Toolboxes and the Women Who Love Them

It's always intriguing to see the tool boxes that are brought to our monthly meetings. They are as individual as our members and anyone looking at them knows that there are artists at work in this room.

  1. After seeing so many boxes with everything in order, I cannot possibly show the chaotic way of keep my stuff. I have had the same small toolbox forever. I also have an old toolbox I bought at the Blue Lake Emporium years ago. It is a vintage piece, not suitable for going anywhere. I find shoe boxes quite useful to store material that belongs together (fabric scraps, stamping pads, acrylic colors for paste paper, etc.). I also have a large half clamshell box I made for my rubber stamps. Pretty but not very portable.

  2. I bought my favorite toolbox at a thrift shop at the Newport Paper Arts Festival. It is a repurposed cosmetic case! I paid $12 for it. It's the fifth one from the bottom in the photos above. It only stores pencils, pens, and markers. I also love shoeboxes! Shoes too.
