 Hey paper junkie AG tube fan. Hello So hopefully I'm not gonna have any issues today with the broadcast or my computer or network errors Hey, Wanda, I don't know what's going on with my computer lately, but my husband's gonna look at it this weekend. I Knew enough to fix a few things but not enough to fix all of it. Like I'm scary with computers. I tend to blow things up Not literally, but you know what I mean? Hey, me bear creations. All right, so today I just thought I could film this but then I have to edit it and then upload it and I Like live because I don't have to do any of that and I can chat with you guys Anyway, I did film and I am going to edit a sewing tutorial for Creating this belly band like I have on my travel case. There is already a video Creating the luggage tag already and I'm going to try to remember to link the luggage tag video in the description of the belly band video And I said in the belly band video and I'll say it again. This is my normal travel case That I take I've tried a lot of different travel cases Including the harbor freight bag which I have I like the harbor freight bag for when I'm just taking likes some of my supplies to Say my aunt's house because we're working on the family cookbook or something like that. I don't It's not my preferred travel case. It's a great case. I love all the pockets on the outside But when you're traveling specifically flying And we's worry shit's gonna fall out of those pockets. It hasn't to mind you But remember I have anxiety disorder. So telling me not to worry about stuff is just an effort in futility It's just not gonna happen I prefer this case because everything's closed up right and protected and that makes me happier plus This is cute. I mean really it's a cute little leather bag. It measures about 14 By 9 by about 5 now It is expandable a little bit and when I made the belly band I made sure there was enough room so that should I Pick up lots of extra free goodies or go art supply shopping or something and I have it really really full That I can still get the belly band on there The belly band just gives me extra security that I know it's gonna stay closed should these clips fail It is a vintage case So when I come back from every trip, I always check the clips that check the status of the handle make sure nothing's cracking You know, it's a vintage a little suitcase. I do anticipate it at some point. I'm gonna have to replace it It's gonna break I'll try to get repaired first because I just think it's too cute. But anyway It only has so much room inside. I'm pretty sure it's a vintage Like train case like a makeup case. I don't think it's too awfully old And how many of you just got done watching Lindsay the frugal crafters live broadcast with her watercolor color tutorial Thumbs up for Lindsay. That was a great tutorial. I love the peacock painting that she did So this is the inside of the bag it's made in China. It's not like I said, it's not, you know Super fancy. It's got some stains on it and right now there's like glitter and stuff on the bottom because it's a little dirty I should probably get rid of that Holy moly. Where's my baby wipes? It's cloth covered on the inside and like I said, it's a vintage case So I really like it. I'm always on the lookout for another one for someday when you know I lose this one because it breaks and it's just not repairable But I really like the size of this one and everything else I see is either way too small or way too big But you have to figure out what works for you Yeah, she had a great. Hey, Amy. She had a fabulous broadcast today. I loved her broadcast Okay, so I really love this case and I'm just determined. This is going to be my case that I take traveling I'm really going to bite the bullet. I'm not going to keep spares of a bunch of different kind of travel stuff I'm just going to keep what makes me happy and what will fit in my bag There's a couple things I'm going to keep even if I don't carry them all the time and we'll talk about those today I do have A couple of other like watercoloury travel bags including a tom bin bag, which I really like But it's just not the right size for me. You know what? It's too big So I do think that I'm going to end up Selling this one. I hate to say that out loud. I do like it. It does have Um like some an eraser a pencil sharpener a pencil in here. It's got a couple of Different pencils. It's got some watercolor paper. There's some coir watercolour samples in here. There's a color wheel in here I think I'm going to leave it as it is. There is no watercolor kit in here There is a travel palette in the outside pocket. I may stuff a watercolor kit in here It's not like I don't have lots of pocket kits because hello. This is me. You're talking to you I have a lot of pocket kits There's a palette here So I may take one of the pocket kits out of my collection or I may get like a cotton kit to stick in here And then sell this on my etsy shop If one of you is interested, please private message me Either here over youtube or in the facebook group or you can email me my emails in the description below I love this bag Tom bin is a company that makes different kinds of travel bags The last name is bi h and you can google them. I love their bag. There's nothing wrong with their bag. I've just never Use it because it's too big for me It doesn't work for me You want it toy private message me toy? I'll I'll even make sure to put in some of my postcards