OK, so I really should be practicing, but I have been thinking about decorating one of my banjo heads for a while.
For a long time, I thought about doing something completely abstract, maybe a Celtic knot, or a tree line around the edge of the head.
But ultimately, I was influenced by the writing on Pete Seeger’s banjo head:

As a Pastafarian, I wanted to do something that reflected my values. This is what I came up with:

The lettering and logo were both done with a Sharpie ink pen. I started with their water-based ink, but it didn’t adhere as well as I liked, so I switched to oil-based. I did the logo on the back, and the lettering on the front.
The logo is a little different from most depictions of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It comes from the Australian chapter.

One thing I would do differently: I would move the letters towards the center slightly. I didn’t take into account the arm rest (not shown here). It covers the letters a bit.
