Alison uses black bin-liners, yellow dusters, tights, cardboard, iridescent paper and a saucepan lid to make a huge bumblebee on the studio floor.
Tony uses black paper, green ink and silver glitter paint to make a picture of a spider's web. After the paint has dried, he makes a rubbing of the web, using a sheet of flimsy paper and a piece of heelball. He then draws a spider on the rubbing of the web.
Margot decorates the corner of a book, using a metallic pen and a stencil of a dragonfly. She then creates a much bigger picture of a dragonfly, using silver and copper paint and another stencil.
In "Hartbeat Handy Hints", Tony shows how to mix red, yellow and burnt sienna inks to make a flesh-colour ink for a pen-and-ink drawing.
Finally, Tony displays his photos of butterfly scales, taken through a microscope. He makes two pictures illustrating butterfly scales, and looks at a model of a butterfly made out of card.
