It was a Romney, and has WEEEEE pans, smaller than half.

I'm giving Jacqueline's idea a run to see what I can do with it. <br /><br />Come on in, Marisa! I hate to admit it, but I'm the same way when I go into an art store though I have been "better" lately about just getting what I need. Of course, when I don't get something, I feel like a kid who didn't get their toy!

Good luck on your project, Lynn!<br /><br />Hey, Kate, I do arrange the palette(s) in a similar order or I'd really make a mess! But I just don't seem to ever use the "exotics" so this is my attempt to get them into use.<br /><br />Hi, Sara! I'm wondering if we need to start a support group! Looks like you and I have quite a bit of company!<br /><br />Vicky, I can't say I'm surprised! It seems to go hand in glove with artistic personalities.<br /><br />Oh, Brigitte, I do hope you'll join us out here in the wild—just be warned, color is highly addictive!<br /><br />Randi—get those paints out and get busy!!<br /><br />Thank you, Diana!<br /><br />I hear you, Lisa!

I just came from the garage where I was going through my fabric stash. Do I have a hundred years of art making materials out there, quite possibly. But could I find what I needed for this current project? Not sure. Brought something in but will it work? Remains to be seen. All that and yet not the perfect color, size, fit????
