Alpackins!

Alpackins are curly furred balls with resin, handpainted alpaca faces and little felt ears. They are about 4” diameter, weigh 100g each and are filled with dried split peas and fluff. 

They are handsewn and the original alpaca face was sculpted in polymer clay, 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 first batch of ten!

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!

Alpackins are now up for sale on my Etsy! £16.50 + P&P (£4.50 to US) (That’s roughly $32!)

The crazy folks at Art Lebedev are constantly coming up with the craziest (and best) ideas, the Bulavkus USB flash drive is no exception.

An interesting mix between design, tech and fashion, the Bulavkus is simply a safety pin with a flash drive on it. The idea is so simple it’s kind of silly, but it’s also a part of it’s genius. You want to keep your information safe? There’s no better place than on your person.

SAMANCO (싸만코) ICE CREAM: South Korean ice cream, a rice wafer in the shape of a goldfish is filled with creamy vanilla/sweet cream ice cream with a layer of sweet red bean paste beneath top shell. The creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had, and comes in other shapes (waffle, star, chestnut…) and flavors (green tea rice cake/mochi layer). A Korean Classic.
