You will need the bungee cord to hold it secure, just like with the larger Heilman Backpack. <br /><br />I am working on building a plein air set for the Sketchbox Double that is mostly Girault pastels. Very compact! Excellent quality. There are some gaps in the colors that are available from Girault, but these are easily filled with small pieces of Ludwigs and other very soft brands.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to taking it out for a spin!Observe Closelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395405127041255946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409724501916460078.post-72414872779553201932013-12-23T15:45:09.469-05:002013-12-23T15:45:09.469-05:00Good list!

I'm sure you came up with this before I did although I did come up with this independently.<br /><br />In my case it was a matter of fitting the pens into a pencil case that was the deciding factor.<br /><br />As far as the black thimble thing I believe that the intent is to seal the pen when closed so that the ink does not dry out as fast and I've simply been replacing it each time that I've used the pen although I probably will use your idea of gluing it into the cap to keep it from coming out.<br /><br />One downside of this that you didn't mention is that if you leave the body of the pen as it comes you can actually use it without a cartridge and put the ink right into the body of the pen.<br /><br />The other thing that I do is I like to have a pen for each color and nib so in fact I have 48 of these pens and I indicate the color by using colored electrical tape over the hole and trim using a pair of scissors to trim. Then I place them in a Global brand pencil case. I can only get two pens per slot instead of the 4 pencils it normally takes but 2 48 pen cases hold my entire set.<br /><br />Anyway thank you for posting this as it's excellent information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409724501916460078.post-70150280505417225202013-10-01T21:20:55.368-04:002013-10-01T21:20:55.368-04:00Interesting set-up.

Maybe there actually isn't a moment where a piece is finished. Maybe it's not possible to identify that spot in the process and acknowledge it. Maybe that spot in the process does not exist. Maybe what you do in practice is simply turn away.
