March 13 - St. Patrick's Wearables




"May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past."
   ~ Irish Toast


David Brenion created both of these for Balloon Magic Magazine. 

Issue #63 gave us the Leprechaun bracelet (there is a strap that goes under the beard).  This bracelet had some interesting ideas on getting the top and sides of the hat to bow, and I could see it used for a dapper gentleman or perhaps anyone with a stovepipe-style hat.

In issue #70, David showed us the hairband.  It's a very quick design, accessorize as much as you like after you create a basic structure.  It's hard to get things to both sit right on a hairband and have that hairband sit on a head.  There must be some secret to positioning it that currently eludes me ...


How can you tell if a Leprechauns is having a good time?
He's Dublin over in laughter!
