Prototype

We are a very small school district.  The class of 1960 is planning their 50 year reunion.  We have this cute little sparkplug cartoon character as a mascot.  We are one of those unique schools with a one of a kind mascot.  Not another "Sparkplug" anywhere.  But in 1960 "Sparkie", the school mascot, was a plug - - a horse.  One of the class members aged ole Sparkie a bit - creating a more ...   mature Sparkie ... to use in conjunction with their 50 year reunion.  They had decided to have some kind of memorabilia created for the reunion but in researching so far have found businesses that will take the more mature Sparkie art work and reprint and embroider it only when buying somewhere in the hundreds.   So, I said I would take a stab at it. I created a blackline "master" of ole Sparkie and scanned it into my digitizing software to create an embroidery design - then stitched on a cheap Wal-mart hand towel.

Here is the first sample....