in here and I'll put some paints in here because there's no paints in here right now But it's just there's nothing wrong with it. It just is not right for me So that's going to go to a new home I also have are you ready? This isn't and again, I just filmed the video. It's not even done being edited yet. It will be um This is another travel bag now this bag is I'm not keeping it. We found this when we were cleaning and purging We forgot we had it. It's a vintage camera case and I made the belly band for it It's going to be sold as is so again if somebody's interested email me. It's leather It's very old Again, it's vintage. It has the lock and key It probably needs to go to a leather repairman and have the straps work on because there's a crack in one strap And it has the clips on the sides for a shoulder strap that the shoulder strap is missing But look how big this is inside And again, this is a great case because you could fit everything in here It's plenty big enough. You have just as much as maybe not a little bit more room than in my bag And it closes up tight. So all your stuff is protected And I love that, you know, you can give new life to one of these vintage pieces by You know coming up with a new use for it like a travel art bag and this is a cute bag I just I don't need it. So, you know, I've got too many of these things hanging around So again, if you're interested in either one of these email me, um, I Don't know on the travel bag. I think I'm going to charge around 35 40 for it Tom bin bag was really expensive. I don't expect to get all of that back Um, but email me and we'll talk about it if you go to tombin.com There I don't even know if that particular bag is they were going to come back out with it in a new color or something And I don't know if they've done that yet. So Um, okay. So this is our my travel bag our travel bag our travel bag Um, so I really I really love this kit now if you've been watching watercolor wednesday You've seen this kit. This is from art dash toolkit.com. The link is in the description of this video So click on the down arrow if you're on a tablet or smartphone I love this kit now it comes with This small little journal Which is a moleskin watercolor moleskin album filled with cold press paper Which is a great album by the way. This is the one I normally use which this is a strathmore This is my travel journal. I will be hanging on to the small one and when I'm done with this one Then I'll switch to this one. This is cute It also comes with this little muslin pouch With this little it looks like a business card holder. In fact, I bet you it probably is originally intended for that And then they've taken the inside of it and they've put a piece of white Like paper on the lid And they've put these little metal pans with a magnet into the bottom and these are probably eyeshadow pans. That's what I'm guessing Um, they look like eyeshadow pans And they've filled it with eyeshadow pans and you can fit one 14 colors in here, which is that's decent. Um, and look how small it is So I'm going to keep this and I'm going to keep the journal because I really am attracted to using these and it's very unique but I'm not going to use it right now because For right now at least this isn't isn't going to work great for me That I'm not getting rid of them though. I'm going to keep them What I did was I altered the bag a little bit So I took the bag And I fit the minimum number of email things email I feel like I need more coffee or something Um watercolor things in here that will work for me And I can bring my journal and this And I have plenty enough to watercolor with on my vacation So in here I have it came with this little Like syringe to fill your water brush up with which I think is fabulous because I used to have this I like this is a little japanese like condiment thing and he's really cute for carrying around water You know to put water in your um brushes or water on your palette. This is cuter and smaller So this is going to be again. I'm not getting rid of this. He's going to go in my spare drawer But this is going to be in here because this is cute and small I've got two koi water brushes a medium and a small one Um the handles with their with their caps in them and then the lids here I've got a number of small pencils now I I do normally carry these watercolor pencils with me. I'm actually thinking of doing something crazy and chopping them in half I know right you're all like what? These are spare pencils and the derwent one. I actually got free in um from a demo Um, so I'm actually thinking I've got like two pinks in this blue Well, actually a pink kind of a brown and a blue So I'm thinking about actually cutting these in half And then they'll fit in this pocket with my other pencils and when I'm like places like on celebrity cruises We were doing something and um when we were on our cruise and they had these little pencils So I kept them So they're because they're perfect in here and this is a pencil from Ikea So they're perfect inside your watercolor kit and they cost you nothing And this is a stavilo all pencil that obviously I've gotten it down to like the nib Like it's down to like, you know But that means that's okay because that means it's perfect for in here Now I also have a pencil sharpener in here a nice metal basic one Stadler pencil sharpener and it also fits in here, but I do think I'm gonna um chop some of these In half at least at least like the