Anybody else get stuck like this when working on a large project? #fiberart #wool #wetfelting #needlefelting #emeraldhilltextiles
A look back at one of my favorite felted waterfalls. ❤️ Sometimes it’s hard to post the inspiration photo because I see what my piece didn’t capture in the scene. This piece has already sold but if I could go back I’d add more turbulence to the bottom of the falls. I worked from a long exposure photo instead of the moving video and this shows me I probably should have worked from both. Always learning! #waterfall #hickinghills #waterfallart #feltedart #wetfelting
Today’s guest of Fiberchats is a felting artist
Laura Ricks developed a love for art at an early age, spending much of her youth sketching and drawing. While attending college, her creative passions were put on hold to pursue a degree in Biology, eventually leading to a career in Medical Technology. However, after 15 years in the lab, she realized all of her time spent behind the microscope wasn’t allowing her a creative outlet and she struggled to find time at home to create art pieces, mainly working with fibers. When she stumbled upon a set of felted ornaments, she was instantly drawn to their soft feel and rich colors and began exploring the techniques of making felt, the oldest known textile. She quickly fell in love with the medium and has been discovering beautiful ways to entangle and bind vibrant wool fibers into textiles since 2017.

Currently Laura lives in Lafayette, Indiana with her husband and children and is dedicated to felting full time. She loves creating landscapes and nature inspired wet felted wall art as well as small needle felted objects. She also enjoys experimenting with new ways to incorporate yarns, silks and other fibers into her felting to create texture and dimension in her work.She has participated in many juried art fairs, is a four-time recipient of the People’s Choice Award at Art on the Wabash and has several online felting courses available through.
