Envelope: A Shamrock from Ireland

Ok, but how about a REAL shamrock from Ireland?

I’ve got you covered!

O’Shea’s Living Shamrock:

Did you know that every St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland presents a living shamrock plant to the President of the United States? The same company that supplies that plant (O’Shea’s Living Shamrock) will also mail one to you in March! When I first discovered these cute lapel plants for sale in the local Eurospar, I thought it was a beautiful idea. Perfect for any Irish far from home, or just for fun. O’Shea’s grows the plants right here on the aul’ sod of gorgeous County Kerry.

 


Clover vs Shamrock

Is it a shamrock or is it a clover? Shamrock vs clover.

A while back, I got a burst of creative energy, and started sketching, painting, cutting and gluing until I came up with this – a fancy envelope for my friend, Alexa. It’s collaged shamrocks, combined with metallic watercolor and white gouache calligraphy. The stamps depict Jane, Lady Wilde – an early advocate of equality for women (and Oscar Wilde’s mother).
