Be careful with old artist supplies (even crayons). Some of them can have dangerous ingredients. Lead, for example. The kinds of ingredients in some colours are unreal. Arsenic, mercury, chromium, radioactive materials... and then there are the morally objectionable ones, like 'Mummy Brown'- made from real, ground up mummies! Or Indian Yellow - made from the urine of cows only fed mango leaves and water, which slowly killed them. I'm sure there are more, but the point is; be cautious!

When I was a kid I had some little toy mice I loved to play with. I came to live with my dad when I was 12 I packed the mice up in the pocket of an old red plastic suitcase I had 3 of these suit cases When I got to my dads I couldn’t find the mice ! I looked for these mice for years ! My dad died when I was 29! I was cleaning out the attic of his house and I found a red plastic suit case I opened it up and the pocket looked fat but I knew not to get my hopes up. I opened it up and sure enough my mice were there just like I left them ! I still have them :)
