Because of my love of Pocket Palettes, I have quite a few plastic pans of paint stored away that never get to come out to play. Recently I saw an Instagram post from “sketchbyfay” of her travel palette, with everything but the water container fitting in a simple metal pencil box.

I made a quick sketch of Fay’s kit to remind me to try putting together something similar. I just happened to have a similar pencil box and all those forsaken half pans of watercolor . . .
Now if I could just find where I packed that glossy white contact paper — it makes a simple adhesive mixing surface for inside the lid.
Wow! Vicky. I am so happy you were inspired to make one of these handy little palette kits. I have already taken mine on a short trip and found it very handy. Hope you enjoy your new kit!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Fay, for your constant inspiration! I follow you on Instagram and forgot about your blog — should have put a live link in my text.
DeleteI love the simplicity of having everything together. Brilliant!
I never would have thought of white glossy contact paper! That's a great idea. I really like your new palette kit!
ReplyDeleteI have some sheets of the paper around here somewhere, if only I could remember where! Only half-moving and not knowing where we’ll end up is maddening!
DeleteI added the paper to a metal travel box from Cheap Joe’s and it worked great.
