Are you all ready for a St. Patrick's Day celebration this weekend?
Try your luck at this Leprechaun puzzle.
Or if you'd like to discover how to write a Limerick, check out this information and write an example on a shamrock, no less.
And of course, there are always fun Irish stories to read. In A POT OF GOLD by Kathleen Krull, you'll be sure to find plenty of entertaining shenanigans.

With St. Patrick's Day now upon us, the spotlight is firmly aimed at those mischievous wee folk: the leprechauns. Well, it would be, if they were easy to spot. And to have any hope of spotting them, you have to know where to start looking.

HAPPY ST. PAT'S DAY!

The day has finally arrived—my book trailer is finished and ready to be viewed! I have posted it on my website at www.chrysalispress.com in the Media Room under “Book Trailer.” It is also posted on Reader Views Kids website at http://readerviewskids.com/reviews_previews.html. I will also post it on youtube.com (you will have to search for it under “Laura and the Leprechauns”) and on my myspace page which is myspace.com/ambertkingston. The part I played in its creative process was lots of fun but it was so difficult to wait for the more difficult and exciting parts like animation and sound to be completed. Now I see that my patience paid off. I am very happy with it and I hope that you will be too. Happy viewing!
Sincerely,
Amber

I finished this last summer (june 06) but was asked to keep it under my hat until now.
The Brief was to produce a poster celebrating St. Patrick's Day for Murphy's.
As it was for the export market I was able to exploit all things Oirish; leprechauns, shamrocks, Irish dancing, Irish music and the craic. The posters would be put up in bars (Irish one's no doubt) across the world.
I produced an initial 3 rough options
option [A]
option [B]
option [C]
A final rough was drawn up based on option [C. This included the clients comments and some refinements.
After this was signed off I started the final artwork.
Artwork was produced in photoshop, a 350mb file with over 100 layers at one point.
I've just finished a Halloween Poster but it will be November before I can stick it up here.
