I get a lot of questions about what Mac to buy for iOS development or what software I'm using to record my videos. Here's the list of things I use everyday!
As a New Yorker, your excitement and commitment to our developing landscape is crucial to the city’s growth and progress. In Industry Insight, I hope to shed some light on lessons learned while greening our urban landscape as Brooklyn Grange’s Director of Design/Build. My hope in doing so is to help all urbanites get a jump start on their gardens, big or small. My day to day takes me to various parts of the city, typically equipped with a toolbag, and anything else I can manage to lug, drive, or bike. I have included below a list of tried and true tools that I typically bring along for the ride. They have been lumped into two categories: “On my person” meaning crucial, and “In my toolbag” meaning valued. There are certainly times when I lose these items in the abyss that is our company vehicle, or I lend them to a crew member, never to be seen again. In those instances, these tools are sorely missed. I highly recommend them to any city dweller or gardener. I. On my person Leatherman – If I have nothing else with me, at least I have my Leatherman…or rather a Leatherman. I’m fairly rough with this tool, and as such have broken a few (many) blades, gunked up the pliers with adhesive, or handed them off to co workers. There’s plenty of tools that I don’t use within the repertoire (the ruler and scissors are fairly impractical), but it is truly the multi tool of dreams. I typically opt for the Leatherman Wingman as it’s readily available and more economical. All Purpose Blade – Utility is key when you’re out on the field. Though I’ve lost many a pocket knife in rooftop meadows across the city, the leather sheath on this blade allows it to be permanently affixed to my belt. The blade is easy to fold out, lock, use, and stash. And it’s beautifully crafted to boot. Pruners – I’m a patron of the Felco 2 Classic Bypass pruners, but I’m a fairly new brand loyalist so I imagine there’s a whole world of Felco’s that’s currently beyond me. Having never used a pair until recently, I wasn’t truly sold on the high priced tool. Now, I can’t imagine using anything else. Most of my tools come and go, and I don’t much mind. These I’m fairly militant with. They don’t touch plastic, they get oiled seasonally, and I don’t lend them to anyone. I highly recommend the Garrett Wade leather sheath for easy access and to keep your rear pant pockets free of holes. II. In my tool bag The Tool Bag- This bag is perfect for carrying (i.e. hauling) all of my tools from site to site. Unlike most standard tool bags, it’s not a pocket less abyss where necessary tools mix with screws, dirt, and waste! I store anything small in the outside pocket, heavily used tools get strapped in the interior, and zip ties, bungees, etc. get sorted appropriately for the first time ever. Hoe + All Purpose Shovel – I can’t say enough how perfect these tools are for urban gardeners. Their compact size allows them to be transported easily, but that doesn’t mean they won’t put in the work. I have broken countless shovels in the field, but this steel shovel is indestructible. And if you’re not sure why a hoe is crucial, then you haven’t truly faced off with weeds. Both of these tools have faced tree pit construction fill and won. Hose washers + plumber’s tape – There’s nothing quite as frustrating as spotting a leaky hose connection and not being able to do a thing about it. Hose washers and plumbers tape are proactive and light tools to have on hand Hori Hori -The hori hori tool was in fact introduced to me by Garrett Wade! It’s hard for me to imagine, but last year I would have said “Hori what?”. Now it’s the only real gardening tool I carry around. It does the job of a trowel, saw, and blade and works wonders in urban soils we are at times faced with (i.e. intensely compacted soil or construction fill).Plumber’s key – A tool I was completely unfamiliar with until I entered into this field, but I’ve come to realize that many hose spigots in the city can only be opened with this key. The real value of this tool may be due to the fact that I am, more often than not, unequipped with it. As such the plumber’s key now has a very specific home in that little front pocket of my tool bag. Bungee and zip ties – I have been caught without these items too many times to make the mistake again. I always keep these items bundled up in my bag and I’ve never been sorry about it. If I’m wise or reminded I’ll also carry some gloves, a water bottle, and a solar powered charger.

