Hello my Beautiful People! Welcome back to another Goddess episode!
I am thrilled to be talking about the Irish Goddess Brigid tonight. The more I learned about her the more I liked her! Brigid is known as the Goddess of Healing, Poetry and Smithing. She is associated with bringing the light to the Earth in Springtime, as an end to the darker days of Winter. She is a protector of mothers and children, livestock, homes and is beloved by midwives. She is known for inspiring poets and artists of all kinds, especially skilled craftsman and fine architecture. She is often associated with Smithing, the forging of tools and weapons by means of fire. Fire is an important symbol of Brigid, as it is the beginning of a cycle of Creation and Destruction. She is a very well rounded, fair, strong goddess that is still inspiring people today. I hope you enjoy todays pour honoring the Goddess Brigid, the Exalted One.
The colors I have chosen have meaning: White is often associated with Brigid so I have used that as my basecoat color. The Emerald Green is for Irelands rolling green hills. The Orange and Yellow are fire colors, and also bright happy colors for Spring. The Copper is for the color of the Goddess' hair, and the Gold is for the shimmer from her cloak that is said to be made of Sunbeams, Her cloak was said to expand to any size to protect as many people as needed, getting big enough to protect all of Ireland under it.

I love the colors in this piece, and really enjoy the contrast between the brighter orange and yellows against the metallic emerald green. If I did this pour again I probably would not put down a basecoat and then flip my cups. I would flip the cups and then put a flow extender around the colors to keep them bright instead of made paler by the white. As it dries I know the copper will show up more and the color shifting magic trick of the Pebeo Iridescents will be more visible. I will show you the completely dry results in the next video, as well as the the first piece I created.