blue and the pink one so that I can get them in here So I do think I'm gonna do that I have some paper towels tucked in the pocket Um back here now where the pencils are is where the palette That it comes with normally sits in this pocket, but the pencils work great in there I've got some paper towels back here. I have this little mini sprayer It looks like a mini mister and you could use a mini mister. Um, this is from um My kindle of skin, you know protective screen thing And so I usually carry this with me and I fill it with water and I use it for spraying down my watercolor palette To activate all the paints and it fits right here in the middle And then this is my normal watercolor palette that I bring now This is one that I made up custom and I'm gonna keep using it This is my favorite palette to take with me on watercolors. It's a mixture of koi and daniel smith colors This is the colors that are in here It does have a small winds or newton brush in it a really fine one Which I could use with a cup of water And I have this rubber band on here just to you know, be safe and keep it open. I mean again I have anxiety disorder so Yeah, old an old hand sanitizer thing would work anything that has a spray top and a cap that you can put water in And it doesn't have to be very big because you know, you just need to have enough water in there And most of the time when I'm using it, it's in the hotel room or In the state room in the morning. Everybody else is still sleeping I'm sitting at the table with my cup of coffee doing a quick painting Probably of something that I was inspired by the night before um, and you know, I'm usually near a water source, so That's not a big deal It comes with a ruler, which is great not only for doing straight lines, but Um, also you can use the corners to scratch into your paint, you know to scratch lines and things in your paint It comes with two clips two bulldog clips here to hold your journal open It came with those it came with a sharpie pen I added a uniball signal And my favorite pilot varsity, um disposable fountain pen That is everything I need besides my journal I don't even have to have the colored pencils in here This is everything at the minimum that I have to have in here to work with my journal When i'm traveling so the and these two things will fit nicely in my bag Now if I have extra room after we pack the bag I do have these travel brushes. I have another a spare Windsor Newton brush And I've got these really great. Um Um, these are mitis touch I don't think that's what they're called Um, they're travel watercolor brushes Uh set Um, I got these on amazon Um, there's a flat in two rounds in here and if I have room in the kit These will be going in there because there is times when I am in the hotel room or I'm on a patio where I don't want to use a water brush Like I have the two of the koi ones in there, but sometimes I want to use a cup and a regular brush This is a travel watercolor Uh water reservoir cup thing from faber castel And if there's room in my travel case, we will be putting these in here Again, if I have room in it and I'm brave enough. I'll be cutting these in half and sticking them in there Okay, so what's the next category of thing? I always take watercolor with me because I always do some watercolor But then I always take my my year of my life journey journal with me journey You have 30 of them. Okay. Well use them because they're good for things like this Um, so this year I've used a binder inspired by the ladies over at the documented life love them a couple thumbs up for them Um, and I like the idea of using a binder because it's very changeable You can you know as you're going through your month you can pull things out add things really easily without taping or gluing or anything But it's kind of clunky to carry around with you. So next year We're going to be doing a journaling thing in my facebook group and I think I've come up with a solution That's a little bit better to travel with for this year. I'm still finishing up with this and I am getting ready to go on a trip Um, so this generally speaking does not fit in my bag Um, I do have some things I have to stick in here That's why they're that's why they're right there Let's just do this with them My daughter gave me a birthday present from Zephora So I don't know what I'm going to do with the bag yet, but I might do something with it I always hang on to things before I know for sure. I'm not going to use them Then I toss them out So I don't know if this is going to fit in there. It generally doesn't when I travel. I usually have my travel case And then a backpack I have a sac roots backpack as a cute backpack and The last couple times I've traveled the binder and then my kindle my ipad and stuff like that has been in my backpack Because this binder is just too clunky For next year we have something smaller Hey patricia, how are you? And I'll give you guys a sneak peek the video is coming out in october But for next year it's going to be like traveler's notebook style And this is much smaller and easier to take with you when you go on a trip. So look how nicely that fits in there We can't see you're off camera So look how nicely that fits in there So that's the next year's binder. So this is going to fit in here really great The binder doesn't really fit. It's too It's too clunky I mean, I'll still use it because I started the year with it and I'm going to finish the year with it But