Blarney Stone



03/06/10 - Blarney Stone - Smooching the old Blarney Stone gives the kisser the gift of fluency or flattery. This St Patrick's Day craft is really very basic and simple to cut and design.

The custom of kissing the Blarney stone began somewhere in the late 18th Century or early 19th Century. The word blarney has come to mean flattery or cleaver over the years. With this design you can gift a tiny bit of blarney to everyone you know this holiday season.

The gray rock itself is constructed with just one piece of glass. I have made mine out of an off colored dark green. Glassline paints are used to add the wording and to enhance the piece. Place a little green grass around the bottom edge for even more depth.
