...abused to make a watercolor box (well, if we're being generous with that term, anyway) from corrugated board, wire, duct tape, and a piece of string. Clearly, it's a masterpiece - even the "button" (generous with the term) is simply wire wrapped in duct tape! XDDD Duct tape is my friend!

But then, it's not supposed to be pretty. It's just that I had this dot palette (again, generous with the term: it's just a postcard-sized piece of paper with colors on it. Why use "real" palettes when there's a primitive solution that works just fine?) of Michael Harding watercolors lying around, and I wanted a way to store them so they don't catch dust. (They are excellent paints, but of the kind that re-wet very easily, so when they catch air humidity, the surface is always a tiny bit sticky. Leaving them on my desk without some kind of cover is not an option.) Here, you also have the unique chance (haha) to see how tidy I am while doing art.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with the cover of the box, though. I could leave it in "cardboard color", but also, I could draw something on it. Maybe with a silver acrylic pen included to match the duct tape? After all, color coordination is very important. ;) Any suggestions what to draw?
