Today's featured newest pen-related acquisition is another clever repurposing idea courtesy of new VPC member Kevin...
Kevin: "Having been encouraged by my tidying up of 5ml sample tubes into a shotgun shell box, I began feeling more and more uneasy about my chaotic and growing collection of 10ml Herbin bottles. Surely there was something similar I could find to keep them all tidy and well-ordered.
A completely un-related trip to the fridge for liquid refreshment of the brewed variety brought me to eye-level contact with a roll of 35mm black and white film patiently waiting for its day in the limelight. Or any light for that matter"

"As is so often the case in these idle moments when one’s mind has been primed to think creatively and then presented with a random stimulus, I was taken by the fact that a roll of 35mm film is almost exactly the same dimensions as a 10ml bottle of J. Herbin ink."
"A few minutes later and AliExpress was offering me a plethora of options for storing film. Admittedly, the one I chose is at the lower end of the spectrum and quite literally comes with an elastic band as its securing method. But then… it only cost $6.50 including shipping."
Many thanks to Kevin for sharing his new ink storage idea with us!
