Traveling Art Boxes


Preparing to take my art studio on a road trip.






It's hard (impossible) for me to resist a nice cigar box...
they're the perfect size for so many uses.




So when we started making plans for a month long road trip around the western US,
I pulled out a couple cigar boxes from my stash to make a portable art studio.

A box to hold collage and journeying supplies

A pochade art box with painting easel for painting while traveling



Collage and journeying supply box...
holds all my basics for doing mixed media art on the road,
including my little meandering books in Altoids tins...read more about them here. 


Pochade travel art box with built in easel...
basic painting supplies housed in a cigar box, using a 
Scrabble letter holder as an easel to hold small canvases and paper.

For more information...
find out about my travel supplies in the short YouTube video below...



A few other cool ideas I found to take along for the ride...adding envelopes into
journal pages to collect treasures in...for future art when I get home.


If you have any clever ideas about your traveling art studio...
please share.  I still have time before we leave to make adjustments.

Happy Trails

    1. We've been so busy seeing the sites I haven't had much time to create on the road...but good to know I have them with me.
