Travis Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 OK. Here's my entry. This was kinda fun. I'm going to try a couple more! This design is based on the Claddagh ring, an traditional Irish ring given in friendship or worn as a wedding ring. The symbols represent love (heart), friendship (hands), and loyalty (crown). Here I use this distinctive design with a shamrock backer. I'd paint the backer with a diluted wash of green paint, but leave the Claddagh design in the natural wood color. Then just glue the Claddagh ring to the shamrock and add a few coats of clear acrylic spray. For hanging, I'd add a sawtooth hanger to the back, or just put in one of those picture frame easels. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I got this one in under the wire! This was a Claddagh and Shamrock I designed. You can find the pattern here. I ended up using spacers behind the Claddagh to give it a bit of dimension. Unfortunately, this was the only St. Patty's day decor I got to this year. I guess there's always next year.
