    I love this channel so much because it takes the "why shouldn't I wear socks with sandals" vibe, makes it fantasy, and morphs it into "Hey, why shouldn't I make a fully functioning set of armor complete with accessories and then wear it in a public setting?". I wish I had this much confidence because this is absolutely awesome.

    If you get bumps in your worbla, they're air bubbles. While it's still warm, you can pop them with a pin and gently smooth them out. Or you can heat bits up in small sections for larger projects. Hope this helps for anyone crafting with worbla. 😊

    You said the bracer looked like a pop tart and then I noticed how much the rest of the pieces resemble gingerbread (the white parts being icing), and I couldn't stop thinking about like, Hansel and Gretel have to fight the witch so they make armor out of her house. Also, the hair extensions do be looking real cool. 🗡⚔

  • @DragonriderEpona

    Some things that came to my mind while watching this video and might be helpful to someone who wants to make an armour:
    - I once talked to a guy who made a roman legionary armour for a historic festival. He told that he took an entire winter to make his chainmail. Those rings he used were a bit smaller than my pinkie's nail. So yes, it takes a loooot of time.
    - making more ancient inspired armour pieces like shin guards could be made of leather or use a soccer shin guards as a base.
    - though more expensive in material (and tools, paints etc.) I think using leather would be a more comfortable and longer lasting option for doing fashionable looking armour.
    - for that chainmail skirt, maybe it would be a good idea to wrap the belt‐chain in leather or a thick linen tape so it's 1) more comfortable and 2) lasts longer

    Really hope this trend will continue, I love it.
    I am wearing armour on a pretty regular basis. In two ways: whilst cosplaying as a Mandalorian. And as a motorcycle rider. Both get hot really quickly when just standing around. The bike armour is fine as long as the iron steed is moving. With the Mandalorian variety I have to remind myself often to hydrate enough. Otherwise, I would just faint. Using the bathroom is a hassle, because I am female.
    Also, the pieces have to be very precisely tailored to your measurements and you have to know how real armour works. I recomment Dr. Tobias Capwell's lectures if you seriously want to get a grasp of it - i.e. study it. It is really fascinating and fun.

    Watching PricklyAlpaca videos just reminds me that it would be a TERRIBLE idea for me to pick up crafting hobbies like this.
    Not because I’d be bad at them, but because my room would absolutely overflow with _stuff_ and I would have no place to sleep. And I would definitely wear said stuff exactly once before relegating it to my “I should wear this again but I inevitably won’t” collection. It’s already happening with my existing hobbies of knitting/sewing. :(
    So I content myself with watching hehehe.
