Imagine you are going away on a trip to an artists’ retreat. A few days tucked away in beautiful scenery with nothing on your to do list except to let your muse run wild. Only one caveat: you are only allowed to bring seven items with which to create art — what seven supplies would you choose to bring?
We are taking a short break from spotlighting artists this week, but stay tuned for a new introduction soon!

Seven items - box for collecting fallen leaves/feathers/other found objects; pencil; eraser; glue; scissors; reused paper to make collages on; binoculars to get a better look at the birds that inspire me so much.

1. A spiral bound journal - it would be a toss-up between my everything journal, or my new wabi-sabi journal in a kraft paper book given me by my lovely friend Z for my birthday.
July 6th, 2007 at 2:43 pm2. Sharpies - a black, an olive, a turquoise (which I realise may count as three right there!)
3. My tin of neo-color II crayons. But if that is cheating, I would take the lovely teal, a white and a brown.
4. Gel medium, whichever I grab first & I’m prepared to use my fingers as spreader to keep an extra item (If I haven’t used up my 7, if we are playing strict here. If we are playing strict then I will keep the black sharpie and the teal crayon).
5. Glue stick for found objects.
6. Stapler for found objects. Loaded stapler!
7. My buff fluid acrylic.
