I found this folding ruler among a friend's collectibles and it immediately took me back to my childhood.  My dad always had one of these in his tool box and I was allowed to open and close it as long as I was very careful not to bend it out of shape.  Although Dad was usually doing some carpentry project, this particular one says "Lufkin Rugged Brick Mason's" so I thought I should include a brick in the painting.

I saw this clever idea on Ebay where someone used a folding ruler to make a shabby chic star to hang on the wall... love repurposing old things.  :)