for next year, we're going to be using we're going to be using More like a traveler's notebook and which will fit in here much better And if I needed to stand needed to I could even stand it on end because it's not very tall Okay, so we've got our journal, but we know it's not fitting in there It's just not fitting in there. And then, you know, I always struggle like you guys do too I know how many, you know, how many supplies are too many supplies? All right, this is look at this pile you guys It's ridiculous, right? Let's see if I can zoom out a little bit You're going to kind of see a shot of the garbage can, but that's all right so It's too much And no matter how attached I am to some of these cases and or supplies There are some things that are in here that just don't work for me when I'm traveling They work fine at home, but they don't work when I'm traveling Now like this red hundred pen case. I love this case Um, I don't know that it really works for me when I'm traveling We're gonna we're gonna see because we're gonna we're gonna actually dump everything out This is the American science and surplus case that I made Now again, I don't know that I'm gonna get rid of this one because I do really like it but for journaling And traveling it doesn't really work for me for one thing. I didn't use any of these pages that are in here And I used it as kind of a watercolor kit, but it didn't really work well for that um I may end up selling it. I actually have three of these This is one of them. I don't need three of them. I may keep this one and sell the other two. So again, if you're interested Let me know because I have two more of these. They've already got the binder rings inside all right, so I like to take a variety of My own stickers and things with me And that's what this big blue case is This is a what a day winner. It says on the front. It's some kind of travel thing I've got a few rulers some sticky notes Some stickers little mini stencils, which Okay, patricia email me. I've got two of I've got two more of these Just like this and I have another case too. You guys are gonna see in a minute I'm going to make a pile of stuff and we'll review what I have that I'm going to unload Um, okay, so I have all these little mini stencils, which I love and I love to use and I always drag them around with me You know what though? I never bring acrylic paint with me I never bring acrylic paint with me um, I do have some karanash, um yellow color two crayons um, but I don't know that I need to carry these stencils in here We're gonna we're gonna leave them in here. I'm gonna think about it. I don't know that they need to be in here I've got some washi tape Double-sided tape some um different kind of stickers and some wax paper Um, I think the wax paper should be in the watercolor kit um What can you use to my your own? Okay toy? I don't understand that one So I'm gonna stick these back and see I don't know where to stick them Let's stick them over here This should be in the watercolor kit. So let's stick it in there with the paper towels Because that's where I use this generally is with the watercolor kit when I am traveling usually I have a certain amount of Background painting already done in my travel journal So I don't bring acrylic paint with me But I do like to bring stickers and labels and things to glue in and then if I'm gonna add any more color I do with Markers or crayons or something like that. So I want to have all of the Oh, okay, so these little stencils some of them are purchased Most of them are homemade and I used my silhouette or I cut them by hand. Some of these are hand cut Some of them are like these this one Wait, I need something there we go. Okay, so like this one. This was a piece of a larger stencil I think I got at like walmart and I cut it down small Now you could use the neo color crayons through here And which is I think why they're still in my kit I've never used them that way I'm not sure they need to be in here, but I'm gonna leave them in for right now That's what my instincts are telling me to do. So I'm gonna listen to that And this little bag has enough room for that to leave them in here I have too many pens I too. I got to tell you guys. Okay, so I also have a little cutting board Which again, I'm not sure I need there actually has been a couple of occasions where I've needed Something to cut on but then I don't carry an exacto knife with me because I don't Um, can't you can't get through security with it. So Okay, so I'm thinking now. Why do I need this? Maybe I don't I don't want to get rid of it Because I like this little cutting board and there are times in the studio I could use it And I don't want to dig it out of the travel case. So maybe that's the The choice there. Maybe it needs to stay here and I can put it up here above my desk and it'll be with an easy reach All right, so that solves that problem So now I have a case that's full of my paper embellishments and that will fit in here Yeah, that'll still close. This is a little Um credit card wallet We the girls and I got these when we were in las vegas on the art retreat that we went on and um They hold a lot of washi tape I got to tell you a lot of washi tape gets held in here So this is really nice and tight and has lots of tape in it. So that's plenty for me. I don't need more than that We're going to empty out this case now Look at all this stuff in here I love pens toy. I love pens like, you know I love