Description
This project emerged when my #100dayproject collided with a new/old delightful Cloverine tin flea market find! I put this alternative sketchbook together to always have watercolour paper on hand in my Sendak. The smallness makes painting ever-accessible, and the shape makes a good painting feel complete!
My friend Helen and I did a Tiny Tinned Treasures workshop and ramble on about the possibilities. You can find vintage tins all over – the perk of ours are the perfectly cut sheets of Arches Watercolour paper, but you can make your own and more!
Please note that these tins are vintage and may have varying levels of wear and minor rust.

- CECheryl E.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoA pocketful of possibilities
No matter where you are, there you are, drawing supplies always with you, representing blank pages of simple moments spent with pencil in hand. A rosary of sorts, tactile in nature, just waiting to capture appreciation for what the eye perceives, what the heart feels, or what the brain remembers. If you see this simply as an antique tin full of plain paper, this probably isn’t for you, But if you see it as the first step to a world of infinite art, then it will be money well spent. A pocketful of possibilities indeed.

I really love this idea and execution. The small surface limits my creativity in the best way - I can't get in my head or overthink. It fits great in my everyday bag, so it is there, even if I didn't plan on getting creative with that outing.
