He construido una alpaca. Necesité una madera en forma de alpaca, lana colorida, una tabla de madera y lana esponjosa. Primero, tuve que envolver la lana esponjosa alrededor de la alpaca. Segundo, tuve que coser la lana colorida en los huecos de la tabla de madera para hacer una manta y un sombrero para la alpaca. La coloco en la ventana de mi cuarto para que la alpaca vea el mundo y me recuerde a Perú.
