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

tape
cat
hat
clothes

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.
