Abstract: A drawing tool holder and organizer consists of a plurality of staged receptacles, a block of compressive material with partial slits, (26b) and a corresponding base plate (28). The plurality of staged receptacles are molded into the base plate for holding pointed instruments, point-down, with a shelf in each receptacle for holding the body of the instrument and protecting its tip. The volume of resilient compressive material has sufficient elasticity, when partially divided by slits, to releasably grip flat instruments. A decorative cover can be used for aesthetic considerations, attaching to base plate. The base plate can be mounted with adhesive, double-stick tape, clamping, etc.
