Dry-brush texture palette

I made this quick dry-brush texture palette for a friend who's starting their painting journey with the Slap-Chop method. I made myself a similar one about a year ago but I forgot to post it here. It's a simple affair on an MDF base with leftover bits from my spares box and some junk from my 3-D printing 'broken bits' drawer. 

My first one had more 'stuff' and less brick and rock texture. I found the latter more useful in general so this one has about a 50/50 mix which I think will be ideal.

Before black-priming the whole thing, so you can better see the various 'junk' tossed onto the palette. These are surprisingly helpful to keep your dry-brushing from looking 'chalky'.
