I could do that but several other sites have posted the same idea since then. Here is a link to a good one: http://www.instructables.com/id/Altoids-Tin-Pocket-Sized-Watercolor-Box/ It's fun to do and very pocket-sized. I actually made one similar to this out of wood for myself and that is what I use now. Take care and thanks for stopping by :-) Hi Johanna,

It’s fun to do and very pocket-sized.

I actually made one similar to this out of wood for myself and that is what I use now.

Take care and thanks for stopping by :-)

I found your site through sketchcrawl.com where you had posted about a tutorial for making a mini water color set - would you consider resposting that?

It's been a while since I've stopped by. If I remember right, you also live in Georgia. (I'm in Marietta.) I do love the new format. It's so clean and fresh. Perhaps one of these days we can have coffee and share our sketchbooks. ...dave So sorry to hear. It’s been a while since I’ve stopped by. If I remember right, you also live in Georgia.

Plus it's simply fun, and much like meditating. I will be keeping my images in a safe place electronically from here on out so I'm not affected so drastically by adverse events. Have fun sketching...start a blog and share your work ;-) Thanks for the comment Nick and for stopping by for a visit :-) Sketching will certainly get your “seeing” jumpstarted after you get in the groove of making it a habit.

I'm so sorry to hear that some mindless vermin destroyed your work. I hope you will keep offline copies of everything for this new version. I look forward to reading your blog and looking at your pics. I've just started sketching again as a way to retrain my eye for photography, I find myself looking but not seeing a bit too often these days.

I'm glad I inspired you and thank you for the kind words :-) I've gotta get my blogroll in order in the next day or so and I'll be sure to place you on it. Sketch your inspirations and post 'em in the mean time eh? ;-) Hi Sarah!

I so appreciate the kind words and thoughts. Ellie...Start anew with me! You have my full support and encouragement :-) Deb...you're so right...comfortable is a beautiful place to be and I'm getting there by and by :-) Sheri...You're sweet to offer scanning. I think for now though I will simply begin anew. Sometimes things are meant to be I suppose :-) I'll be doing some special things like postcards and such in the future though... Ellie, Deb, and Sheri…Thank You!

So good to hear from you! So sorry to hear about losing all your paintings and thoughts on your blog though. I would be happy to scan and email you the wonderful painting you did for me of the Continental Divide at Independent Pass, above Aspen, Colorado if you tell me where to send it. Maybe others would be willing to do the same? (You could open a new email account just to receive those.) A new beginning for you in so many ways...oh, the wonderful experiences that await you! I will look forward to seeing and hearing all about them! All the best, Sheri Hi Don!
