Fountain Pen Jewelry

Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I got super excited about this thing I made today:

Of course I could have made them without the silly faces, but that's no fun. I will probably have multiple versions of more plain (and less glittery) ink. I may even be able to write on a favorite color on the label.

 

I worked pretty hard on the teeny nib as well:

I even put ridges on the feed:

(like I said, I got too excited about it and I didn't let it dry before taking pictures, so I have to paint over it again in gold)

 

What do you guys think? I am thinking about making a charm bracelet with using a bunch of colors of droplets, or even some paper, some even resembling some well known brands like rhodia.

Jack of all trades, master of none. For now. Just give me a minute...

I think the ink pot looks a bit sad to have been spilled :lol:

 

Interesting idea anyway - how big are they? I can't get a sense of scale from the pics.

Lol, thank you!

 

They're not that big, really. The bottle is about 1cm tall x 1cm wide, the droplet is about 2cm tall and ..75cm wide, and the pen is roughly 4.5cm with the widest part of the nib at .4cm

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
