PROJECT #2406_
Skill Level: Intermediate
Time: 3 Days
Cost: $35
I was asked by a friend to design a box to hold a bottle of ink and two fountain pens. These days while inkjets and lasers spew out dozens of pages per minute and keyboards are so heavily relied upon to express thought, it may seem unusual that someone might savor the smooth flow of letters from mind, to hand and thence to page, but there are those (thankfully) in the world of a more sensitive type.
Designing the Box
The first part of designing this box was to settle on the design of the ink bottle. They come in odd shapes and sizes, so there’s no way a box like this can be made to fit all. But a carefully chosen bottle can be refilled with the ink of choice. I chose a nice square glass bottle of ink and designed the box around it, knowing that a good bottle can be refilled with fresh ink for generations to come.
