Carousel for Flea Circus

I'm in the process of building a flea circus, and I wanted to make a nice carousel for my fleas to pull. I turned to Patricia’s Agence Eureka pages again, and chose this nice Danish model. I modified the images a bit by doubling things up so there wouldn't be any plain paper showing, and had the resulting file printed on 11X17 cardstock at FedEx/Kinko's.

I added some rhinestones so that when it spun, it would catch the light.

It spins on a bearing made from a knitting needle and a brass lamp finial cap.

I built two, because the first one had the flags flying so it made sense to spin it clockwise, but I glued all the animals and riders in widdershins. Also, the bearing on the first one wasn't very good, and it didn't spin well.
