I drew a Quechua Girl and two alpacas. The animals are decor by a traditional pom poms from Andean people (Quechua, Aymara, Likan Antay, etc)
Quechua's women use a different a lot of type of hats, the most characteristic it's the hat like a basket. It is can be decor with flowers inside that or triangle fabrics in the contour.
Sometimes tourist found parrots rest in this hats!
Alpacas are another sacred animal in Andean culture, together with Llamas, this animals are decorated with pom poms or "tulmas", this ornaments are using too by women, like traditional ornament in her day by day and is using too by traditional folk dance in Bolivia, Chile and Peru.
The most traditional colors in this culture are red, yellow, green and sky blue.
And finally, "Wawi" comes from "Wawa", in Quechua it means "Baby". "Wawi" it's a friendly nickname from adorable people or children.
I hope you like, greetings from Chile.
