In.
I have a vision of another smaller animal speared by the horn. Don't make the unicorn angry. Bonus points if the horn lights up, plays music, and spews glitter. |

In South Africa and Namibia, our guide, who fought in Rhodesia, called them Gemsbok. 
It's close to $60 per horn, and I'm not giving up one of mine. 
We can make one. May take some work, but it's the same process we use for fixing antlers and antelope horns that are damaged. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/1292/IMG_20130307_105832_000-289389.jpg After painting..... https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/1292/IMG_20130311_091115_315-289390.jpg Taxidermy is an art by all means. |

Consider if they consider carving a marble statue of a human art?

Wish I had you as an art teacher. Mine would fall asleep drunk at least a couple times a week. She'd set up a table with some random shit that was painted white and throw a light on it. That was about as exciting as it got.

ARFCOM crowdfunding!  We don't need anything right now. This won't be too expensive of a project. We may need some fiber optic lights later, but those aren't very expensive either.
I've got almost all of the materials on hand and ready to go. |

Dude... I guarantee you people would pay GOOD money for a well-done unicorn shoulder mount. I don't know where you'd find horse capes to make it look realistic but there has to be a source out there somewhere. If a snow leopard can be "made" a horse should be simple in comparison-but still a lot of work. Looking forward to this! |

Sea Kittens! Oh, you have to do sea kittens. Appease the PETA (no, not the People Eating Tasty Animals crew, the other ones) with gen-u-ine kittens from the Sundance Sea. (Note: you might have to work out how to taxidermy scaly animals, but, you know, it's good experience for the kids.) :-D

If you are doing the horn from epoxy it would be easy to incorporate some fiber optics or LEDs in the horn.

Neat!
Next year you could do a sculpture of Chief Little Wolf. With a freshly tanned buffalo robe, tanned deer skin mocs and clothing,, turkey feathers, sinew, bone ornaments, etc. Maybe throw in a little history of the Cheyenne's use of animal products. With attributions to the hunters and ranchers who provide genuine animal products for the project.

No offense to the ignorant SJW's but it's probably some of the earliest knownform of art other than handing painting on rock walls. Gosh forbid people expand their horizon's a little.

Set up a sparkling bead curtain and have the head protruding through it, like the unicorn is emerging from a magical waterfall into an Avatar lagoon. You could even fill up a kiddy pool and populate it with battery powered glowing fish and one of those ultrasonic water fog generators
