The Cradle's New Spin

Here is a new spin on a lesson that I do every year with my first grade students.  To see the details about the lesson and see previous student work from the year before follow this link: Gustav Klimt's The Cradle

Side by side comparison of last year and this year projects.

This year, instead of creating a baby face near the top of the blanket, we instead added a photograph of ourself.  I think the results turned out pretty cute, but honestly I feel I love my original plan better. Sometimes lessons work out like that.  Good to know though, that there are options to spice up a lesson if you get bored with it.  What are your thoughts?  What lesson outcome do you prefer?
