Description
10 new alpackins are now available in my Etsy shop!

Alpackins are curly furred balls with handpainted alpaca faces, so sweet. They are about 4" diameter, weigh 100g each and are filled with steel shot and fluff.

They are handsewn and the original alpaca face was sculpted in polymer clay by me, then moulded and cast in resin. They have been painted with acrylics and then varnished several times, so they can be dropped and shouldn't scratch, although they are not indestructible. They are a limited run with a maximum of 20 being made, this is the last batch of ten! After this alpackins will be resculpted and recast and I can't guarantee they will look the same (but I'll try my best!)

Alpackins are a perfect and thoughtful gift for anyone you know with alpacas, or for the aspiring smallholder in your life. Real alpacas are expensive and need things like food and space, but alpackins are happy with a shelf or desk to loiter on. You could even hide one in a mug and surprise guests. Hours of fun to be had and no cleaning up afterwards!

Please note that these are not toys, they have hard resin faces and small parts that could be pulled off and eaten by children. They would make a great gift for a teen though (provided they like alpacas and don't like eating bits of toys).
