Hi guys!! I’ve gotten a lot of requests lately for a directory showing all the types of arpakasso, and I would love to start on it, but I’ll need some help! I’m planning on adding the section to my website Arpakasso Online, probably in a gallery format.
If anyone would be interested in helping (collecting + organizing images/info), please let me know~!
Of course there will be a reward for serious contributions ;)
Let’s get this project on the road together!! ♥

For the entry, do you have to draw only one design of an arpakasso, or can you design the full collection of arpakasso?
You can design one or a whole group :)

Hi guys and happy May!
Hope everyone is doing well~ This past week was Golden Week (4 national holidays in a row) in Japan, so I’ve been busy but enjoying the time ^^ For May activities at Arpakasso Online, I’ve got a couple of announcements.
First, I’ve just learned that this month my work hours will be increased at night by about 3 hours, so I won’t be able to do a regular restock for May ><;; The time they’re taking is when I always prepare packages, so I’m in the process of thinking out a new strategy to keep getting alpacas out~ It might only be for this month, and I’ll update here as soon as I know something. Sorry to all of your who were looking forward to the shop being updated!
BUT just because I’m not doing a total store restock doesn’t mean I don’t have stuff for you guys~ I have some goodies to share in various forms, and I’ll be posting the details for that tomorrow Tuesday May 8th at NOON (JST), so be sure to check back then :D
Thanks to everyone for understanding, you guys are AMAZING ♥
