These are so cool! A great idea!

Nice work, I like them too!

I'm still using my first bottle of Levenger, the Cobalt Blue version.

Instead of a label they literally have gold etched onto the glass, so nothing will destroy it as happens with spills & snags on paper labels.

I didn't realize there's a dip well in the top portion, until I'd used at least 10% and finally saw it.

I like the Levenger bottles for that reason, plus the shape just makes perfect sense to me, being wider at the bottom and a large enough mouth to get any nib into.

 

I think one practical use for the icons would be changing computer folder icons when reviewing or using different inks and making scans, if nothing else.

That would make it easier to find individual ink types when scanning things written with that particular ink.

I have just one folder dedicated to ink reviews and scans, never occured to me an icon of each ink type would be ideal to find one at a glance.

I like to go back and look at old reviews when trying a new ink of similar color, so I can decide which I like better for future purchases.

Great idea, making icons.

Keep 'em coming, please!

They flow across paper as a brush to canvas, transforming my thoughts into words and my words into art.

There is nothing else like it; the art of writing and the painting of words!”

Diamine bottles would be great! I don't know how the ridges on the bottle would show up in an icon, though...

Thanks! As to use - I use them for some folders that I need to code with colours.

 

On a mac it's extremely easy to change icons so I have always been doing that and now I can remove the Winnie the Pooh set :-)

ohmygosh! i have the winnie the pooh icon set too!!!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
