buzzing bumblebee print prototype

Here I try to make a piece of paper which looks like and buzzes like a bee if you approach it. Still in the experimentation phase, so the paper speaker made from copper tape coil stuck to paper (which does play sounds, including my 3 second low-res bumblebee clip) is separate from the bee/sensor. The bumblebee is my block print made in Bare Conductive electrically conductive paint. It acts as a capacitative sensor. Both the sensing and the playing of the clip are controlled by the Arduino Uno microprocessor. Turn the volume up to hear the buzzing.
