Happy Friday!
Nate here! I thought we would share a little laugh for the day:
For all our new followers, I am NOT a Gopher fan...at all. If I had my way there would be no Minnesota Gopher design period. Lucky for you, Jess controls the design part. My duty is the backings.
While working on our Gopher piece there were some little pieces of paper that wouldn't come up that needed to be removed so Jess had me burn them off, we've done it before with little change to the back so what's the issue right? Jess says I should have supervised because it came back with a slightly more burned spot. I swear it was an accident, but apparently Jess convinced I bribed our mascots (Sammy & Ollie) to look the other way so I could sneak in a few extra seconds with the torch. 😂
So now included in the price of our Gopher design is damage protection...I, Nate, promise not to damage anymore... on purpose. 😉
In all seriousness even with the little extra burn, I think it gives it a little character, and the design is turning out pretty good, (not as good as our Sioux head pieces)!!
Jess is about halfway through the stringing process. We can't wait to share it with you when it's complete!
