| Me being pushed by Liam at the airport in Florida. |
There are two trips on my horizon. One by car and one by plane. Last month, while spending a week in Florida, my back went completely out, and I could not walk very well. Being confined to bed most of that trip made me very stir crazy. I kept wishing I had brought some of my craft supplies, since I could at least paste some stuff down from bed (even if this were more of a traditional
glue book without the paint I usually add).
Now, with two trips coming up in April, I have been searching for some tips on traveling with art supplies. Everything I can locate on YouTube and blogs talk about taking supplies for things like sketching or watercolor. Since I am more of a true collage person, I soon realized I would need to adjust some of those recommendations.

I usually work in a 9 x 12 journal. But, for travel, I will be using the much smaller
Stillman and Birn 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Zeta series journal. I also purchased a
Bag in Bag from Ebay. I will be taking the following with me:
- 2 black Pitt pens
- 1 metallic pen
- Page bling of some kind
- Stickers
- Random ephemera
- Glue sticks
- Glue dots
- Baby wipes
- Scissors- shorter than 4 inches for the plane unless you check it.
- Possibly a stamp and ink pad?
- Possibly some pastels?
