Parade Banner

Our 350 and Climate Revolutions group will ride our bikes in Eugene's annual street parade, and we made a banner! It's ten-feet long, and say:

Step Up For Climate 

Bike Everyday!

I decided to use an old canvas drop cloth because it's got some weight,
and it was free. I spread it out in my driveway and used a 2x4 to draw lines

I roughed in the letters with pencil, then outlined again with black Sharpie.

Then I brought it in to my studio to start to paint. I'm using flat latex house paint and a foam brush.

I used some old white house paint to cover up some paint stains on the cloth.

And some leftover orange latex paint to make a stripe down the center

On Friday we had a banner painting party, and I forgot to take pictures,
but we finished the letters and the stripes.

We cut small slits and used zip-ties to attach it to a bamboo pole!
