Cut all the matchboxes on my Robo. Paper is actually a paper bag that something came in recently, but I can't remember from where. Labels printed on Safmat and little ruler stamp from 7 Gypsies 'Ephemera' set. The drawer handles are a size 3 seed bead with a brad in the middle, glued on.

Love that, Lorraine, especially the little balcony at the side for the tool!

Oh Lorraine that is superb! Cannot think of anything I would rather have than somewhere for all those bits of foam and I just LOVE the little holder for the sponge applicator. You are a clever little s-d arent you? I just love all your stuff ... right up my strasse.

Clever girl! It's smashing and a good idea for folk who have loads of the inks.

I've just bought the TH Cargo case for all my ink pads, pads and brushes, including space for the alcohol inks too but it is mighty heavy to cart about because it is all edged with quite hefty metal. This, of Lorraine's, is a far nicer idea for the pads!! I want one. NOW!

Glad you like it girls. Mr Green

I looked for the cargo case and the trinket one too Patty. Then...I flatly refused to pay the price.

I've got the TH square metal case for alcohol inks, and it's very nice, but
still need more space.

This is lovely Lorraine are the boxes the same size as normal match boxes?
Did you then glue them all together before covering them.
A very useful box indeed.

Pretty much the same size Cynthia. Yes, glued together and then some covered mountboard top, bottom, back and sides to strengthen it.

Totally agree with that Ruth.
I have a TH metal tin - I bought it yonks ago before he became quite so famous.
Don't know what it would cost now. It's for alcohol inks. I love it buy I wouldn't
want to pay current prices for such things now.
