March 10 - Leprechaun

Oh Danny boy, the pipes the pipes are calling,  From glen to glen and on the mountainside.  The summer's gone and all the leaves are falling,  'Tis you must go, 'tis you must go and I must bide ! But come you back, when summer's in the meadow,  Or when the valley's hush and white with snow !  Then I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow,  Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so ! And if you come, when all the flowers are dying  And I am dead, as dead I well may be  You'll come and find the place where I am lying  And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me  And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be  If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me  I simply sleep in peace until you come to me. Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so!

It's getting dangerously close to St. Patrick's Day so I realized I should get busy on some holiday themed balloons!

Here is a Leprechaun inspired by an image Sam Cremeens posted.  I have a folder dedicated to inspirational images from Sam, so when I saw he used his Blast Faces technique to make this guy I figured I would give it a go.  I made his instrument a little too big, so it looks more like a standing bass (which I suppose is cool), and there are a few other things I could do better next time - but overall not bad.
