Don't set your glass of lemonade too close to your container of turp. You'll inevitably take a drink from the wrong one. That once happened to someone I know. But not me, though. I would never (*hack*) do something (*choke*) that stupid (*spittle*)........

Richard, that's a good one, makes my little cut seem like a walk in the park! I choke along with you, yuk.

Julie, I used a glass palette years ago in college. We were told to put masking tape around the edges and in an X on the bottom. This saved me many times I'm sure.

I now have two german sheperds, and three cats. So far I've been lucky. One of my sheperds (Zoe) is a thief, she steals my pencils, pastels and brushes. I've learned to keep them out of her reach. Now she steals my clothing and shoes. She doesn't hurt anything, just does it for fun.

I can't afford an organizer for my pastels yet, so I use check register boxes filled with rice. The rice cushions and cleans them, and they stack easily.

[My cats like to eat my charcoals sticks. I find little remnants lying around if I don't put them away.

Don't wash your palette knives in the dishwasher! Don't leave them in the kitchen, for other people (husbands) may put them in the dishwasher.

I had a cat eat some Cad Orange one time. Must taste good. Another reason to keep small children out of the studio!
