My one nephew loves to draw and paint, so I was looking for fabric with artist brushes, an artist's palate, artist paints - something like this that would be "him". I'm wondering if I may have to go with something like you mentioned though if I don't find something soon. The JoAnn's near me had NOTHING like it though - but hopefully I can spend some time driving further to look. Or online if anyone happens to know of somewhere - I've searched everywhere I can think though.