pens. Okay. So here's another pencil sharpener. Why do I need two of them? There's one in the watercolor case if I needed to Sharpen something I could use the one in the watercolor case. So why don't and I love but I love this pencil sharpener It's a really good one fyi Reading glasses. Okay. I am not young anymore. These are a must keep Because holy moly reading glasses Um, let's see All right, so this is another little like travel wallet. This is from amazon. This is um, this is money plan double pouch On the front So but my reading glasses Should fit in here I have these little travel scissors. These are again from the japanese dollar store in las vegas And they're perfect for cutting out little embellishments. So we're going to put those in there Look at all this stuff I don't even know what all this stuff is cheese. So I just said we care I carry usually the only coloring besides watercolor thing that I carry would be these crayons Sometimes I'll grab some of my um neon colored gel highlighter pens Emerges yeah emergency reading glasses because I'm not young anymore and I can't really be without them So I'm going to put my neo colors here Um, these are little 3d embellishments again This is something I carry started caring with me when I first did my first travel kit and I never You know, I never took it out. I don't even know how this is open. Here we go I and I don't think I've ever ever ever used anything that's in here I may shove this into one of the kits that I'm selling There's some brads in here. I never use any of this stuff Like if I'm going to put a brad in something, I usually do it when I'm at home I don't do it while I'm on vacation So I think that has to come out. I do like to carry these. It's a cute case though, right? This is the first aid case It's a little pill box So and you can get these all over the place. It's a dollar store target and this one happens to be divided by six So if you are going to carry Embellishments with you, this is great if you want to make a homemade trial watercolor kit This is a cheap way to do it. You can only get six colors in it, but um, you know, the box is cute and portable Okay, this All right, these are actually color pencils They're really little, but they're small enough that I can use that if I want to again add some color to my journal pages While I'm out I can do that. It comes with it has a pencil sharpener in here Right here that fits in here. You can find these at your japanese markets and or um On amazon ebay They're called these are this one says mini staff 12 color pencil in card. These are made in japan I have seen them on the internet and this is a refill pencil So we're gonna put those in here. This is a credit card or old gift card for smoothing down glue Of course you we always need that, right? I just you know at some point you just get too much stuff and then holy cow Okay, a hole punch. What the heck do I have a hole punching or a punch in here for? I don't even know why this is in here That needs to go. I'm not going to get rid of it. I think I'll put it with my other punches, which is where it should be Holy moly. Okay glue stick Um, I use a lot of you who that's when I'm gone, especially uh out of town Um, you who is the glue that I usually use to stick things down with Now these bags. These are because I do travel with um decoupage medium and or glue and just in case Even though I carried in the cabin with me in case there's something something doesn't explode inside of my case I usually put things inside of a plastic bag For right now i'm going to take my little plastic bags and put them in the pocket in the lid of my case Do you use What the punch? I haven't used it and like I don't remember one Oh the eraser. You mean this one got two again. We have two now not when i'm water coloring when i'm water coloring I don't generally erase anything. I usually just let it go I like the pencil lines and marks and honestly, I don't know why these erasers are in here I don't think that I've used one at all while I've been traveling That doesn't mean I shouldn't keep one in here You never know if you have a pencil you should probably have an eraser So but I don't need I don't think I need two of them I think i'm just going to keep the kneaded eraser So we're going to put the other one away later So we'll put the kneaded eraser in here and i'm going to stick it in with the gift card in here in the pocket All right, I already have two of these in the watercolor kit. I don't need another one. So it's going to go over here Let's see palette knife that I probably need because I've been known to be out of town and not have one And have to go buy it so that I don't know that that's going to fit in here, but I have this outside extra pocket over here. Yep, it fits in there. Yep. I just have to remember it's in there Okay, what is this pokey tool? Okay, again, I don't know why that's in there because I don't think I've ever used it So the point of going on vacation is to maybe do a little bit of art and enjoy your family Enjoy the new scenery and have fun not to carry your whole studio with you, which I readily admit I have trouble with. I have big trouble. All right So next let's do something with these. I do love all my pens, but do I need to have this many with me? Now, what is this one? This is a smash box. I wonder if this is a glue pen Oh, it's scissors, huh? Okay, so I have a spare pair of scissors I don't know if I need two, but maybe