I'd give money to the cause. Point me in a direction.

We had jealousies in high school with the band and the football/basketball team. The sports teams pretty much sucked at everything, and the band was best in state. When we became eligible for letter jerseys and letters, what a mess that was.

Exactly what my HS Art teacher said and posted online when he found out what they thought of our work. He is a past president of the same organization.

I need a bigger mancave/office... a unicorn shoulder mount would be bad ass, with a Bigfoot head euromount next to it.

Of course we'd have to start with a caped out horse...

Wish this had come up sooner, I gave a gemsbok horn away last year to a knife maker. He made me an awesome skinner with gemsbok grips in exchange.

By the way, the female gemsbok has longer horns, albeit more slender, than a male. I think a male horn would be better for a unicorn but even that may need to be shortened.

Pirkle was right, they are in the oryx family and are sometimes called Kalahari Oryx but usually just referred to as Gemsbok.

Love these projects! IM me if you want some help defraying the costs of a full body unicorn.

Really rub it in! If you do a full body sculpture, there should be a pile of glittery rainbow unicorn manure behind its butt. And make it a glaringly anatomically correct stallion, like "Blucifer", the Denver airport "demon horse"!

How the fuck is taxidermy not art?

Can I sign a damn petition or something? You are teaching those kids to work with their hands and that is something that is being lost in todays society.

OP, check out this site/store for all the led stuff for the unicorn horn.

They have a bunch of write ups and how to videos as well as a forum you could ask questions on.

https://www.adafruit.com

They also sell all the parts.

I think you should make it barf rainbows.

Yeah if you attach a card stating the unicorns are now extinct due to a previous global warming period...... I guarantee they will let you keep them in the show.

Don't stop there. Winged unicorn (pegasus unicorn). Have some creative writing students write something up for them and how overhunting made them extinct.

What about some sculpted droppings?

Glass. 7 differently colored rods/strands, iridescent if possible. first twist together like a rope, then coiled.

I mean, unicorns shit rainbows, don't they?

(And I know a nationally recognized glass sculptor who loves shit like this (figuratively.) He's not cheap, but he creates really amazing things.)

Eta: In fact, I *think* he could twist them around a mandrel, making the rainbow hollow core. Then insert LED tape and a cheap controller, and the rainbow poop will light up from the inside, and flash, maybe chase itself, and throb to the music? I suggest the music from this:

Have the horn growing out of the back. At an art convention you will have no problem finding riders.

1) Glitter from the horn trigger by motion sensor.
2) Camera in the eyes to capture it all.
3) Post on Youtube.
4) Profit.
5) Use profits to fund next year's troll project.

Casper is just the central site for the show. The association is made up from teachers around the state, as is the board.

They have to twist people arms to take officers roles, so let's not go all arfcom army unleashed.

Hell no.

I've got no time for that kind of thing, and have told them no many times over for being elected to the board. They have to beg people to be on the board. I want none of it.

Update 8/25

Real work started today on the mount. Students were cutting burlap, and creating veins on the face. Not sure how well these will show up with the glass, but it won't hurt to try.

Students also got the eyes carved out, as well as the nose cavities. Monday we should get the ears placed and start getting the burlap base coat on.

Many students spent tome time looking for fiber optic lamps and materials. We are getting a good list together that should alow us to create some cool environment.
