Today I'm looking back at a spread I created for my 7 Continents altered book a few years ago.
I'm busy creating art and trying to beat a deadline, so I thought it was appropriate to share this since some may have never seen it.
Ah, my namesake is on the detail above. I swear I can't draw anything, but someone showed me how to make shamrocks out of four hearts, so I cut and sewed four hearts, along with a curved stem, and called it a shamrock!
So it truly was the luck of the Irish.
Whether you are Irish or not, it's a great time to put on some green (I'm wearing a green nightgown), have green eggs and ham, toss around a bit of blarney, and celebrate with the Leprechauns. And while you're at it, thanks for visiting. This is no blarney. I'll be by to visit once my project is complete because your visits mean the world to me.

Love your hearty shamrock, and perhaps I will find some leprechauns to play with at Boot camp today - the trainers all wear green there! Have a happy day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLove your shamrock! I 'get' the deadline thing! Much as I love everything naturally green I have just realised that I don't wear many green clothes! Have a great day! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteTop of the Morning to you! And Happy St. Patrick's Day Elizabeth. Love seeing the piece. I am glad you decided to share it again. It has a great distressed look, and I love the little stitch details. They make it richer. Enjoy your green today! Hugs- Erika
ReplyDeleteLike this and had not seen it before. I'm not Irish but will be wearing my green hat when I go walking this morning.
ReplyDeleteHappy St.Patricks Day Elizabeth! Your shamrock looks amazing - the stitching makes it even more intersting!I love that all is about Ireland on the text in this altered book piece! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSend me some leprechauns (~learned a new word) they could do my homework!!!
I am just tired since two days and have no power for doing much here.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm going to wear something green and play with my plants today :)
ReplyDeleteWell, that's about as perfect as it comes! I love the page, the shamrock, everything about it!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Pat's to you!
You have a lucky shamrock.
ReplyDeleteA four leaved clover is a very lucky to find. I think clover is a relative of the shamrock So I send you good luck wishes today. This is a wonderful page.
