Homemade ink blending tool storage-updated photo

Cheers

Hi! I don't know if you are still on here or not. If you are I have a question for you. Do you reuse the foam piece each time you use that same color? I see you have a zillion wooden handles. Did you make them or buy them? Thank you.

Homemade ink blending tool storage-updated photo

I needed some type of storage for my ink blending tools and I wasn´t to keen on another carousel so I made one myself.

I took a crossbar and cut it in the same length as my picture rails that I have on the wall above. I drilled holes in it and put small blocks in each end so the tools can hang freely. I don´t have that many tools to cover it, but I thought I might as well do a large one so I´m covered if I buy more.

I´ve used a markup machine to mark what tools I use to which colours.

I used tons of alcohol ink to give it a warm touch, but I might as well have used ordinary cheep stain.