I do a lot of travelling and take my sketching supplies with me all over the world. I've often been asked to do a blog about what I carry with me, so here it is. I'm packing it up to take to Cairns today! It wouldn't be the same kit for everyone, but may give you some ideas. Feel free to add other suggestions in the comments section :-) I try to keep my kit as compact as I can, while maintaining a good range of tools to work with. I've sketched each tool here using my new Daniel Smith Jane's Grey watercolour. The sketchbook is The Perfect Sketchbook B5. It was a kickstarter project but apparently it will be available again through Etchrlab.com. It is made with Fabriano Artistico paper, 200gsm cold pressed. This is the 5th of these books that I've used so far and I really like them. The cover is recycled leather and the paper is a joy to use. I love to begin each new book with swatches of one of my palettes. I'll talk about those below. The tools are, from left, a 0.7 2B clutch/propelling pencil. I like the 0.7mm as it is not too fine for sketching but is also excellent for writing. I use either B or 2B leads - dark enough to do finished drawings or just light initial sketches, soft enough that it doesn't damage the paper. Mottler - 1" size. I love this little brush. I use it for pre-wetting the background for sky washes or larger areas or for when I want more of a geometric shape. Waterbrush. They are especially useful on planes or in galleries where it is difficult to manage a separate water container. Uniball Broad white pen. For adding highlights or lost whites to a sketch or for writing on darker paper or darker washes. Rosemary & Co Eradicator small sized. Great for lifting out fine details such as white window sills or for making minor corrections. Post Office Nib in a cut down nib holder. I use this to draw or write with watercolour, loading the colour into the nib with a brush. Small Scrubber brush - another correction tool. For cleaning up small splatters or softening parts of a wash. Pilot custom Fountain pen (fine) with black De Atramantis Ink. TWSBI 580 AL fountain pen (Extra Fine) with brown De Atramantis Ink Pilot Custom Fountain pen (fine) with Urban Grey De Atramentis ink. Porcupine Quill - for stirring paint in a palette or for scratching or denting the damp wash on a sketch to add fine details. Da Vinci Maestro Travel Brush size 6 Faber Castell water-soluble graphite pencil 4B - I usually begin my sketches with this. If used lightly, the lines will wash into the watercolour and disappear. No need for erasing. Da Vinci Maestro Travel Brush size 8. The swatches on the page on the right is my usual sketching palette. This is a Herring Compact set up with 24 half pans. It includes my basic 15 Ultimate Mixing colours as well as some lovely convenience mixes and great granulating pigments. The full details are here. The Herring Compact palette is available in half pan or full pan models from Jackson's in the UK. I've adapted it slightly to hold the 24 colours and waterbrush. The swatches on the left page are of my Pocket Palette with my plein air extras - special pigments that I may not often use but are lovely at times. The details of those colours are also found here at the bottom of the page. I use two plastic Nalgene bottles for my painting water. One clean, the other dirty. I also carry a water bottle with drinking water. I love the A4 and A5 bottles as they fit into my Messenger Bag - a bike bag I bought in Canada. I use a travel stool - the Helinox Chair One - as it is light (less than 1kg), compact and comfortable. The low height of this stool means I can have my water bottles on the ground next to me - one less item to have the juggle - and also that I can work with my sketchbook in my knee. I have a few sheets of paper towel and a few very small Nalgene bottles to carry the inks I use - De Atramentis Document Inks. Black, Brown and my own mixed grey or Urban Grey. I have a compact raincoat, a compact down jacket, fingerless gloves, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and umbrella and a very fine woollen scarf available, depending on the season, so I can be out in most weather. Rain and snow are of course rather too challenging! As I mentioned, I'm off to Cairns today and will take all this with me. I'm teaching a 5-day 'sketching with watercolour' workshop in the botanic gardens. I'll be posting on Instagram - Janeblundellartist Happy sketching!
I like to make them myself, I use a sanding machine to get the right feeling. The result is a perfect grip and tools that function the way i want.
