Jimmie here are a few shots of my case. I honestly can't remember what it would have been called, either an attache or lap top case. But it is a metal which is sturdy and not too heavy. It is also nicely padded.

Mercedes and Moe wanted to say hello too!

Jimmie -

How do you come up with these wonderfully original compositions?
Nice work!

[Gary Hoff]

Compelling work, Jimmie. Good to see something new.

Thanks Beth for the pics. The box looks very small, how many pieces will that hold and what brand of pastels do you stick in there? When i stack my boxes together, it's about 2 feet tall, and that's not all of them.

Thanks Julie, but I really don't know. It usually just hits me after staring at for a while. I usually stay pretty simple. Design, background, and color are weak points for me.

Thanks Gary, very appreciated.

Jimmie I have never counted but I use various brands, the largest being Unison. It doesn't hold as many as you mention, but that's way too many to be traveling with anyway. I always pick a palette of what I am working on and through them in tupperware lined with a 1/2" of corn meal.

Less is more...

Less is more...

I've heard that statement plenty of times, but with my sense of color, I need as many as possible. I don't want to settle on a color becuase I don't have the right one with me.

Working on this one, I had a color in mind to use in the background, but wasn't happy with the choices I had. I waited until I got home to finish it, because I knew I had the color I wanted in the set of Doaks that I did'nt take with me, and it worked perfect (or close to perfect).

The more the merrier... (not people, just pastels)

Thanks again Beth!