I want to keep this in case one like bites the dust So I don't have to buy new scissors I don't need to bring it with me though. All right I do like this black gel crayon. Um, this is from the target up and up crayons and I like it, but I almost never use it on my travel journal. I'm not sure why it's in here Uh, a field ball and a scarlet line pen. I only really need one of these Um, we're to bring the scarlet line pen Move things around here in the pocket Since this pencil set is like a credit card. I can stick it sideways up here. Yeah, that works Pink thing little pink thing at little pink Pink thing This thing I'm not sure what pink thing you're talking about the bag that we're working out of Okay, stabilo pencil Actually, we don't need that. We've got one in the in the um Um We've got one in the watercolor kit. This is a general's layout pencil, which is a really soft lead pencil This it looks like the scarlet line, but it's not it's a polymultiball. It's a finer nib. So We're gonna stick that in here Um Mechanical pencil Let's see and then oh this pink thing I forgot about this. So this came in a set with an exacto knife And I think there were a pair of scissors from Tuesday morning And it's really handy, you know to have around the studio when you want to, you know, cut out something Um, and you need a cutting board, but you don't need a heat You don't need to drag your huge cutting mat out. It's nice to have the little small one So the little all the small mini cutting mat and um the I have an exacto knife that matches They all came from Tuesday morning in a set Okay, I probably don't need Two pencils, this is some is this a pen or pencil? Oh, it's a pen I'm gonna bring the sharpie pen And I will bring I want a pencil, but I don't know that I want this pencil I think I want a mechanical pencil then I don't need an eraser Or a sharpener So just a cheap mechanical pencil will work And I can put all of these somewhere else. They don't need to be in there And I have some idea for a cute a couple more things to stick in here I do have hole punch Now this year because I'm working in a binder Um, I have found that having a hole punch in here is handy next year. This won't be in here So we're going to put this right here for right now. These are things I would like in here Um, but don't necessarily have to be going forward for next year But like the hole punch needs to be in there the stapler I would like to have in here and the extra staples I do find myself stapling things in quite a bit. So I'm going to stick those there Oh, good to know toy Um, it also came with a little pair of scissors. So All right, we also have a little small black stamp pad Not that I've remembered this year to stamp the date on anything, but it's for stamping the date on stuff I also have a date stamp Which you know, I don't think there's like a small way to do the date stamp Okay, let's just those keep wanting to fall out. I don't need four clips. I only need two So let's put them here. Whoops And then we can zip that part up We put our glue in here You who glue Now sometimes I like to stick heavy things in my journal while I'm away Um, and knowing this I need something more than a you who glue stick Because that's not going to work So generally I was carrying collage posh around with me, but then I found this small Container of golden have extra heavy gel in matte. This works really great, which is why I needed the palette knife um you too And that small tacky glue is great too. Now this I got I found at Target in the dollar bins dollar 50 bins and having the small containers Is handy to start with but then you could just reuse a container and when they get empty reload them from a larger one So I love that now they're not going to both fit in This bag Um, I don't think I don't think either one of them is but they're going to stay in the case. So we're going to put them over here I do think I want to put a couple of my neon highlighters in here So they're bible highlighters and I have these I have a couple different brands and see do I have the other brands? It's actually Let's see. Maybe we'll switch them out So I have these they're actually for bible journaling, which I don't do But they are fabulous. These they're six colors. These this is the same thing. It's just a bigger size But I think I'm going to take the littler ones, which I like to carry with me when I'm traveling And I think we can squeeze them in here our spare pencils. Okay fat people. I don't know if I can get this shut Let's see. I guess I can So that's like the minimum for me the minimum of stuff. So I have one for paper and stickers one for tools and coloring And that fits right there Now if we were putting the other journal in it would fit right here Like for next year this year the binder is just too clunky Like it we could fit it right here And then washi tape we could squeeze in down that way Right, but this is just too clunky this year I mean the binder the binder is just there's no way it's going to fit in there So then what I would do is take my glues So I don't want them to leak I don't want to take a chance that the lid's going to come off or anything like that So I always put them in a ziploc bag Even if I'm going in the car, I put them in a ziploc bag, but especially if I'm traveling In by plane, okay, and then there's enough room for me to put a couple of optional goodies in here You don't need to have these in here We're going to probably