My New Gun Case Kit :E

I have researched kits and setups for a long time. I wanted something that I knew would take the awful drag out of lugging all that STUFF with me. I was tired of my collapsible wagon, scrapbook tote, over the shoulder bags and more trips to the car. I have seen many setups and cases but I wasn't feeling it. Then Tanya showed up on the scene, she was going through all the same things that I was. She had a wonderful plan and the results were awesome. I was inspired and this is what I came up with. Not as beautiful and creative as Tanya's, but I am happy with it. I would say it weights maybe 20 or so pounds.
First let me show & tell what I get to leave at home.



This is just some of the things that stay home now. The other things that I have done away with are; 2,  4 ft. tables, 2, art bins, 1 large brush stand, a collapsible wagon, 3 table clothes, 2 laptops cases and one large plastic container with more FP's. I cut back by re-potting a little paint in one (medium but on the small side for me) plastic container along with all my one-strokes.




This is the bottom layer of foam with some more FP and my Starblends.

Now top layer of foam.




I did not go with the brush case that took me a full day to make and re do and re do again, because I was worried that my brush bristles would touch the foam and the bristles would go astray. So, I tried something different after spending the day looking at other ways to attach the brushes. I wasn't sure about this because I don't want to be cleaning my case lid a thousand times a gig. Then, I would rather do that than take a chance of ruining my brushes. I knew the art bins had to stay home. I was tried of taking all the brushes out then lining them up in the brush stand. Too much time wasted! It seemed like I was doing a lot of wasting time by hauling too much stuff and setting it up, breaking it down and many trips to the car, FED UP and tired of that!
I still have a few tweaks to make. I need to put a hook on the opposite side of my case to tie the ribbon tight that will hold my brushes extra secure. I don't think it will need the ribbon but just in case. I also need to attach the glitter to something? I might glue some round Velcro holders in place. I will be finding new cases that will fit in the open end better than I have now. I also need to cut a piece of foam for the gems in the right hand corner of foam. I thought about cutting spaces for my liquid bling but I want to be able to hang them upside down when I work. I am happy and so grateful for Tanya's awesome ideas. What an inspiration. Thank you Tanya!!!

   Home run!! Awesome job, I'm glad my bang-the-head-against-the-wall project gave you some inspiration!! Love the dog in the photo... my two always photobomb

Yes she wanted me off of that chair and down on the floor at her level. I am so grateful for your wonderful photos and all the details that you listed. It was a hard job but I am so happy that it is finished. Now I just have to glue the Velcro strips. It's not too heavy and it can handle some more paint. I had to take a few days off because I was obsessed on this project and needed to clear my head. Once again thank you.
