Marker stand

A stand comprising:

• a plurality of cells, each cell having an outer wall, an inner wall, a bottom edge, and a top edge separated from the bottom edge by a height;
• wherein a perimeter of the outer wall comprises a first plurality of segments;
• and wherein the inner wall comprises a second plurality of segments, each segment in the second plurality of segments being substantially parallel to a corresponding segment in the first plurality of segments;
• wherein the plurality of cells are arranged such that the bottom edge of each cell is aligned to a bottom plane, such that the plurality of cells can be disposed on a flat surface, and wherein the plurality of cells are further arranged in at least a first row and a second row, wherein cells in the first row have a first height, and cells in the second row have a second height that is greater than the first height;
• wherein each cell is coupled to at least two adjacent cells with spacing connectors, the spacing connectors extending from the outer wall of the cell to outer walls of the at least two adjacent cells, such that a separation is maintained of at least about 10 mm between the outer wall of the cell and the outer walls of the at least two adjacent cells.

• wherein each segment in the second plurality of segments narrows from the top edge toward the bottom edge, such that the inner wall bounds a volume in the shape of an inverted pyramid or portion thereof;
• wherein the plurality of cells are arranged such that the bottom edge of each cell is aligned to a bottom plane, such that the plurality of cells can be disposed on a flat surface, and wherein the plurality of cells are further arranged in at least a first row and a second row, wherein cells in the first row have a first height, and cells in the second row have a second height that is greater than the first height;
