***I am so excited about this book.

I'm totally stealing Heather's link. Shoshanah and her hubby, Mike Jennings (two of THE coolest people in the world) are looking to sell their sold out Artfest classes. Click here for more info.

I'm curious-
1. What art supply (even inspirational-book, class, anything art related) are you yearning for? If money were no option, what do you wish your Secret Santa would bring you?
2. What art supply do you wish you didn't buy?

or a full set of markers (those ridiculously expensive ones - I forget their name)
2. paper - I seem to have the knack for buying journals but then don't like the paper inside
art supply I wasted my money on: spray paints, cuz as it turns out I'm allergic, NOT because I hate them. Wish I'd purchased paint (ink)sprays I can use indoors.
I have a Cricut personal cutter (the little one) and wish I hadn't bought it. I might use the bigger one but I don't know if I would. I'm not a scrapbooker but an art journalist/mixed media artist so I'm not using it as much (at all?) like I thought I would.
Peace & Love,

As for what I wish I hadn't bought ... all the scrapbooking stuff I bought and now have just given away because I don't use it.
Or all the Caran d'Ache crayons is a good idea too.
Regret-not too much except maybe the volume of stuff not particular things.
2. I rarely buy anything, but I kind of wish I'd taken that colour theory class first... because now I've got some paint colours I never really needed.
2. Anything cheap ie discounted paper etc or stuff from a 2 dollar shop etc a waste of money in the long run as the quality is not there and i find myself avoiding using it.
If money were no object, I would take MANY art classes per year. Secret Santa? A gift certificate for one of your classes.
Until then, I would also be happy if I could have a set of Golden Paints in both the tube and fluid ranges, and a set of Stewart Gill paints. Actually, I could have those if only I could control my constant urge to buy more fabric and papers, and save for the paint I want instead.
I regret having just spent money on supplies for a mixed media swap I was going to join that had to be done before Christmas, but now I realise I can't join anyway, because there's no way I could get it done on time. ( I can use the paper for other things though..it's just I wouldn't have spent the money just before the holidays)
If money were no object, and I could spend in bliss, hands down I would fly to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. and get a private viewing of all of Janice Lowry's journals. Her work was beautiful and so inspiring.
I have wasted money on " I'm going to do that " projects. You know, you see a great article or take an amazing class, you buy all the supplies you need, and then you don't start for whatever reason ( perfectionism in my case). I have labeled boxes in my garage with directions and supplies for at least five projects. Some are almost ten years old. I guess if I had a bigger garage, I would have more room for future project boxes,lol.
