I didn't realize I went from 1 eraser to 4 erasers! I think I may have a problem! Am I just making more mistakes now???

[@kategering329]

One can never have enough erasers :)

[@jadestufftherat]

nope, you’re just well-prepared!

[@LuckyCharm1O1]

Can I have 1 of them, I lost mines 😅

[@userrrr._x]

I have like 20 erasers 😭

[@brokeartist3790]

It doesn’t mean that! It just means you want different ways to erase things.. and you can be sure you won’t run out of erasers too

[@LuckyCharm1O1]

A very good way to recycle/repurpose a war thing into an art thing ❤

[@youssofm.69yearsago40]

It was, and always will be a bag, nothing was repurposed, only its content

I’d consider the 1940s ancient considering it’s been 80 years, but yeah it looks awesome

[@xi-w3ird0-ix]

​@@whoisanarnb i dont think 80 yrs ago would be considered ancient but thats just me, personally i think i ancient is at least a few hundred years

[@thecraftycyborg9024]

Don’t forget to routinely polish the leather to keep it moist and pliable. Old leather can easily get damaged if you don’t.

[@prachidhanwantari4841]

I have a leather bag similar to this one. Thank you for sharing this advice

[@olivenboo]

you can also use a product to make it water resistant after polishing

[@alliqg]

This bag has been through lots of journeys, yet its still intact and great!

[@listorin6314]

This bag can be made into a movie like toy story

[@jamesrian1578]

I mean it’s probably been from one end of the border to the other but at least it didn’t have to actually be used in war

[@sohail981]

Over time, everything associated with a brutal conflict comes to be regarded as a form of art and valuable collectibles.

[@marschique2694]

This bag is just magical and oozes with personality , i really love it

[@extra_ram_noodles]

Sure hope that thing that's oozing isn't blood.

What a beautiful sentiment to repurpose something. It was used to carry supplies to heal people from war and now it carries supplies to create art, which also heals people as well, so it's purpose lives on!

[@zabbee2323]

Huh, I interpreted it as something being used during a time of destruction being repurposed for something to be used during times of creativity. To each their own I guess

[@waveril5167]

No, We never had a war in Switzerland as we are neutral :)

[@g0desq]

​@@waveril5167 when was Switzerland mentioned

[@g0desq]

​@@waveril5167 oh, in the video, i thought you were saying abt the comment

[@XenaAndKin]

As a Swiss, recognising the design, labels and utilities of this bag feels kind of heartwarming to know that it will keep helping people. It helped wounded soldiers on all sides during war, and now will help the world through art at your side.

[@oaf-77]

Didn't the swiss stay neutral?

[@animae008]

​@@oaf-77yes but I'm pretty sure that other countries during war bought supplies from Switzerland

[@XenaAndKin]

@@oaf-77 Staying neutral also means you help everyone out, including in swiss organisations like the red cross who help wounded civilians and soldiers no matter their side in wars. Switzerland also defended itself from attacks meaning that medics are still required.

[@bigfailures]

It’s beautiful how everything fits together perfectly! Repurposing something like this is not only amazing but adds so much personality to your artistic journeys. ❤️

[@StrawberriesAndCheesecake]

Its great that you repurposed the bag instead of letting it sit around, you will probably use it for a long time. I love your art and how creative you are with everything you do ❤️❤️❤️

[@charliemulls]

I am so horribly jealous, that case is beautifully perfect, for all your best art supplies,

[@GalacticPossum]

I bought a cold war era military surplus leather satchel in Berlin not long after the wall fell. When I carried it, it was always largely dedicated to a journal or notebook and plenty of writing/doodling supplies. I love that it has some history.

[@SillyGoofyGobber]

Your bag looks like it’s built for holding art it fits everything you need

[@samt4201]

This has such a... Urban fantasy vibe to it that I can't help but instantly think up an entire character who is an artist, carrie's around that bag, but anything he draws becomes real life. I like that Idea.

[@duniverse9239]

If you ever decide to recreate this as an art tool merch in the future, this would honestly be your best seller. You can even personalized the surface of the bag with your own art. I swear artist people or not would love to purchase one. You are that awesome! ☺️

[@ItsAsparageese]

I dig leather products but I bet it'd sell even better with planet-friendly-fake-leather and/or canvas models. I personally favor canvas for jobs like this

[@Orynae]

​@@ItsAsparageese Agreed, leather is amazing and buying secondhand leather is cool, but I prefer not to buy _new_ leather products since that's more animals being raised and killed for their skins. Pleather is just plastic though, which is just as bad for the environment in the long run; but for uses like this, canvas would work great!

[@ItsAsparageese]

@@Orynae Agreed all around! I wish there were a good cheap durable leather alternative that relies on either biodegradable or at least wholly-recycled materials. If there is one in any popular usage, I haven't heard of it. But I'm all for getting life out of secondhand leather

[@louise9489]

@@ItsAsparageese in some parts of Asia, eco-ethical fashion uses discarded rubber tires as their leather!

[@Mr_Tooty]

​@@ItsAsparageese That would remove the entire charm of it, may as well just get something better designed to carry art supplies.

[@random_dragon]

As someone who loves history and medicine, I can't imagine taking the medical supplies out of that bag I would keep and preserve all of it. It's a part of history

[@Heelen_Bored-Eye]

I’m usually not a fan of vintage stuff but this- this perfect. The fact that it holds everything together perfectly is just- wow. It’s like it was meant to be! Also this bag gives off your aesthetic

[@ajoggingoracle6441]

And the contents of that bag is still helping people and encouraging people to this day just in a different way and passion ♥️♥️🎨

[@aasuhansener]

I know you probably won't see this but I lost my smol art bag yesterday with my fav pens in it... starting from zero today. This video made me really happy because it seems I already have most of these. Maybe I should start a different chapter with different supplies. Thank you :)

[@Cavetownmyluv]

This makes me so happy!My dad reused a weapon box from war as a living room table and a smaller one for his video games!^^

[@Moldyyy_]

“What’s you’re aesthetic?” *scott Cristian saava*

[@xangs]

It looks so well made. Has it needed any repairs so far?

[@ssavaart]

Not yet. But I've been told I should care for the leather.

I mean, I don’t think MEDICAL supplies are really used to “destroy” but I get what your saying.

I love how he stored the art supplies in the medical bag!

[@raphaelmikusch3361]

Love how everything is sorted after use. Like the pencils are first for the the sketching, then the fineliners for inking, and then finally the watercolours for painting.

Nearly 100 years later that bag is still used to heal people ❤ thanks for all you do!!!

[@miss-asketches5284]

A little jelly, but, I'd need two. A second for colored pencils, pastel pencils, colored ballpoint pens, intense pencils, ink eraser, photo safe scotch tape, some sort of embossing tool, masking tape, glassine paper, vinyl gloves, and a sketchbook or two. Hence, I either carry a large bookbag or restrict myself to a sketch journal, colored pens/pencils, an ink eraser, embossing tool, tape, white gel pen, mini ruler, 1 outline pencil, 1 gum eraser, and a pencil sharpener. I can usually fit those in a small drawstring bag. 😉

[@grahamcracker7958]

So cool!😋

If they ever put the bag in a museum, this would be a cool story. It was once owned by a war medic, then bought by an artist. I kind of want to know what will happen to it in the future.
