Zoology

We're heading into a new two-week task over at the Alphabet challenge, finishing the alphabet with the letter Z. That being said, we'd like to see your "zoology" inspired creations.
I for myself decided to work with napkin decoupage this time, creating small decorative objects like the ones I've made a while ago. Unlike the floral pieces, however, I used the motif of ladybugs.
I cut them from a handkerchief and placed them randomly onto a couple of wooden discs.
On the front, the wood is painted with white acrylic paint, which makes the bugs standing out nicely. On the back side, I used a vibrant red colour, but it didn't occur to me to turn the pieces around during the photo-shoot on Wednesday, and I didn't have the time (or the mood) to take them out again yesterday. Ooops!
I'm not sure about the use of the discs to be honest. I might try to turn them into some kind of Easter/spring decoration, or maybe place a magnet on the back side to turn them into fridge magnets? Or just keep them as they are - some kind of lucky charms?

challenges:
- krafty chicks: all occasions
- 613 avenue create: ATG
- a bit more time to craft: ATG
- a place to start: pick a shape (circle)
- as you like it: favourite springtime critter (I've chosen ladybugs for this one, because they're one of the first animals buzzing around when the days become warmer. It might not be a common pick among all the bunnies, but Easter can be quite late in spring sometimes, plus I've never really seen a bunny/hare out in the wild. Ladybugs are more "tangible" to me, and the sighting of the first ladybug is a spring-milestone every year.)

    These are gorgeous! I love how realistic they look in the garden! I think they would make great magnets or as you said - just a lucky charm on the drawing table! Take care!
