On
our recent trip to Fredericksburg, I purchased a tiny mint tin because
it reminded me of a friend and co-worker who portrayed Rosie the Riveter
in historic presentations. Teresa's aunt had actually been a riveter
during World War II, and much of the material was based on her memories.
And now the tin has been turned into a wee paint box. I tested my color
choices on this page.
A silicon mini ice cube tray
from Amazon was cut up to fit the tin with 9 spaces for tube paint to
be squeezed into. While I was at it, I cut another to fit the Texas mint
tin I purchased when we were planning to move to Texas. Formerly it
held 6 half-pans of paint; now it can hold 12 colors plus a bit of a
natural sponge.
The bare minimum of tools to take along with me . . . one of these tiny tins, a fountain pen, a waterbrush, and my journal.
love this tiny kit!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to use! And being magnetic, I could attach it to a wrist cuff or rolled up sock with a magnet.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! Fun wee kits...
DeleteNot so good for large painting, but lots of fun to take along in my pocket!
