I love my pencil holder...
Everyone has a jar or mug of pens on their workbench, right? I used to hate mine. The pens got mixed with the pencils. The mechanical pencils got squashed and broken. Short pencils got lost at the bottom, and jammed up the others. If the jar was too big, the pencils fell over, and if the jar was too small, it got full and jammed.
Well, I visited an art shop a while back, and they had big holders for the pencils, and the holders were filled with rice! This is the perfect idea for the workshop. Now I have made a nice big pen holder, with plenty of room, and the pens stay right where I put them. I have unofficial sections for pencils, pens, and even tweezers, popsticks, craft knives, etc. Nothing falls over, and everything stays in it's section, even though there's no dividers or anything. Actually, the rice works best when it's one big container, without dividers between sections. The pencils I use most stay at the front, right where i can find them easily.
It's awesome. Everyone should make one of these. Rice is cool. :)
