Found a bunch of four leaved clovers!
« on: April 15, 2022, 02:41:01 PM »

Hello folks,

I feel very lucky!
A week ago I was working in my garden, till something caught my attention. The clovers.
Once, me and my sister sometimes found a four leaved clover. But that was years ago.
But still I went looking for the (almost) impossible thing. And yes, I found one!
I was puzzled. I just looked for it a minute and found it.
When a few days later I looked again and this time, I found a bunch of four leaved clovers!
I have a amount of 5-7 now! 
All went into an old book for drying. It takes up to 2 weeks.
I purchased some exposy resin for making jewelry/keychains out of them. And it will preserve the clovers too.
The molds are on their way too.  Can't wait to try it out!
The thing with the 'rare'  four leaved clovers is, that they mostly can be found together.
It's a mutation that spreads. So if you find one four leaved clover, look further. There are possibly more of them close by.
I feel very lucky! ;D.
And when I get the silicone molds, the fun begins! Finally I can preserve them. And even make beautiful things like jewelry and Keychains!  My personal lucky charms.  :).
Picture below show my latest finds. The other ones are in another book.

It's not worth doing if you're not obsessed about it.

Hello folks,

I should have post earlier..
The clovers were ready to be preserved in resin!
These three were giving a nice home : by the 3 boys next door  :).




They always want me to teach them about nature, and together we study insects.
The boys were very grateful and will treasure this gift for life, their mother told me. I'm feeling honored  :D.

Today I preserved another bunch of 7 four leaved clovers! 
Where do they keep coming from? (my garden, apparently.. )
Even found a five leaved clover.
Now waiting for the resin to get hard. That usually takes 24 hours. Then I take them out of the silicone molds.

Two of them are for friends at work.
Of course, I keep one for myself too!
Unbelievably, I still got a bunch drying in a book...
I'm feeling lucky!  ;D

Growing up, looking for four leaf clovers was a big deal in the summer.  I have a lot of good memories of that activity.  Thanks for the memories!
