What do any of you
: mobile artist use to carry your kit in? I have looked at tool boxes,
: vanity cases but they don't seem quite right.

Hi,
I've used lots of things and just this spring found my answer at KMart.
I bought a tackle box, its wide and opens on its side in 2 layers,
maybe 9inches by 20x 15 or so. The top layer is a clear blue lid and
lifts up to reveal compartmentalized sections perfect for alcohol
swabs, qtips, t-picks, nail polish (people look at my feet all day at
festivals, its good for them to be pretty) jaq bottles and tips,
scissors, tape, bubbles, bindi's etc. Under this section is another the
whole thing locks back together and then opens just below with a deep
bin 6 inches deep maybe for washcloths and replacements for the above,
my little jeweled containers and anything/everything else we might
need. This has been great because all the little things are together
AND organized so in a hurry when I have ten people waiting in the sun I
can just grab it OR my helper just pops open that lid- no more its in
this box or look there or here. I also have the big rubbermaid boxes
w/lids for drapery, pillows, notebooks for festival booth stuff.

Anyway, tackle boxes are the way to go, not as pretty as my picnic
baskets but stury and orderly.
