Erin Go Bragh

I just had to put together a St. Patrick's Day bracelet, especially with the addition of my new glitter spirograph bead. I didn't start out with it, but I was lucky enough to end up with it!

The silvers on this bracelet actually were chosen to go with the theme as well. The Gnome and the Elf were picked to represent leprechauns, the flowers for the flowers on the countryside, the German clover (obviously!), the Dutch clogs because leprechauns are known for making shoes, and the Cobra for the snakes driven out of Ireland by St. Patrick! The goldish beads are to represent the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.



Close-up of the spirograph... It's a little bit skinny, but still glittery!

This is GREAT!!!! I love your selections -- and wow to the glitter spiro!!

Wow, I love it...you put together such a great bracelet and I love how you described the meaning of each of the silvers! Your glittery spirograph bead is so cool!

a wonderful bracelet - what kind of gemstone is the bead next to the forget-me-not?

Wow !! Lovely

It's one of the limited ones, but don't know what. Maybe someone can help? Maybe some kind of jasper?

Makes me think of a line in a wonderful song (I have a recording by Sean Keane) called "Green Among the Gold". It's about Irish immigrants in Australia.

"For Irish hands have woven strands of green among the gold"
