: : Also I live off-campus and take the bus. Carting henna around is : kind : : of weird. : I've been trying to figure out an ergonomic design for a henna : workbasket - perhaps "workbucket" is more accurate in my case. (I'm : using a well-cleaned rectangular bucket that once held kitty litter -- : with the flat cover on, it makes a nice little table or stool.) So : far, I've just shoved everything inside, but am thinking I should make : dividers for the lower part (so the bulky things like paper and cotton : balls can have sufficient reserves), and a removable tray for the top, : for immediate stores (a few cotton balls, toothpicks, a pincushion, : etc.). Sure, maybe a fishing-tackle box would work, but I haven't : seen any cheap enough and still workable. : What qualities do y'all have in whatever you use as storage, : portable workspace, or a travel kit? I love organization and am a sucker for anything that helps me organize better. So, I use a tackle box like thing for my henna. It's an Art Bin, designed for art supplies and it was about $12 at the local art store. It is about 14 inches long, 5-6 inches wide and 8 inches deep. It has a main compartment and a tray with removable compartments that folds out. The bottom part is for big stuff like my supply of henna powder, my mortar and pestle, scissors, tape, candles etc. The top tray holds my bottles of henna paste, toothpicks, metal nibs, alcohol pads etc. I love my little case...I feel like a doctor making house calls with it. Paging Dr. Henna...we need 20 cc's of lemon juice stat!
