and just look how amazing this old watercolour chart is..when i saw this at spitalfields antiques market it was mine even before i asked how much..its currently lent up against a wall...and there it might stay for a long time...instant art..and that is what I'm gonna do with the paint tin..i intend to use the lid and hang it on a wall..
but before i throw away the used paints..i think i want to use them to paint my own picture...and i think I'm gonna use the watercolour chart as inspiration...i want to make a grid of squares and i will paint each one with whatever colour comes from each used paint block...i will blog about this when i do it...don't you think that's a nice idea..?..i do..
so someone else's rubbish really will be my gold...if you know what i mean.

I LOVE the tin those watercolours are in! I wish I still had that kind of thing from when I was a kid, but alas, my mum used to cull our bedrooms with brutal regularity, & gone are my original 1970s Blythe doll, my Bionic Woman lunchbox with matching flask, & my treasured Etchasketch.
BTW...thank you for taking such an interest in my Paper Chase! :)
I love that post, you are not alone. I've acquired many a item that my family questions my sanity on a daily basis. The watercolors are beyond lovely & a great find.
What fabulous finds! WOW!~~XXOO, Beth
That is a nice idea and I do know what you mean. I look forward to seeing your old paint painting!
