Making a BJD wig with alpaca fiber

Hello everyone! My sister's wedding is tomorrow, so I'm posting this video a day earlier than usual since I'll be out of the house all day. Hope you don't mind!
I'm back again with a second try at making Rune's wig. This time around I'm using alpaca fiber and creating a hard wig cap. Alpaca fiber is beautiful but can be expensive to work with. This wig cost me around $25 to make, including the wig cap and the glues, which I purchased specifically for this project. Because I cleaned and brushed the alpaca fiber myself, then made it into wefts, it took me close to 20 hours to get this wig made. Now that I've learned some tricks for cleaning the fiber, though, I think my future attempts will go much better.

On the whole, since this was my very first time working with alpaca hair, I think it turned out okay! Now to just wait for my thinning shears to arrive so I can tame the poof of his ponytail.

See you next week!
