Just a few creations I worked on for this St Patty's Day!  Thought you might enjoy seeing what I came up with.

Looking Good    

I've got one to do today, and another tomorrow, both pretty much the same. I'll post the one I'm doing today when it's done !!

They look great Love the mask , here is a couple of Irish fallas I made for our Airport the one in the middle is a Jersey lass

Really love the designs!!! So creative!!!

love them all!!!! well in the spirit of the holiday!!

Oops, forgot to edit and share this creation.  Love the Leprechauns by the way!

Note:  Winter Green turned up kind of Turquoise with the stupid flash --- I am not nuts --- I actually used a green with the hats!

Really loving the work guys!

The fun begins today --- I teased a local news station about needing Evan (a reporter) to wear a giant Leprechaun head (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... =1&theater), well, they didn't say NO...

So, I am going to go down and give them a giant head creation and see what comes of it.  I am trying to not expect them to use it during their reporting, but I wouldn't put it past them (crossing fingers) --- they like to have a little fun!  If anything it will get some laughs at the station when I drop it off.  Wish me luck!!!   :lol:

Fantastic Nat, hope you get a lot of publicity out of it      

Here is the display for today, the one for tomorrow will be exactly the same except they want a pint of Guinness instead of the crock of gold

Not sure how to do that yet....I may weave it out of 160s, or use a 646 tulip twisted with a geo for the head.

Prob go for the 646, as it will look cleaner, and I can draw the Guinness harp and lettering on easier......and I hate weaving :?  :?

Great works!!! All of them!

Evan never saw the post on the Facebook page, so I took him by surprise when I tossed the trash bag to him!  LOL  I had to pull it out and show him --- and he was laughing most of the visit.  I commented about something to wear for reporting in, but not being required to wear it, and he sounded as if he was planning on wearing it --- should be fun to see what comes of it.  

He also asked about up coming events I will be twisting at.  I told him, we could do a short recording at a Farmers' Market and then maybe try to setup an interview where I can do some more sophisticated and unique creations.  He loved the idea of spreading it out over a few days if needed.  I knew he has been interested, this just gave us the opportunity to talk about it and this was by far the most complicated creation he had ever seen from me.

2 notes about the creation:
1.  Do not put a pinch twist on the top as it pushes the hair back behind the skin --- it is there, but not visible.  I thought a pinch twist would help hold it in place better.
2.  Light green doesn't make the best hat, dark green looks much better!

Hey Kevin.  Do you mind if I "borrow" your design? Lol

Love the Leprechaun Kevin - I am taking it that is a heart you used for the hat?  I like that idea much more then the hat I used for mine!

Hi Nat,

Yes, it is a heart for the hat. the nozzle of the heart goes through the centre of the hair/head, and ties on to the nose from behind. Then a 260 is wrapped round for the brim.

PS I've just see your frog clip on youtube....made me really laugh out loud....thanks    

Hi Brian,

Of course you can use my design. You are lucky I just saw this post, as I am just off to deliver it !!

I have just taken a couple of photos to show some of the construction details. I'm going to deliver it now, and have a few beers and see a friends band, when I get back I will post them and go through them for you.

Be back soon
