Aug31Art

Ron had to work today, so I finished loading up my old Conte Crayon box with paints and completed my color chart.  Then when I cut out my carefully measured chart I found out it was 1/8 inch too big, no way for me to cut it any closer... so I guess I make another or make do with this one that is too big for a while.
I really like this box, I've had it empty for years, finally repurposed it as a watercolor palette.

It holds 56 colors with room for a few travel brush, maybe a sponge.... and all those yummy colors.

    Your chart is a work of art in itself and what a lovely box too

    Did you attach the pans to the box in any way?

    Yes Lori, i stick down all my pans with 'DUCK' Poster putty, it is also sometimes called 'Blue Tack' because it is blue, find it at office supply stores and where teachers buy school supplies… it will hold the pan, but is not 'permanent', so the pan can be removed without too much trouble.
