St. Patrick's Day designs for upcoming gig!

I just booked a St. Patty's Day Gig at a local Irish Restaurant and have a few designs up my sleeve. I worked on one last night at a jam and plan on making some modifications to it, so here goes. Does anyone care to share their suggestions/ ideas for quick and fun designs? I have to do some more research and play around with some design ideas for men as well as women - I'm excited I got the gig!





I appreciate your feedback!

This is just a pic that I took of my daughter when I was practicing clovers the other day. Not much, just clovers, teardrops, & dots, but that's all I got!! LOL Hope it helps!

I did this one lst year for my son's football games they were Notre Dame.

Last year I did one big ol' shamrock on my son's eye and he thought he looked like a big tough guy with his one Irish eye. I don't have a picture though but the boys in his class were jealous. It looked so cute topped off with his scally cap

I think there was a video last year on silly farm about making celtic knots?

Thanks guys for the great suggestions. Audrey, did you use a split cake on your shamrocks?

Yep! I used a TAG split cake!

Yes, I watched the celtic knot by heather, but haven't practiced it yet.

I just went and made a st. pattys day cake! I'm not sure if it works, hopefully a girl will come into the restaurant tonight and I will get to make her a st. pattys day princess

Great job Lori!!!

My clovers need work

I did this one the other day from a tattoo deisgn. I think it's a pretty one for the girls, but might be kinda fidly at a restaurant gig, although you could def simplify it.

And from today:

Gamezgirl from the forum came up with this leprechaun by modifying a 'Santa' design and I recreated it here...


Here's a modified 'Diva Eyes' using an Irish flag coloured split cake and shamrocks and then the classic pot o' gold:

This little guy just wanted a full face shamrock!

These are some seriously cool designs! Love the Leprechan - so cute! Thanks for sharing -

Magna those are fantastik!!

Rae that butterfly is perfect, wow!

LOOOOOOVE the leprachaun(sp?)!!!!!!!

wow awesome work.

I just looked up where I got the inspiration for the leprechaun from. It was Gamezgirl that came up with this for the St. Patrick's challenge last year It's so cute!

My son let me paint his tummy so I played around with a St. Paddy's day theme and then I tried Rebecca's princess design on my 2 y/o. Not thrilled with how ti came out as I had no visual reference for the Leprechaun but I like how the "gold" came out. I used a "dearfoot stippler" brush.

I'm glad they let me paint them but I wish they would sit still ....

Wow these are nice designs! Such a talented group. I tried some of the designs you all suggested. Here they are...

Lori, I suggest googling Irish Tattoo and looking at pictures... I found a ton of good inspiration looking at tattoo designs.

I just whipped up a whole display sheet for st patty designs. I've been switching over my display sheets to cartoon-like figures.

I modeled the faces off of something Lonewolf posted a while back. Thanks LW!

These are lovely, Painted Dragon! Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a fun day Thursday. Im not looking forward to the drunks, but most people are pretty nice on St Pattys Day. Lots of luck!
