The Doodle Reloaded (29th)

Look back over the month of (Daily) Doodles and choose a contest from earlier in the month. It might be one that you missed at the time and wanted to have a go at. It might be one that you did, and then had a much better idea 24 hours later! It might be one that you had a lot of fun doing, and wouldn't mind doing again with a second idea!
