Hope no one got pinched today!

I had a lot of fun with rainbows while looking for a pot of gold this March.

I had this boring wood frame for the longest time! It is one of those craft items that are just add “whatever art medium you like” and viola. The rainbow only had space for three colors initially, but through the power of color theory and blending I managed to squeeze in six colors! My favorite color was sadly left out, but it does make a comeback in the bottom part of my sky gradient, so at least I have some purple. Also I could not get my oh so shiny foil to stick to the frame. I wanted the horse and stars to be extra, but they plain for now. I did review my video, where the foil does work, so I am hoping Mod Podge will come in clutch and save the day . . . eventually.

I also made a special St. Patty’s Day meal. I made a chicken, “rainbow” rotini (really only tricolor, why are all my rainbow only three colors lately), pesto dish. I was feeling festive so I also mixed a drink with a clover stir stick (recent find from the hoard)! The drink is a non-alcoholic margarita mix with a green sugar rim, and I did not have lemons or limes so I improvised and added a bit of honey to the rim. Honey worked even better than lemon juice, it is the perfect stickiness and holds the sugar in place nicely.
