I've got a stack of clear CD protective blanks, and use these both as palettes and for chopping up into random armour-plates

As they are clear, you can turn them over (when dry!) and look at he pretty patterns !

I use the blister plastic, it's not a perfect shape so it tips up a lot, but reusing them saves throwing them away. Recycle! The possibilities are endless!

I use a tile and those cheap acrylic paints from the craft stores. For details and 'important stuff,' I use Vallejo on the tile mixed with a little water.

I am an ancient Chinese Grandmother, and my Granddaughter will have fond
memories of bearing the ceramic family heirloom to my paint table everyday. It has passed
through the generations, from the times when our honored ancestors once served the Emperor's
own miniature army artist, when they hand brushed the forces that he would marshal
well into the afterlife.

I continue the tradition today, though not for the Emperor as he was, but in preparation for the Emperor
who will be. For when he comes, he will raise the family ceramic dish to his blessed lips, and
all my hard work will be paid off as the soldiers I've painted using that dish will awaken and
defend his soul from the demons who would wrest it from his sleeping body.

I use a tile as well as the tops of the GW paint pots, as you can simply peel the dried paint off of the top afterwards.
