Braided copper plus a lively green lucky four leafed clover is my new favorite combination!
I had a lot of fun incorporating the four leaf theme into the clasp. The green beads came from a stash of a good friend, so this piece is bursting with good luck and happiness!

This design is delightful! I love the look of the copper with the green clover leaf. It has the luck of the Irish about it!
Sort of luck of the Irish... I did read at wikipedia, that shamrocks are supposed to be 3 leafed to symbolize the big 3 of Christianity - God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost. So it isn't necessarily for Ireland or St. Patrick's day, but the orangey copper mixed with the green does remind me of the flag of that nation. Anyway, I think the colors go really well together and all stages of copper oxidation look good with lucky leaves!