chop these in half I don't need to carry the collage posh with me And there is enough room for everything in here and there's plenty of room to shut the lid With room to spare I probably could get you know if I wanted to Now if you wanted to and you really keep it to the minimum If you really wanted to and you felt like you needed it You probably could get a small coloring book in here instead of like all this loose stuff You could probably get a small coloring book in here and maybe one set of like markers to work in a coloring book But really it should be more about documenting your vacation and you're staying enjoying the family than bringing the whole art room with you But this is what my travel case is going to look like now I am going to Let's see. I am going to This is very well you guys So look I have this cute little bag We have this bag. We have this bag I'm telling you guys I have a travel bag addiction. It's an issue I see a cute travel bag and then I want to have it See and I have these So these are all going to be for sale. There's just I can't keep all of these Put this to the side right now. Oh, okay Okay, so I have two more of these black cases now. These already have watercolor paper and And um divider tabs in them. They have nothing else in them But I think I'm going to sell both of these So if you're interested, let me know. I think I'm going to ask $10 plus shipping or uh, no, maybe we should do $12 shipped Look at I have this one. This isn't this cute. I actually picked this up not long ago at a thrift store I don't know what I did. Why I bought it, but it's so cute I think I'm going to sell it too Just as it is it only cost me what did it cost me two dollars So I don't know I'd like my two dollars back plus shipping Um, and again, probably $35 or $40 for the vintage camera case now the tom bin bag was expensive Um, I do somewhere have the original paper that was in here see here So that's going to go with the case And I do have some peerless watercolors that were gifted to me by a very dear friend And I while I like them. I just don't use them and have to do them justice But they fit really great in this case. So it's a possibility. I also send those off with the tom bin bag If you're interested, let me know Otherwise, I and if you're interested in the bag, but not the peerless watercolors, then I can We'll do something else about sticking some watercolors in here Um, but this is expensive. I don't remember exactly how much it was I want to say $80, but it might have actually been more than that. There is something else in there in the bottom I'm like, what the heck is that? Oh, it's um, a strap to like put your keys on So when you're putting together a travel kit You know, there's lots of options out there and some of them are probably in your studio You don't have to do what I've done And you know buy everything in the planet in creation to figure out what's going to work for you and what isn't Um, I you know, I share these kind of videos with you not to brag um, but to Hopefully share with you so that you can decide which of these you think might work for you so you can make an educated decision about it Um, I do have this hundred pen case keeping hundred pen case. This is well worn And I don't know that I'm going to keep it. So that might be in the list Pile of things to make go away um I also have two large round robax pallets. I don't use anymore Um, they're filled with paint one is filled with gouache um, and it's the they're both the 15 inch pallets one is Got the lesser amount of pans that has the gouache in it and one has more pans And that has the regular watercolors in it including daniel smith I don't remember how what the pan count is you'd have to go to robax.com and look it up But they're both for sale I am asking 90 plus shipping because they were really expensive. They both have turntables and lids They don't have the mixing trays anymore. But let me know if you're interested in any of this stuff just Um, email me or private message me either here or on facebook The videos for the new journaling program for next year are going to start airing in october or the first week in october So look for those that ought to be a lot of fun And in the meantime when i'm traveling i'm going to be bringing my case and my little journal My binder separately. It just fits better that way that binder is clunky I do think i'm going to cut these in half. I'm wondering if I should just try snap cutting them in half What do you guys think I do really want to cut these in half So many bags they can some of them need to go away I actually returned one which I like never do because I bought it and thinking it would work It didn't work. I really like the little one from these people Art toolkit they make a bigger one and the small one. It wasn't cheap, but the pocket toolkit is the best thing I ever bought All right, let's see. I got some big snips around here somewhere Um I've got to find them I've got these and I've got these. I wonder which ones will cut the pencil in half do I should probably take out, you know, my dremel and saw them in half, but I don't want to I might regret this Hey, that works really well. Let's try these. I think they might be sharper. I used to do license plate art Okay. Wow. These prima pencils have a large lead in them I've got to tell you guys. Okay. So the first thing I want to do is I'm going to get some tape And I'm going to cover those cut ends of those