If your home is any­thing like mine, you have a curi­ous cat that LOVES jump­ing on your desk and coun­ters and will gen­er­al­ly put her nose into any­thing you’re doing. It makes for an extra chal­lenge when you’re paint­ing. You might want to leave your pig­ments out… but not if lit­tle paws will be in them. This is just one of the rea­sons why I adore  paint palettes by Tra­mai Ceram­ics. Mari­na, the mak­er, cre­ates ani­mal-shaped palettes whose faces act as a cov­er for your paint–helping the pig­ment to stay wet­ter longer and also keep­ing it out of sight from pets and kids. Many of them even dou­ble as water bowls, too.

In addi­tion to ceram­ic palettes, Maria has brush rests, cal­lig­ra­phy kits, and dish­ware that are all shaped like ani­mals. Shop her Etsy to col­lect them all and have a menagerie in your home!
