I've always thought that stuff (animal) llamas and alpacas were cute; and when I came across this origami, I knew I had to do make it.
The book "Origami Omnibus Paper Folding For Everybody" states that, "The llama is an animal of the greatest importance to the people who live high in the Andes Mountains of South America" (Kasahara 144). Which was news to me, since I did not know where Llamas specifically lived. This gave me more of a reason to fold it, since I now know more about it.
The Llama directions were quite confusing. Instructions such as look at the structure in the next step, observe what it looks like, now fold it into that structure (Kasahara 144). But after looking at the picture again and again, I managed to make the fold.
In this specific origami, I learned that looking ahead in your diagrams is okay, and it will, for sure make your life easier when it comes to folding. You can look a step or two ahead even if the book doesn't say it.
Overall, I thought my Llama turned out pretty cute, and I enjoyed making it.
Question: Do you prefer to learn origami through books, or Youtube?
