TEAM REPLAY - I adore this whole idea! I am a 61 yr old grandmother who cares for a busy 3 yr old grandson. Sometimes when he’s just playing I feel the need to sketch or just make some doodles- these little art cups and trays are brilliant!! Thank you sos so much!! And btw it’s MEEDAN that gives you the plastic thingy to open a block- in fact if you email them like I did and ask for one if you’ve ordered their paper and didn’t get one they will send you one! Very cool!!

[@KristyRice]

Ahhhhh so good to know!!

[@leanngoodall7602]

I have a boxy pencil case loaded with brushes, mini palette, fiber cloth, pencil, collapsible cup and sketchbook. It sits on my work desk at the office. Work while eating and then go sketch in the kitchen for an hour.

[@KristyRice]

Perfect!

[@amysceri3591]

No regretting you are beautiful right now. In 10 years you will look back on yourself in pictures and realize that “hey I looked good” so stop beating yourself up. You are great and enjoyable

[@KristyRice]

You are right 100%!!

[@louisacahan831]

I couldn’t wait. While watching this video on my iPad, I carried my iPad around the house building my first magic bag. I found a cosmetic bag under the sink in the bathroom, and out in it a tiny palette, a postcard size watercolor block (partly used), a tiny spray water bottle, and three brushes. Now I can’t wait to use it!

[@KristyRice]

That is awesome!

[@anandawind3470]

Imma just gonna close my eyes and blindly choose the art supplies who knows what you end up making how fun😆🌻

[@KristyRice]

Perfect!!

[@beccascraps8141]

This is freaking brilliant! I’m only a tiny bit in to the video but wanted to share that I have long Covid and mostly bed bound. I’ve a basket with books, my planner, my beautiful pens 😺. But I’ve been wanting to incorporate more art. This will be so perfect, possibly life changing. Thank you Kristy!!! ❤❤❤. Hoping to buy the book soon!!

[@KristyRice]

I’m wishing you so much joy with your art no matter where you make it!!!

[@wildflower1397]

I am mostly stuck in bed, and always trying to figure out how to watercolor while laying on my side, lol. I totally understand your desire to do more art in bed! I am toying with the idea of getting watercolor pencils to experiment with. I hope you do find a good set-up, and that your health improves sooner rather than later. Good luck!

[@leanngoodall7602]

For your Van Gogh set, a wee piece of double sided tape works wonderfully. I bought my green leaf paper edger from Temu.

[@KristyRice]

Oh nice!!!

[@SavvyBrandBuilderChristaSmith3]

On vacation in Palm Springs. Working on palm trees :) Using Van Vogh Basics travel set and dagger brush- omg - first time trying it and LOVE! 😍😍😍

[@KristyRice]

Sounds great!

[@bethv3411]

I love the little Stonehenge paper

[@KristyRice]

Me too!

[@NancyLewisvideos]

I love these ideals of magic cup, trays, bags. Going g to do that with my things.

[@silkbod343]

Dear Kristy…I am so inspired by how great your channel is and how lovingly you always encourage us to create that I went on Amazon and purchased this book and two of your others as well as your travel brush set. I wanted to support you. We need more hero’s like you. Loving your work always-Helen ❤❤❤

[@KristyRice]

Goodness thank you!! 😘😘

[@SheriWinston]

I have so many of these! I love making up pouches and travel art supply kits. I've got all different sizes. I thought I was the only one with that particular obsession but obviously it's shared by many! Thanks!

[@KristyRice]

Love love wahoo!!

[@LCLand]

That really is a beautiful book! Inspiring. On my list 😊

[@KristyRice]

Wonderful!

[@terrilynnstalvey1416]

😂😂😂😂 ❤ I cannot help but enjoy your enthusiasm. Since I have been watching you my art has gotten better and experimental..you make me laugh, take my art somewhat seriously and I caan not say how much I appreciate your energy, honesty and your hearing us. God bless you and all you do. I wish I could do more but I love your wonderful self ❤❤❤❤❤ Terri, alias Daisy P.🎉😊

[@KristyRice]

Gosh you made my day! Thank you!!

[@c8Lorraine1]

I have literally been building art bags for each room of my house, over the past week. This video has given me even more ideas. Thank you.

[@KristyRice]

I'm so glad!

[@debmenken3948]

Love this idea! I am going to make a few pouches for a residency I am doing in July!

[@ChantelleArts]

This looks like so much fun, its wild ☺☺

[@KristyRice]

It is!!

[@johncrane9478]

Love this magic cup idea

[@KristyRice]

Thank you so much 😊

[@user-xe4is4nj4w]

Very enjoyable video…have 1 magic pouch already but will be making lots more…thanks

[@KristyRice]

Wonderful!

[@Tammykaye]

Yes friend

[@pkelly4803]

For those who paint AND sew, I found an old rotary cutter works great for cutting paper. I mark the cutter with a sharpie so I don’t confuse it with my better fabric cutters.

[@melanievando2040]

Love the strip paint holder❤

[@melodycrites3145]

What a wonderful idea!

[@KristyRice]

Glad you think so!

[@jodicolvard2736]

Yes

[@cindyschulte6380]

Yay

[@michelleh9685]

Jacksons sells the mini stone henge pads as samples & also there jacksons brand paper samples too that are the same size, maybe slightly bigger than the Stonehenge

[@KristyRice]

Oooh nice!

[@donnakelly8911]

Love this idea

[@KristyRice]

So glad!

[@p.lanettesimpson9093]

OMG, i just bought the CUTEST little box at TJ Maxx that I fell in Love with and really had no idea what I was going to do with it or put in it - this idea is PERFECT! I love this so much!

