I received this gorgeous rabbit journal cover as a surprise from a dear friend today. And I recently picked up the perfect pencil pouch while shopping with another dear friend. Ever since I've carried it with me daily so that I always have my topmost favorite drawing supplies with me at all times. I'll be adding this rabbit to my every-day-pack just as soon as I fill it with paper. I'm grateful for items that feel great in my hands, pack up small and inspire me with their whimsy and beautiful illustrations every time I see them in my bag or pull them out to use. And I love that I have the thoughts of great friendships tied up with them too.
The must-have things in my personal drawing kit besides paper (which will happily now be rabbit-wrapped) are my mechanical pencil & eraser and two ballpoint pens (because I just can't bear to not have a backup if i need it), followed by a black and a brown micron pen, a black felt tip pen, a black brush tip pen, a 6" stainless ruler, my prismacolor ebony pencil and its accoutrements (a protective pencil cap, a pencil sharpener, and also a tortillon, which isn't shown because I spilled water on my bag this week and am only just realizing I forgot to replace it in my kit).
I also have colored pencils and markers and paints I enjoy using, but this is my daily on-the-go must-have kit that packs down small and is an uncomplicated, simple joy to use.
