Just when I thought I was getting better -I have had a serious relapse of BEAS Disease (Buys Excessive Art Supplies)
I was just browsing around on E-Bay and there was this auction for 90 tubes of Winsor Newton 5ml watercolors and some how I bid on them- and then I guess I won the bid -and then I got all these tubes with 56 diffefent colors--for about 25 or 26 of the colors I got a single tube -for 24 of the colors I got two tubes -and for 6 colors I got three tubes -
but they are luscious and I have been experimenting see Brushy Creek #3 or4
And they were a great buy $107.00 which included shipping -

I am sorry to see your Beas disease has not been controlled. Are you going back IN, for more agressive treatment this time?
I had a surprise Beas breakdown. It was eBay too.
Colored Pencils. Derwent pencil sets where up and
I bid as a joke to myself and there was one Prismacolor.
38 in the Derwent, and 48 in Prismacolor. I havebeen reorganizing. Putting my supplies in order to use them all up. Take care let me know how the new treatment goes,
I am taking 2nd level cure.

Oh my GOSH! My first 6 5ml tubes of WN watercolors cost that much! Can't wait to see more of your beautiful watercolor paintings.
Your work is lovely....and this blog absolutely hilarious!! I didn't know it had a name, this BEAS thing.....I share the malady with you. And, I too succumbed to the very same auction of W & N 5ml water color tubes awhile back. I can't tell you that it will be the end....my collection of watercolors only started there. I have since added several more to the collection including a series of Daniel Smith metallic and iridescent watercolors.....have had to start a third tray of 24 to hold them all. Sigh......I share your pain. ;o)
LOL. Enjoy your relapse!
I've got it bad too. I just bought a bunch of hand dyed fabrics yesterday. I don't need fabrics. I have too much already and seldom use fabric anymore - but it was so pretty! Maybe the only cure is a fallen economy!
Simply ENJOY them!
I feel your pain. I am the same way. My husband says I have art supply tourettes.
Watercolors! Pencils! Paint Brushes! Paper! Pens!
ROTFL! That is like my disease of going into an office supply store and going to town.
Well... I can think of WORSE vices to have.

I think if you are HAPPY with your choice, and have no shame, regret or remorse, you aren't "in your disease."!! Love your floral from lasst time, too.
Kathleen I love your blog so much that I have given you the Brilliante Weblog Award. Please visit my blog to collect your award. You are talented and brilliant and yes I get BEAS Disease as well.

Absolutely hilarious!!! Lucky you!...I'm off to check out ebay immediately to see if there's anything left! :)
I suffer from the disease myself...so I totally understand.
Oh my gosh... my disease has a name!! Mine is BECS (buys excessive craft supplies) just today at Wal-mart... I purchased MORE scrapbook paper.. why? I have a ton! Some MORE stamp pads in colors I don't have... a Martha Stewart dual tipped pen... Why? I have no idea... maybe because it was only $1.88...
