The motivating factors for this piece were money in general and of course St. Patrick's Day.
I tend to somewhat horde (save) money. My husband, not so much. All I seemed to hear about on the TV was in regards to money. I realized I had better start saving more fast, and watch each and every penny. I tried getting my husband to see why and get him to do the same. I hope I've succeeded there. I also worked on my kids with the money issues facing us now. Not too sure if they get it yet, but their level of saying "I want that" or "Can you buy me this" has dropped dramatically.
I also chose this little Pot of Gold because, when I was little, we used to say "If you believe the pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow, you'll find it". I must not have believed enough, because, I've never found one yet. This is about as close as I think I'll be to one, so there you go.
I did enjoy beading this piece. I liked the texture of the beads I chose and the colors speak St. Patty's Day to me. I didn't put the rainbow in. I've never found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow so I figured why do it. Then again, and always second guessing my work, it's always there so I need it. It's not backed yet so I will think on it.
What do you think? Rainbow or no rainbow?
