Patent ID: 7472450

Claim:
A multi-color faux art color palette comprising: (a) an integral substrate of a hard, but flexible, rubber having an upper and a bottom surface; (b) a handle integrally dependent from said bottom surface of said substrate; and (c) a plurality of pigment-absorbent planar sponges of different shapes having a planar upper surface, arranged in a selectable pattern to define a faux art effect of interest, one or more of said planar sponges having at least one edge of an irregular shape, said sponges made of a material different from said integral substrate, capable of retaining a substantial quantity of a pigment color selected from a plurality of pigments, each of said planar sponges having a bottom surface dependent from said upper surface of said substrate, in which all opposing edges of said planar sponges are separated from each other by a distance sufficient to preclude contact therebetween when said planar sponges, during use of said palette, are compressed against a planar surface.
