Hey, pennant guys

[Fballguy]

This area ran quite a bit. Again, only the red paint, not the blue. Red doesn't seem to hold up as well...at least Giant's red. I've gotten pretty good at combating the problem by laying the pennant flat, spraying water directly at the white sections that have had red bleed onto them...dabbing immediately with paper towel (or Q tip for more precise areas), then blowing onto the area to arrest any further bleeding. The running paint does come right off if you treat it quickly. I haven't perfected it yet...but the results look better in the end than you'd expect when in process. And the end product looks much better than what I started with.

The black that appears around the knees of player #77 is just shadows. The pennant came out very white with no residual staining at all.

Overall, happy with this one.

One interesting thing I never noticed before...#77 isn't wearing a face mask, while all other players depicted are. The NFL mandated the face mask in the 1950's but allowed players to be grandfathered into the prior rule. I guess #77 was an old timer.
