Travelling and making things

Posted on October 30, 2013 by kellymarietheartist

I don’t have enough space anywhere to make any serious artworks, but I’ve been busy taking notes.

Also, I have been making things while travelling. Mostly crochet and thumbnail sketches. It is cold-ish in San Francisco, so I made a hat.

And repairs! My partner’s jumper developed a tear, which was easily fixed. And my bag handle snapped in Honolulu, but luckily I had a tiny roll of tape:

Which was exactly the Cobb n’ Co solution I needed to get me to my destination. So far, so good. Travelling while making things is fun!

How very lucky you have your crafting skills to make repairs along the way. It is good sometimes not to have everything you need as it really pulls out your creative flare.

  Thanks! It’s definitely good to be able to fix things creatively on the road and get by. But, I would have to say it’s a skill I developed over years, not luck….
