Blanket Rev
There are mascots — and then there’s Reveille.
Wrapped proudly in maroon and wearing the unmistakable colors of Aggieland, Blanket Rev captures Miss Rev with all the presence befitting the First Lady of Texas A&M. Her bright expression, alert eyes, and beautifully painted collie coat give her the warmth and personality generations of Aggies have come to know and love.
Blanket Rev is handcrafted and hand-painted by Finch & Timber artist and proud Texas A&M Class of ’94 graduate Dawn. From the fine brushwork that builds the texture of Reveille’s coat to the folds and shadows of her maroon blanket, every detail reflects both Dawn’s craftsmanship and her own affection for the traditions of Aggieland.
For the Aggie who loves Miss Rev, this isn’t simply school décor. It’s a handcrafted portrait of our girl — and a little piece of Aggieland to bring home.

About This Piece
Craftsmanship & Details
Handcrafted for Aggieland
Much of Blanket Rev’s character comes from the details. Her collie coat is built through layers of acrylic color, highlights, shadows, and fine brushwork, while the folds, trim, shading, and Texas A&M detailing of her maroon blanket are painted with the same attention.
The artwork begins on a carefully prepared wood panel and is painted in stages. After the initial painting, the silhouette is individually cut and the edges are sanded and primed. The piece then returns to the easel for final painting, edge work, touch-ups, and the small artistic decisions that happen along the way.
Because that process is done by hand, subtle variations in brushwork, color, texture, alignment, and finish are a natural part of the work. Each Blanket Rev will have a character of her own.

Display & Finish
The back of Blanket Rev is finished and fitted with Finch & Timber’s integrated display system. The included removable wooden stand slides securely into the rear support, allowing the piece to stand independently on a porch, patio, hearth, entryway, or other suitable surface.
Additional mounting hardware is also included for an optional rebar-style installation, giving Blanket Rev another way to be displayed in a yard or landscape.
The completed piece receives an exterior-grade clear spar urethane protective finish and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor display. As with any handcrafted painted artwork, a protected or partially sheltered outdoor location will help preserve its appearance and finish over time.
Made One at a Time
Blanket Rev is individually cut, painted, finished, and assembled rather than mass-produced. The result is a piece of handcrafted artwork in which small differences are not imperfections, but part of what makes each one distinctly its own.
