Organizing nibs

I suppose it becomes necessary after a while to figure out some way to organize the nib collection.  Since I don't like things that only have one purpose I decided that my organization should be small enough for easy storage and portable.  It's a nightmare being without them right?  
So, depending on how many you have and wish to store, you have a couple of options.   Take a look at the storage containers for jewelry, beads, or even needlepoint/crewel threads.  These are generally flat containers with many small compartments.  Perfect for nibs.  

I opted for some of the smaller containers found in the beading department of my local craft store.   After taking an inventory of what I had, I used a large index card with a crudely drawn mockup of the compartments to list each nib.   Apply a bit of two-way glue to the lid and allow to dry.  This will enable me to remove the paper later if I need to make changes.   (when two-way glue dries before another surface is applied, it acts like the sticky on post-it notes) 
So that's my solution, hope it helps.

Calligraphy suitcase

I've mentioned this in a previous post so thought I'd explain what it is.  Basically it's an old cosmetic case--probably a man's since it came with a suit brush and shoe polishing cloth.   Fake alligator exterior, really disgusting taffeta interior.  I ripped out the guts, cleaned and painted, then decoupaged (remember that from the 70s and wooden purses?) the exterior.  I put some thin cork inside, decorative contact paper, and cork squares on the lid section for push pins.  On the outside I also added a 'chalkboard' on the top just because.  It's the perfect size for my small lightpad, some practice pads and sheets, corner punches, a light, ruler, nibs, colored pencils, nib holders and other things I like to have with me.   The only drawback is the way it's carried, which doesn't lend itself to liquid items.  Soooooo...I'm working on another cosmetic case that is a vintage woman's.  Both have keys which will keep things from accidentally flying out.  Will post pics of the second when I'm done.
