I've been posting to Thing a Day, and I *thought* I was also posting to this blog, but apparently not.  I thought the e-mail address was post@posterous.com. WTF. This whole "post by e-mail" thing is annoying me. I suppose I'd better learn the e-mail to which to send posts to my posterous account. 

2 tiny canvases, each 2" x 2".  There are three more tiny canvases that I will paint later in the month.

Today* is Imbolc, a Pagan holiday associated with the first stirrings of spring, and with the ancient Irish goddess Brigit. I made Brigit's Cross out of some dead pampas grass I gathered from my friend's lawn.

Upon coming home and watching a YouTube video of an Irish lady making one, I realized that you are supposed to use *fresh* rushes, not dead ones, and they slowly turn brown over time after being made into the correct shape. This is why my cross looks kind of gimpy and sad - dead grass tends to crack when you bend it. D'oh. Well, here is the Thing for Day One.

* some calendars list it on 2/1, some on 2/2.

how come I can't post to Thing A Day from here?????????

Just started this Posterous account for the sole purpose of doing Thing-A-Day 2011.  woohoo!
