who knows 1 to 50 is a daily drawing project to count the days of the omer. The omer is the period of time from the freedom festival of pesach to the festival of receiving knowledge on Shavuot. it is seven weeks, 7 x 7 days, with Shavuot as the 50th day. each day I will draw barley grains that correspond to the number of the day, exploring the poetry of the numbers.

who knows fourteen?
(the echud me yodea - who knows one - song is over, now we are on our own...)
14 are the parts to the pesach seder (the song may have finished but we haven't left the seder)
&
chapters in Rambam's Mishna Torah
date in Adar of Purim
date in Nissan of the fast of the first-born
no. of days (& nights) in a fortnight
pounds in a stone
lines in a sonnet
encoded within Bach's music
and the number of stations of the cross
a 14 sided polygon is called a Tetradecagon or Tetrakaidecagon. and I am wondering just how many more polygons I can draw in this size before it basically becomes a filled in circle.
(apologise for the image quality - had to use phone to take this pic. will scan it in properly tomorrow)