pencils with tape So you don't have wood splinters, right? Whether this is the end that stays in the studio or goes in your bag. You don't want wood splinters either way It doesn't have to be pretty It just has to be functional This is um artist tape. I don't know I think I got it at Aaron brothers. It's the kind of tape that's Oh, I used to do a lot of stuff with my husband's masonic lodge Where we would have to hang things on the walls But they were really picky about what you use to hang stuff on the walls That wouldn't cause damage and that that's what this kind of tape is. It's the like mounting tape That doesn't look too bad. Let's see. We can smash this one. I think it's too tall Those are too big That's not too bad Let's do one more. We're going to sharpen these Anybody have any questions? I do think I'm going to keep one of the um american science and surplus the little black bags just for Just for because right now because I'm I'm really not wanting to get rid of all of them But I have three of them. I don't need three of them Oops a little piece of tape went up inside my cabinet That's stuck in there. No So then you have these three which can sit on my desk and I can put them up here in my other little Cup I have here of like half pencils And then I can get a sharpener or I can use this one And then we have voila A little travel pencil these prima ones have a lot of lead in them. I got to tell you guys Yeah, it seems like all these pencil sharpeners are like a slightly different size No questions So you just don't need to carry a big pencil with you. Most of us only go on vacation for a week, right? So you don't need a you know five million supplies Now in the art art toolkit case You could fit if you have one of the small prima sets of watercolors that would fit in there If you have the pbo set that would fit in there Which I have here somewhere pencil sharpeners clog This is real exciting watching me cutting sharpening pencils. I know No, no questions. I don't think I'm going to put the collage posh back in my kit because I don't need it In there So now I have three little colored pencils. I can stick in my bag Now you could do that with the neocolor crayons too and carry more colors with you Then the small kit comes with You could cut some of your neocolors in half if you're feeling brave But I wanted to show you like here's a pbo palette It is the same size as the prima palette So I can put these in here So now I have a black because I've got the stabilo in here I've got a pink. I've got a light brown and I've got a blue that works for me. That works just great for me So you could put These are all the same size see The prima kits the same size too and then I have because you know, I collect pocket kits So senelier has a pocket kits. It looks identical schminke has a pocket kit looks identical um, if you have a larger one like the kotman set or like this is a Uh, daily rounding it looks it looks very similar to the kotman set Um, I don't know. Let's see if it'll fit if it'll still close Oh, yeah, it will it may actually fit a little better than this because it's not as thick So this is a daily rounding set, but it's the same size as the kotman set So that would fit in here. I haven't swatched any of these. That's why they're still in their boxes um But if you have something that's larger like Um, this van go pocket set it's not going to fit. It's too thick and it's too fat So you need a small thin um kit But it will fit in here or you can use the one that comes in here and fill it with your favorite paints, which would be fun So that's it for today my current travel um art setup I love the art toolkit bag. It's fabulous and I'm going to like switching to the new travel journal for next year because it's going to fit better in the bag And I won't have to carry it in my backpack Which I don't really like too much, but what can you do? I want to bring it need to bring it with me And who knew I had spare scissors Oops, I don't want to show that on camera too much. It's got my phone number on it. I don't care about the address Um, so then I just have the bag and my and this will go with my backpack and I'm good to go Any questions? I'm gonna put these up here No questions now this is like kind of a little box like this um You know if you buy like markers like this and you have these little boxes You can cut these little There's some little tabby things in here you cut them off And then you could use this box to make a travel watercolor kit or Use it for some of your washi tape or something in your travel bag. This would be great for that All right If you're interested in any of the travel bags that I'm not keeping because they just don't work for me And I don't need to hang on to them for posterity Matt private message me and otherwise that's it for today. Don't forget the most important thing You know what that is, right? Go out and have a great day. Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it And I know a question. Lindsay got a lot in her broadcast was about travel brushes I love my travel brushes that fold up into the handle like the winds are newton brush and the Um, the gold gold ones that I have but my favorite are the koi or the um pentel This is pentel I don't have my glasses on yeah pentel water brush. I love the koi ones because they have the cap in the handle And they don't leak Sometimes these leak if you travel with them with water in them All right, that's it guys.
