I love alpacas and llamas! But who doesn't, really?

When I was writing my third book, my publisher wanted me to design a horse pattern for all our readers who loved horses. I tried for weeks and I was stumped, I just couldn't get it right. Maybe it's because I'm embarrassingly afraid of horses, or maybe this llama just really wanted to come to life. Because that's what I had to present to my publisher at the end, my version of a horse - the llama. =D

I hope you will love it as much as I do, it's one of my absolute favorites!
