I accidentally deleted the other pictures I took of him, so I just have this one. Soundwave is the first Alpacaformer I've finished using the new cotton sherpa fabric for the fleece! This fabric, while more costly than the minky sherpa I used before, has a nicer fleecey texture and can be dyed easily. From now on, characters that require custom dyed sherpa will always be made with this fabric, as the minky sherpa is just too much of a hassle to dye. You'll still be able to custom order Alpacaformers made with minky sherpa if their colors are available, though.

One day I thought to myself, "I should make Transformers into alpacas" and so I did. Their fleece is sherpa fabric stuffed with poly-fil, while their faces, armor, and legs are needle felted. This combination of sewing and needle felting worked out very well for me: I have a lot of trouble with sewing anything complex, but needle felting everything takes so much time and energy that it restricts the size and detail of what I make. Alpacaformers stand much larger than most of my purely felted creations, at about 8" tall not counting ears/armor (9" with ears). They have glass pebbles in their back legs that balance out their weight so they don't faceplant.

I do shopfills of various characters and sometimes take custom orders in my Etsy shop !