[@KristyRice]

Have fun!

[@user-id4sk6do7p]

Starting my cups now

[@KristyRice]

Awesome!!

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

WoW what a beautiful book. I have magic cups & pouches everywhere. I waited too long, to truly take my passion next level. New sub, wild child spirit sister. Great video thank u

[@KristyRice]

Welcome sister!!!!

[@jewelleannwilliams8076]

So I have found that when I have echo, I can solve it by turning off my speakers on all devices and peripherals that are around and making sure that microphones are off on everything but the one main mic. Having multiple devices gives you multiple speakers.... so phones, tablets, headphones, earbuds, webcams.... lots of sneaky mics and speakers 😊

[@KristyRice]

Yes I turn off everything but I have the lingering issue of two phones that are too close together and produce the echo even when all the pesky stuff is managed. Still trying to figure out how to get a much better sound. I’ll get there!

[@Jarofpencils]

Such great information and ideas in this video. Thank you for sharing.

[@KristyRice]

You are so welcome!

[@kathylong6285]

I would love more info on the little travel paint set that ties to the wrist from etsy... Thanks for the inspiration!❤

[@user-id4sk6do7p]

Love this idea❤️

[@KristyRice]

Thank you!! 😊

[@elliemay1229]

I’m eagerly awaiting your new travel water cup. I thought that was what you were making 😂. This is a great idea though. I carry my paint supplies in my bag whenever I go out to someplace that I may be bored.

[@KristyRice]

Coming soon!

[@cindyschulte6380]

Still 😮

[@carlabravi8623]

Interesting ideas! Thank you🎉

[@KristyRice]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Rockymtnbloom]

Hreat ideas! Love the clip on the sketchbook! Where can I purchase it

[@KristyRice]

Here you go!!! www.amazon.com/dp/B076VJLJFQ?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmomental-20&creativeASIN=B076VJLJFQ&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.11AQ8JJ80OLL9&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m_asin

[@catherinedidomenico814]

Love that sketch book! Did I miss where it's linked?

[@emgjagogg]

I had an old straw tote that I now use to carry some supplies around the house, and it's neutral and pretty like a home accessory if i leave it out! 😅 Also, i include an inspirational photo book for reference ideas. Thank you for the nudge to make more. ❤

[@KristyRice]

I like the idea of a more robust mobile one like this!!!

[@gaylamassey6637]

Challenge accepted. I do have one magic “cup” that’s a bag a friend made me. It’s a small satchel with pockets. I will go through it and change it up. I didn’t watch this live but what I am working on while watching this is re-covering the cushions in my new (to me) little 15’ travel trailer. I am making it bright and girly boho-ish. I just got this cute turquoise plastic basket because I knew it will look cute on the table in the trailer with something in it. Now I know that I will make it my magic cup in my trailer. Thank you for another fun and inspiring video.

[@KristyRice]

Alllll of that sounds like a blast!!

[@gaylamassey6637]

In my magic cup for my trailer I put various pens, colored pencils, water color paper, a few of my Kristy brushes and my Kristy Rice Art For Joy’s Sake watercolor pallet. 😻 Of course there are a few necessary mundane items as well. I also put my Steal Like An Artist book and its companion book in to re-read. They are small so they fit. Day after tomorrow my little Havanese dog Chip and I are taking my trailer Dandi and go on a trip for a few days. Thank you for all of your inspirational videos. I love them.

[@cindyschulte6380]

Better

[@NessaWolfeMuller]

Team replay ❤

[@colleenchadwick5682]

Please make those. They would be awesome.

[@dawn4224]

Love my Blackwings. I have them in different hardness/softness. Impressive drawing pencils. Worth the money!

[@NessaWolfeMuller]

Do the Tim Holtz watercolour pencils behave similar to Caran Dache neo colour?

[@KristyRice]

They have more of a waxy feel but only slightly

[@jackielubeck]

Must have something by the bed. Something in the car. Something in my non art office. Where are you? Which city? Greetings from Amsterdam.

[@KristyRice]

Oooh I need one in my nightstand yes!

[@ChristineExpressions]

Question for the community: Will watercolor in pans survive a hot car during summer? I want to make a magic bag for my vehicle, but don’t want it to melt! Anyone have any experience with this?

[@KristyRice]

Any brand would but keep honey based pans flat so they don’t ooze or run a bit with the hot sun :)

[@jerniganswhimsicalart5625]

I have a metal box that folds out that I take with me. It has a handle and locking latch. I take it everywhere and moves around the house with me.

[@KristyRice]

Oooh sounds awesome!!

[@deborahlamprecht2553]

Gone

[@KevieG]

Couldn't find the sketchbook that you have in your dining room???

[@StacyBraiuca]

Perfect way to describe my Magic bag I take to listen to my brother play live music and I tag it #artinthebar when I post my magic art

[@KristyRice]

Oooh nice!!!

[@deborahlamprecht2553]

Echo sorry

[@LoriF25403]

? Leem pen? Sorry the audio and transcript isn't clear as to what pen you love.

[@KristyRice]

LePen

[@cindyschulte6380]

Lol

[@mangographics225]

Too much echo

[@joanpringle-canning2834]

[@amysceri3591]

I had Botox at 68

[@EveOne1960]

I've wanted to try the Cretacolor Aqua pencils for ages...I've heard good and not so good things about them, but I have a set of their Nero oil pencils that I love. I think its charcoal with oil? I love them for grey scale drawings. I'm definitely putting them in my "robust " kit! ❤😊
