The Artist's Tool Box

Here are just a few of the things no Art Maven should be without (especially if you come and sign up for a class):

Paint brushes - all kinds and qualities. We love love love old ones too! Ink pads, water container, glitters of all shapes and colors, basic watercolors, scissors, pencil/pens, glitter mist, glitter glues, ruler, hole punch - and anything else that catches your imagination. Your sketchbook is a MUST, glue and possibly an exacto-knife. Heat guns are indispensable!

You can always keep adding to your kit as you learn new techniques and have new ideas - but these are the basic elements one really needs in most classes. (Also, I personally think if you only added a stick of gum and a paper-clip you could also sabotage a fuse box in case of terrorist attack.)

Melody uses an old tool-box to hold her kit, and Jennifer uses an old suitcase-----but not just any tool box and suitcase, either. They both have been painted by Melody and are they beautiful! If you would like to customize an old suitcase or tool box to hold your kit, call the studio and see what classes Melody is offering: and never get caught without your kit again!
