POLL: Do you create art on the go?
Some artists have a portable pack of art essentials they carry with them so they can create art when they are on the go. Do you?
[poll=4]
If you answered ‘yes’, what supplies do you tote around with you?

Stitch Alchemy: Combining Fabric & Paper for Mixed Media Art
Moleskine Sketchbook Large
* The Moleskine, of course, and
* A set of watercolor crayons
* Two pens (Pitt and a Sakura) that are watercolor-fast
* a Niji Waterbrush or two (usually “medium” and “flat”.)
They’re always with me.
notebook, a series of pens, pencils, and always the gluestick.
Does doing handsewing at work and other places count? ;) I’m so busy lately I have to utilize every moment I can.
A sketchbook, some pens and pencils, a few watercolor pencils, a gluestick, and a tiny set of watercolors.
Any of various sketchbooks, ink pen(s), pencils, small watercolour box/box of coloured pencils/neo colour crayons. Camera. Sometimes gluestick, scissors and snaplock bag of collage materials.
My Canon S3IS which I use for pics and visual notes.Pen, paper, and I’m always on the lookout for found materials. http://www.flickr.com/photos/josiesoho/377388565/ ;-)
I have a tin of watercolor pencils and a small brush. A small sketchbook and a few pens.
I don’t get much opportunity to use it right now as I’m always chasing my toddler at the moment… but someday I’ll be able to use it more :)
A gluestick is a great idea, degan! I’ll have to add that to mine cache.
i travel a lot for work, so i have at art bins bag that is usually packed. i have basic mixing colors of goldens paints (i still love claudine hellmuth for her color mixing class), some clear glaze in case i want to mix it. pencils for sketching, some precut images for collage, and a small bag of ephemera. i also have scissors, small tubs of goldens mediums, and diamond glaze (one of the things i can’t live without). often i’ll plan to make atcs and take precut forms, or just take my journal along. i also travel with my camera, and it can be fun to print out images on the cheesy black and white travel printer i use and then incorporate them into art.
My purse: small journal, Uni Ball signo RT Gel 0.38 mm pen, Tombow Monoadhesive, Kodak Easyshare C360 digital camera.
Also, I almost always have my 9″x12″ see-through zipper pouch containing the following: fiberfil-stuffed scrap mini-pillows which I quilt into flat pieces for bigger prjects, DMC pearl-cotton thread in various colors, embroidery needles, and scissors.
I can’t commit to a purse smaller than your average diaper bag!
I have a small flat zip case with clear pockets on either side: Before heading off I add small pieces of card stock to work on, scraps of paper, collage images, fabric images, scrap fabric pieces, trim pieces, glue stick, tacky glue, needle & thread, beads & sequins, watercolor crayons, a couple pots of Twinkling H2Os, a water brush, envelopes & stamps! I always love having my art kit with me while traveling. It keeps me at peace to be able to do some small things, even rememberances of our trip.
I always carry my digital camera with me, together with a small notebook. I am trying to incorporate more of my own photos in my own artwork and some day I hope to get round to making digital collages – by which time I will have a huge library of digital images :-)
this makes me feel so much better, my family gives me grief because I also cannot commit to a purse that cannot hold a notebook for my journal, a plastic case that houses pencil crayons, doublesided tape, scissors and a few pieces of scrapping material and since I’m also shutter bug happy, my digital camera goes most places in there as well…
i’ve got this great canvas bag that i like to fill with paint, matte medium, brushes, plastic cups for water and glue, paper, and bags of scraps of paper for collage.
I like to have at least a sketchbook and colored pencils. But I’m also on the lookout for found objects at the same time.
