Hirst Arts Paintbrush Holder

Here is another paint brush holder I made with Hirst Arts blocks. It uses the 4" round fieldstone mold, and the inner dividers are made using the Wooden Plank mold.



Here is a picture of cast pieces ready for painting and a top down diagram for how they are arranged if you would like to recreate it.

HIrst Arts Mold Storage Boxes

I picked up a couple Iris Photo Boxes to store my Hirst Arts molds. I had them in a cardboard box, but I worried about them being stored in stacks. Each box has 16 cases which fits one regular mold, or two short molds (like floor tiles). Then I printed out some labels and taped them on.

Miniataire Paint Storage Shelf Sketch

I've already posted pictures of my rainbow scrapbook storage roller where I keep my paints. Unfortunately, my minitaire paint bottles are too tall to fit in the trays, and storing them on their side wastes a lot of space. I've designed some storage using Hirst Arts blocks to sit on top of my computer hutch so they will at least be within reach while I'm painting.

I sketched out the tray design. The middle drawer is slightly smaller to make sure it fits on the hutch.
Here are the drawers assembled with two primed. I'm starting with the drawers first and building outward to make sure everything fits together and has enough room for the paint bottles. I would hate to do all this work and have the trays fit the holder, but end up being too small.

Hirst Arts Pen Holder

I made several members of my gaming group pen and paintbrush cups out of hirst arts blocks. I customized them with some hand sculpted embellishments made with Das sculpting clay.

How to Bullet Journal an Adventure Path / Campaign

Note: This post contains spoilers for the Pathfinder Adventure Path #97-102: Hell's Rebels. If you plan to play that adventure, and want to be surprised don't read the written text in the photos.


Also If you've never heard of a bullet journal, take a moment and go check out bulletjournal.com.

Now that you're back, you need a a few things to make your own journal. A notebook, a writing implement, a straight edge (ruler or spine of a gaming book), and possibly something to make quick reference tabs. I used a regular college ruled composition notebook, and just looking through the ones that I own these seem to come with between 80 and 100 pages. I'm going to go through the pages in my bullet journal with you in order.

This is my AP bullet journal.
