"S" is for Snake!

This is the concept I am working on for Isaac's snake picture. Since we are going with an alphabet theme, I cut out an "s" from construction paper and made a braided snake to wrap around it from the same thread as the tatted snake. I'm not satisfied with the picture as a whole, but I do like the letter part. I didn't have any light blue paper for sky or a good color for ground cover. I might redo the whole thing and just have the snake in tall grasses with the "S" at the top. Suggestions appreciated! Here's a close-up of the braided snake. I think he is so cute!
Now, as soon as I finish my current project, I have to start tatting more animals. Who knew little critters in tatting could be so cute? Except Jane, of course!
