Half the creative joy of it seems to be finding a clever solution. I appreciate so much your willingness to break it down - I think I'll try the book-binding. I've been carrying 20-sheet 6x6" blocks of Portofino acquerello, hot-pressed, 140 lb. In addition to a paint kit, I carry a small travel-collage kit with scissors, pens, gluestick, and notebook. It's great for trains and now, planes. I used to carry a small brush and a tiny jar of Golden medium, but gluesticks seem to be working as well for out-of-the-studio work. Happy travels!!

I love making up new ways to carry my art supplies around, and love making my kit smaller and smaller. I did a similar post on my blog awhile ago. I used the tiny painting kit you referred to...in an Altoids tin, is that what you meant? I end up taking my field box from Windsor Newton many times, I switch back and forth. I like your blog! I hope you'll visit mine and drop me a line, keep sketching! Great post! I love making up new ways to carry my art supplies around, and love making my kit smaller and smaller.
