Heart Petal Seamrog



03/07/10 - Heart Petal Seamrog - This newest design is for a green leafed seamrog also known as a shamrock. It is built out of three heart shaped petals. This figure is worn as a pin on St. Patrick's day so you don't get pinched. The wearing of green on St. Patrick's day dates back to about 1681.

Use any shade of green for the leaves and stalk. For more interest, try using a multi-colored glass.

It can be enhanced with other embellishments if desired. I have applied a larger dot in the center of this clover. To add the impression that light is reflecting off of the petals, use some light green or white Glassline paint.
