    That handbag is very beautiful as the paintings you did. I wish your brother a speedy recovery.

    I love that you are using something your mom made to create art.

    Such a beautiful treasure. Great idea to use for a travel bag. It would make me feel like I had family close with me.

  • @derwood206

    Cute bag! Maybe you can flip that elastic waterbrush/pen holder so it goes over your sketchbook horizontally. Let us know if that works? I was eyeballing it while you were expressing your disappointment with the elastic band length.

  • @E4Alabbasy
    @E4Alabbasy Před rokem +7

    Wow the bag looks so pretty 😍 I hope your son is better by now 🌺
    I always pack art supplies when I'm visiting my mom and only 1 out of 3 or 4 visits I get to paint something there 😅😅

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +3

      Yes, it's more tricky than I think it's going to be to take time out to paint. Oh well. My son is 100%now, thank you!

  • @shirleyf21916
    @shirleyf21916 Před rokem +3

    what a fun video Miranda!! except when the truck rolled!! i was going to suggest maybe using the pen holder thing and wrap it the long way around your journal so it could fit? LOL i tried!!

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +2

      Possibly! I'm going to have to reconsider my options. Thanks, Shirley!

  • @chasingpaint0702
    @chasingpaint0702 Před rokem +9

    Wow! You sure were having a hard time when you just wanted to get some paint on the paper! Hope it goes better for future trips. Just a thought on the elastic brush/pen holder, can you attach it length ways on the larger sketchbook? (i.e. Horizontal instead of vertical?)

    • @djhadaverde
      @djhadaverde Před rokem +2

      That was what I was going to say hahahaha. Just use the elastic pen holder the other way around, horizontally! :) Nice dusty trip Miranda, I hope your brother is getting better.

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +3

      Yes, I probably could, and I may reconsider sending them back, but I'll have to figure it out when I get back home. I could also just sew the elastic more tightly, which would be pretty easy. I'll think on it!

    I have three purses that are similar and I love them. They are my watercolor, travel bags! 😊👍

    What a cute bag! I've been using water brushes exclusively on our trip so far; they're just so much easier on the go. As you say, it is always so hard to find time to paint! We had a 3.5 hour ferry ride so I got some stuff done in my sketchbook, yay! I wish I'd brought more buff titanium though, lol. I hope your brother is recovering well.

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +2

      Ooh, I'm so glad you've already found a little time to paint; that's awesome! The water brushes sure do come in handy when a water pot isn't really easy or feasible. Can't wait to see the videos from your trip. I'm enjoying the FB posts!

  • @MinaDoesArtStuff
    @MinaDoesArtStuff Před rokem +4

    Loved the video … also I think those pen holders are designed to be used with portrait orientation notebooks so you may find you have to use it wrapped horizontally over the sketchbook for it to work as intended. Or use them with a portrait format sketchbook! Love the idea of using them for a water brush though!

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +1

      Thanks, Mina! I'm going to revisit my options for the brush holder before sending them back. I may just re-sew the elastic, but I haven't decided yet. So many options to still make it work!

    Gorgeous bag ❤

    @FaithAnnNB Před rokem +2

    What a gorgeous bag!! I have packed up the *perfect* art supplies for so many different weekends away or outings… and not been able to find time to paint😅. Hope your son and brother have recovered.

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +2

      It's crazy how difficult it seems sometimes to get out the paint. Big sigh. Everyone is well, thank you. ❤️

  • @farmwife7944
    @farmwife7944 Před rokem +2

    I put a cuff cut from a sock around my wrist when painting to wipe water brushes off and it travels around the sketchbook when not in use. Brushes also travel tucked into cuff. Thanks for sharing your video, lots of inspiration.

    Zack and Jack are both handsome boys. I love dogs.
    The leather containers that your mom made are gorgeous! I love leather. I am so glad I am not vegan!
    Your paintings are cute and colorful. I especially love the third page. It makes me smile. As someone who suffers from depression and complex ptsd, every chance to smile is great.

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +2

      Then I'm even more glad that it made you smile, Diane. Sending many hugs your way. ❤️

    Speedy recovery for your brother. I like that you are adaptable with your supplies and painting situations. I need to learn that mindset! ❤thank you for sharing.

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +3

      Thank you, Patti. I hope to get more comfortable trying to paint when I only have 5 minutes, but it's going to take some practice!

    Way cool to be using a bag that your mom made 💙 Lots of travel - fun - glad Rick is okay; that flip looked scary. Same hope for wellness for your brother. Thanks for sharing; we want to go along for more trips :)

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +3

      Thank you, Deb. My son is back to 100%, and my brother hopefully gets released today, fingers crossed. I'd love to take you along for more trips!

    you can put the pen elastic horizontally instead of vertically. Just a suggestion...

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před 7 měsíci

      I thought about that but then the pen would fall out unless it was a fat one or I always stored my book up on its end.

  • @vocationscava7078
    @vocationscava7078 Před rokem +4

    Can’t you wrap the pen holder horizontally across the sketchbook so it fits snugly?

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +2

      Yes, absolutely, but my fear is that the brush may leak or fall out. But I could just store the sketchbook in a different orientation. I was also thinking about just sewing the elastic more tightly. I'll think on it...

  • @jennw6809
    @jennw6809 Před rokem +1

    Maybe gouache would work better in the book?
    I GASPED when the truck went over!!!! Get well soon to Riley!

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před rokem +1

      I'll have to try gouache! Thank you for the well-wishes; I've passed them on. 😊

  • @tisaloewen7051
    @tisaloewen7051 Před rokem +2

    put it the other way! around top to bottom

  • @kathyschieb6686
    @kathyschieb6686 Před 10 měsíci

    Put the pen holder on going the other direction.

    • @MirandaWatsonArt
      @MirandaWatsonArt  Před 7 měsíci

      Pen will fall out or I will need to store the sketchbook the other direction. Thought of that, but discarded it for now.
