Ok, I’m already on vacation, but I ran out of time to write this before I left. There’s one more recipe coming, too, maybe tomorrow, that I made before I left.
Because this year is dedicated to pursuing my writing/artistic work, plus rest, relaxation and fun, I wanted to have all my essentials with e on my 6 week trip. My computer, of course, is essential, but I also wanted to bring some art supplies and some spinning/handwork supplies.
So, I carded some wool/sari silk fiber/firefox fiber on my drumcarder. I’m still not sure i I’m using it right, but what comes out the other side is fine, so I guess it’s good enough.
I also wanted to bring some art supplies, but not too much, since I have to carry it all, on a plane, a bus and a ferry, for sure. So I brought my sweet little set of travel watercolors, given to me by a friend many years ago, along with some gouache to add more colors, a pen, extra cartridges (I prefer my dip pen, but didn’t want to travel with bottles of ink), a few brushes, a pencil and eraser. And a camera. It all fit in a nice little package (except the sketchbook/journal and watercolor paper), so I was quite pleased with myself.
Oh, and I did pack a few clothes, toiletries, medicine, etc. I didn’t bring enough wool to make a new wardrobe and watercolor paint wouldn’t provide enough coverage, especially in the rainy season.
Oh, and I also finished the yarn that had been on my wheel for a few weeks before I left, so I was happy about that, too. (This is an excuse to put in a photo of the new yarn)
That’s it for now. I have homework to do!
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, you definitely outdo my creative ventures.
I’m not sure that’s true, but thanks! I’m trying to make the most of this time.
