    Sep 22, 2010 - school mascot head... #1

    This is my first post in respect to something I have actually done. I would like to thank all of you for the inspiration and the information I have gained from all the different threads, especially those dealing with the camping mats.

    What I have here is a school mascot head I am working on. I am a middle school social studies teacher and I decided that it would be cool if we were the first middle school in our area to have our own mascot. We are the falcons, so I just randomly designed something that I thought would be original. The purpose of this post is to gain information on how to paint this guy. This is obviously going to be worn to games and pep rallies and whatnot, so I need something durable. Any ideas or information on what to do or what to use would be greatly appreciated...please excuse the mess in the background...







    take care,
    Tommy

    Don't have any advice on painting, but just had to say excellent work! Love what you've done with the mats, not to mention your commitment to the kids and getting involved in their interests.

    Gotta say as well...kudos to you for doing this for your school, and it appears that you have some really cool props in the background. Good luck, I'm sure someone will chime in with some suggestions for you.
