Happy Wearin' o' the Green Day!!!
Want you to meet, Paddy...the long lost leprechaun of the Texas Coast, he's creating very soft shadows today...
Of course, he's just one of those wooden ball creations of mine. I had a set of them left after I made the bunny rabbit a couple weeks ago, and instead of having them sit around collecting dust and cluttering my craft box where I have it stored in the garage, I thought I'd just glue 'em together and paint 'em up. The hat is green felt, the tip of the hat is a small glass shamrock, the beard was dyed with a mixture of food coloring [red and yellow] to make it an Irish red-head. I also took a small piece of grapevine and chopped it down to make a small shillelagh to assist him in walking 'round the house. After I trimmed the beard some, I twisted a few strands of the dyed beard [fur] to make him mustachioed.
Paddy is so cute. You are quite creative and always have the neatest crafting projects.
ReplyDeleteMay you always have walls for the winds,
Deletea roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
Thanks, LHG
Too cute!! Gosh, you are an expert crafter.
ReplyDeleteMay St. Patrick guard you wherever you go,
Deleteand guide you in whatever you do--
and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always.
Happy St. Patricks Day.
ReplyDeleteMay the road rise to meet you,
DeleteMay the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Good Monday morning to you. We had rain and snow mixed last night so that meant icy spots on road this A.M. and oh that wind!!!!
