Thank you for this comment! Yes, I gave this Llama to my mother several years ago, and after her death last year I “inherited it” so I decided to perk her up with a new “saddle blanket” and coat of red paint. I do think she looks good, even at her advanced age,nO?

That is so cool!
Here is something funny: when I read that you originally made this years ago, and you have now repaired and repainted it, I felt a rush of happiness inside. It makes me feel good to know that you aren’t only creating new things, you are also maintaining and revitalizing old things.
I guess I am feeling a bit old and in need of repair and revitalization at the moment. So I’m sentimental about things that are in the same condition. 😊
