There’s a radio programme in the UK, Desert Island Discs, which has been broadcast since 1942. Guests to the programme are asked what they would take a desert island – they are allowed eight music tracks, a book and a luxury item. Ten things. It got me thinking, what ten art related things would I take to a desert island? I’m not counting any stamps or products like that, and I’m assuming the island basic survival craft pack comes with pencil, scissors, ruler, glue etc I’m talking more the tools of the trade. I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

TOP TIPS

You’ll want to keep an eye out for the new PET tool – seriously so clever! Even more so with the name which fits perfectly with Simon’s brand. I’ll also be keen to try out the new Blender Brushes – the mini type ones you pop on your finger. They would work so well with the XL Rose Bouquet stencil for getting in all the corners with different ink colours. I obviiously love the Spring Bouquets set as I chose it to use today. However, I have a card I can’t wait to share with you using the Organic Fruits set too! I love colour studies and can’t wait to try the Color Wheel set. I can see all the swatching junkies out there loving that set! Thinking of cling stamps, the Magnolia Background is simply gorgeous. The Grocery Bag envelopes are fun as they really have a, well, paper bag feel to them. I can see them looking fabulous stamped in black ink accents around an address.
