Studio in a Bag

The limit on a checked bag for France is 50 lbs. At first the bag weighed 57#s now it's down to 47#s Pray my scales are accurate? 

What am I taking? 

Craziness. 

  • back pack and large rolling cart suitcase

  • and some kind of expandable art holder with tube

  • laptop and mouse, ipad pro and pencil and cords

  • phone

  • head speakers (could NOT find! After call to sister she convinced me to let it go. That was hard.)

  • water bottle 

  • europe plugin and one for mac!

  • watercolor + big sponge brushes

  • acrylic paint - and mix/squirt bottles

  • lace pieces

  • sunscreen

  • pens - so many kinds

  • 2 rolls of fabriano paper -45" x 10 yards (rolled together and inserted into tube. I have no idea if they will let me on the plane with this.)

  • watercolors tubes and pans

  • gouache in many colors

  • color pencils

  • sketchbooks x 3

  • scissors

  • decorative paper

  • glue

  • clips

  • ink, pen and nibs

  • apron

  • grommets

  • x-actos

  • tape

  • cat

  • hat

  • clothes

  • toothbrush

Okay. I had to take the cat and hat out of the bag but taking plenty of cat hair. Now adding a lint roller to list. Argh!

Since I will be so isolated and do not want to travel 40 miles on a train to Paris to get forgotten art supplies I have been a bit obsessed with taking as much as possible. And yes, I am going to get more supplies in Paris.

Tomorrow: The art proposal. The one that got me into the art residency. The one that must be completed in 30 days. Call it a mega art marathon.
