Looking at my A1 drawing board and self-healing cutting mat, which I use together to make a small folding table become big enough for sewing at, and wondering whether an art portfolio case for those and my A2 cutting mat would be better than just having them wedged between my chair and my bed. Do sturdy portfolio cases come in nice colours?

@artbyailbhe When I was in the market for one, the choice was either black leatherette, or cardboard with a rather half-hearted marbled effect...!
@virtuosew I have some sage green upholstery fabric I could use if I can find a stiffener, but buying something ready made would be easier. If they're not all ugly.
@artbyailbhe Exactly. My Mam and I made one for my Amarna paintings, but the card isn't strong enough and the sides have warped!
@virtuosew mostly this will have something rigid in it anyway, but the cutting mats should be supported really
@artbyailbhe Yes, I used to have a big one, and it developed cracks through lack of support!
@virtuosew "store flat", they say, as though we have random spare A1 sized surfaces in the house.
@artbyailbhe Just so. Especially if the wretched thing is to be accessible enough to be used!
