  1. Llama UK At Fasterlentellamas.co.uk, we heartily welcome you to visit llamas in the UK. Llamas are very social herd animals and sometimes spit at each other. Get Visit Here: - https://www.fasterlentellamas.co.uk/ Llamas are members of the South American camelid family. Domesticated from the Guanaco some 5000 years ago their ancestors inhabited the plains of North America and migrated south to the Andes about three million years ago. Llamas can be grouped broadly into two types: Ccara and Tampuli.

  2. “Ccara”, the most commonly seen type in the UK, has a short to medium length coat with very short fibre on the legs and head and tends to be larger than the Tampuli. The“Tampuli” is more heavily wooled than the Ccara, its coat extending down the legs and often distinguished by a woolly “topknot”. The llama is the largest of the South American Camelids, weighing anything up to 400lbs (180kg) and standing approximately 4 ft (1.25m) at the shoulder. Elegant with an exotic quality, llamas are strong, intelligent and hardy. They have a gentle temperament and inquisitive nature. With their distinctive “banana” shaped ears, they are found in a variety of colours from solid white to black and with varying shades and mixes of brown and grey. Llamas are very diverse animals and are becoming much sought after in the UK for their many attributes Their life span is 15 to 25 years although some may live to be over 30. Field Pets: Llamas are becoming increasingly popular as field pets being gentle, quiet, hardy and undemanding. They live in harmony with other field stock and make good companions for lone ponies etc. They quickly learn to wear a halter and to be led. Llamas can be taught to pull a cart. Trekking: Llamas can be walked for pleasure and will happily carry a pack, offering the long distance walker or the picnicking family both a fun companion and a willing helper! Some enterprises around the UK offer llama treks of varying lengths from just a half day upwards. Fibre: llamas have a double fleece; an outer guard hair and a fine, soft undercoat much sought after by hand spinners. You do not have to shear Llamas at all, but the undercoat can be used to make an array of wonderful garments, and the

  3. guard hair can be used for other products such as bags, rugs, etc. The fleece comes in many natural colours from white to black with a wide range of browns and greys in between. Livestock guardians: Although gentle by nature, male llamas are protective of their group and are used very successfully to keep predators from attacking lambs and even ducks and poultry Guanacos The Guanaco is not domesticated in South America, but there are a small number of domestic herds in the UK. The Guanaco has an outstanding fleece, even finer than the Llama. Guanacos are a honey shade of brown or cinnamon with white under-parts and dark grey head. They stand approximately 1 to 1.5 metres at the withers, weighing 100-150 Kgs. For more information about llamas, please visit The British Llama Society. THE ARTIST English Artist, Sarah Elizabeth Madsen attended Central Saint Martins School of Art & Design in London, England. There she gained a BA Hons Degree in Jewellery Design. This interest in 3D Design was quite a different direction from her first love of Fine Art. The Desire to follow figurative art has been constant theme throughout her life as an artist. In 1992 the artist received a Travel Bursary from The Royal Society of British Sculptors on a Medal Design. She has also exhibited at various locations such as the Mall Galleries in London, Silvermine Art Centre in Connecticut and also at Steven Whyte Figurative Sculpture Studio in Carmel, California, USA. After 12 years living in various locations in the USA. Sarah returned to the U.K and is currently working as a Fine Artist using Oils and Acrylics with an emphasis towards Portraiture. “I tend to work quickly with concentration to put the essence onto paper. Portrait drawing from life for me is an absolute challenge. The amount of expressions, gestures, moods, habits and interaction that people show is

  4. incredibly complex. With Landscapes/still life I love the play between different shapes, colours textures and really explore pattern and line within the piece. The use of line is the foremost expression as drawing or drawing in paint, gives the art the energy I’m looking for. The direction I take is organic and figurative in nature. Always to create a “living feeling.” Whether it is a Gold forged wire curling around the nape of the neck, through to a few chosen marks onto canvas or paper.” Faster Lente Llamas Faster Lente Walton Road West Walton Norfolk PE14 7AG United Kingdom Email: tina@fasterlentellamas.co.uk Tel : 07890 025064
