I have a small Billy bookcase in my bedroom in which I kept my reference books; dictionaries, some anthologies, etc. However, I can't remember the last time I used a paper dictionary and the other reference books I haven't needed either.
This morning I put away those books, cleaned the shelves and turned into watercolour and sketching storages. On the top shelf I keep my watercolour sets and my pencil tins. The middle shelf is for paper; pads, sketchbooks and colouringbooks, and on the bottom shelf I keep books and miscellaneous items. My brushes are stored in a mug on a build in shelf next to the bookcase.
I've also secured my newest watercolour set, a Schmincke Horadam 48 half pan set, with a elastic band. When I was swatching the colours last week Maru kept wanting to lick the paints and since some of them contain metals I don't think that's a good idea. I think it must be the oxgall mixed in with the colours she's interested in. She can be very persistent when she wants something, hopefully the band will prevent her from opening the palette.
