I've mentioned this in a previous post so thought I'd explain what it is. Basically it's an old cosmetic case--probably a man's since it came with a suit brush and shoe polishing cloth. Fake alligator exterior, really disgusting taffeta interior. I ripped out the guts, cleaned and painted, then decoupaged (remember that from the 70s and wooden purses?) the exterior. I put some thin cork inside, decorative contact paper, and cork squares on the lid section for push pins. On the outside I also added a 'chalkboard' on the top just because. It's the perfect size for my small lightpad, some practice pads and sheets, corner punches, a light, ruler, nibs, colored pencils, nib holders and other things I like to have with me. The only drawback is the way it's carried, which doesn't lend itself to liquid items. Soooooo...I'm working on another cosmetic case that is a vintage woman's. Both have keys which will keep things from accidentally flying out. Will post pics of the second when I'm done.
