pet the alpaca

Alpacas are herd animals with cute butts that like to spit at things and fight. This is all we normally need for a good night out, so we feel a certain amount of solidarity for their little floofy faces and big floofy heads. No doubt Holly Guertin – the fibre artist behind craft label Ernie and Irene – feels the same. Her soft alpaca-themed art pieces feature wet-felting and needle-felting techniques to create super-cute 3D woolliness in the shape of alpacas, sheep and more. Wall art that’s warm and fluffy? Yes, please.
