Packing and Field Testing My New Bellroy Lite Sling

I finally found the right bag to fit my Traveler's Notebook and art supplies! It's been a slog, but this gem serves my purposes perfectly. I show you the bag inside and out, pack it up so you can see what fits inside, and then take it to the botanic gardens for a little artist date.

That was such a lovely feel good video! Loved your watercolor painting. 😊

Hey Jenn! Congrats on 700 subs!!! 🎉 I really liked this video. As a person learning to draw and waterpaint, I especially liked your sketches. Inspiring to me--to not worry about "perfect"--just get out there and do it! Your video skills have improved so much. So glad to see you creating again. 💚

[@fromjenn]

Aww, thanks for noticing the 700 subs and the progression in my video skills, Lisa! I’m pretty stoked about it, and trying to learn a little something new with each upload. I think I deleted the bit in this video about not being a very good or experienced artist, but part of the practice for me is definitely letting go of all of those expectations and creating just to create. I hope you go out and do it too.

Looks like a really handy bag-thanks for sharing it & ypur sketches, Jenn. I'm in awe of your talent-i've tried watercolours (& oils) but painting is not a slill i posess! I can pencil sketch-&use coloured pencils-but that's about my artistic limit. I've been card-making for a few weeks as my own creative 'fix' - therapeutic for me as a way of combatting stress from the situation with my father (now diagnosed with throat cancer) & my own health issues (finally diagnosed with lichen sklerosus after complaining & being fobbed off for nearly 40yrs). Because it was left undiagnosed & untreated for so long, it now carries a risk of cancer so i have to be seen every 3 months. Many congrats on your 700 subs - i wish you many more! It's good to see you out & about & posting here again. Sending good vibes to you across the ether & oceans.

I’m glad to hear you got a diagnosis, Belle. I hope that comes with some effective treatment, as well. Also sorry to hear about the situation with your father. That must be g up so many complicated emotions and I wish you as much peace and ease as you can find through it all.
Thank you for your lovely comments. I’m far from even being a competent artist for any purpose other than filling my own sketchbook, but that’s enough for me!

Loved this video. What a great bag! Is it the the lite or the lite mini?

[@fromjenn]

Thank you! It’s the full-sized lite.
