September means soccer season

I wasn't able to do a lot over the summer because I was busy traveling to Europe and hang out with my familyin Germany.   Back to school and here we are in crazy soccer schedule maniac.  I thought it would be fun to create a banner for my sons team this year.  I was looking at the printed banners but thought they are kind of looking all the same. So very ambitious I volunteered without really knowing what I am putting myself into.  

Some research, measurements, a name, a uniform color... Golden warriors. I wanted this little yellow Pokemon  guy but team decided they want to be "golden warriors" well then! 

Trip to Beverly's and buying canvas, measurement and getting it to the right size took forever especially because my machine kept breaking sewing needles. Neighbor helped sewing this puppy. 

I found a cool soccer warrior image online and my art friend Donna blew it up and via overhead projector we transferred it onto the prepped canvas (gesso and grey acrylic background)

I thought it would be cute if the names are on a shield and those in team color (yellow). Many hours painting (15 hours with two people).  We added in the end some glitter on the head and on the black part of the ball.  I think we pulled of the coolest banner ever. See yourself. 

And the best part is to see the pride of the kids because their mom did it.
