This was fun! You are a natural with videos. I’m so glad you liked the samples. The bottles were purchased at an auction from an old turkey farm. They were brand new so I knew they were safe to use for ink.

Great video, thank you for sharing. You asked about fountain turquoise. A lot of Birmingham pen company ibis are named after colors from Pittsburgh (where they are from). There is a huge fountain right on the "point" where the 3 rivers meet. I think that color is what the basin is painted to give the water a clean blue color. So fountain turquoise is that fountain's color.🐸

Totally fun i could watch ink swatching all day I find it very calming. 🐸

🐸 Thanks for sharing all these BPC swatches from this very generous gift, so helpful :) I recently got a couple of BPC samples from an ink swap and fell in love with grungy factor of some of the colors, I placed my first order or 5 inks with them last week so I am hoping to post a swatcing sesh soon too!

I love love love BPC inks!!! i feel the 100mL bottles are kinda overkill with the amount in them, hoping beyond hope that they eventually offer all the inks in the 30mL as well as the 100mL most are currently offered in. this would also allow the batches to be stretched further giving more people the opportunity to get the various inks. just my two cents lol. awesome video!!!!

Love the swatching! Thanks

Loved these so much! 🐸

The Teaberry, Sweetheart, Tesla Coil, Hope Pink and FROG are beautiful 😍😍😍🐸

🐸 What a generous gift! There were a lot of pretty colors in those swatches.

Loved these inks!! 🐸

🐸 so many fun inks!!!

🐸 is so cool!

You hit 1,000 subs! Congrats! Some interesting inks. Thanks!

I was swatching along with you some of my inks while watching this video, such fun! 🐸

The only BPC I have is Abandoned Shipyard. Imagine my surprise to find it shifts to brown in natural light outdoors! Tea berry Icecream is next on my list

🐸 Great Video! Love the colors. 😊

🐸I am loving the Sepia!!

I think BPC inks are well lubricated and some have surprising chromoshading or change color as they dry. Right after I submitted my comment you commented that Chysan Themum changed color as it dried. I am so jealous of this gift!

Several of my favorites fro BPC are Heron (a blue-green), Prickly Pear (a magenta -purple) and Emerald Fusion (a darkish green that sheens bright emerald green). They are generally known for their complicated murky colors. Of those that you swatched, I really like Eroded Bronze and Pennsylvania Slate, though they are similar.

How gorgeus is that ink🐸

🐸 What an fantastic assortment! MUST have is that Frog ink. The swatch did it for me, plus the Tesla Coil and Southern Portal. My 1st thought when I saw the Projector Film ink in your notebook was baby poop green 🤷🏽‍♀️ but the swatch at the end redeemed it for me. Who knows, might get that one too.

Oh how I wish I could get Birmingham Inks in Australia! Beautiful.

🐸 Ive really been loving Pelikan Rose Quartz. I’ll be curious to hear what you think after you’ve used it a bit. I’ve only used it with a titanium nib with and ebonite feed so I haven’t run into any issues with it feeling dry, but your comment about it being a little dry makes me want to try it in a different pen so I can get a better feel for it’s flow. I love how it shades though. I didn’t expect it to be such a pretty color when they first announced it and were showing teasers.

I need to practice with my Kakimori nib too. Or use it more to smooth out the edges because it seems scratchy if I try to use it for thinner writing/sampling.

What a lovely gift! I have yet to try any BPC - they don't ship to Canada :( From the ones you swatched I think my faves are Waterfront Dusk, Hot Rolled Steel, and Southern Portal. 🐸

I have recently tried the BPC Abandoned shipyard and Pennsylvania Fieldstone and I love both of these colors enough to have full bottles. They are a little dryer than most Diamine inks IMO, and am still testing them in different types of pens. Im hopeful for the brand though.

That’s how I thought of that nib too. Until I just heard you explain it. Mind blown

There are so many colors I have on my wish list from BPC. I have Pennsylvania Fieldstone and Terracotta so far. I love them both. I've had Pennsylvania Fieldstone inked in apen for over two months now lol Eroded bronze and Antique Sepia is on my list. 🐸

🐸 i love your videos

I wish that BPC did do samples... I just picked up a couple of bottles, but its gonna take me years to get through them... Maybe I'll start experimenting and mixing colors....Thanks for sharing! Loved the video🐸🐢

i purchased my first bottle of BPC last week and now just waiting for it to arrive. it was hard to decide on just one! 🐸

Great video 🐸

I love Robin's channel! Tesla Coil is s-t-u-n-n-i-n-g! 🐸

Wow! That was an amazing amount of very full samples! I have been looking at their Lichen. I'm mad at them right now because I fell in love with an ink sample, but the ink is not available! 🐸

I could be wrong, but maybe the mom’s name is Chysan, like Chris-Ann, and they made it a play in words? I have read that BPC is a family run business, so maybe it’s a possibility? I have yet to try any of Birmingham Pen Co. products; however, they are a local company to my home town so I will support their business the first chance I am able 😊. Love your content! Enjoy your new inks!!

Frog clogs pens I recommend just use dip pen only

That first ink really does look like teaberry ice cream. Where I'm from teaberry plants grow in the wild. 🐸

Ahhh you live in South LA? I’m in New Orleans! Agree re: storm water runoff. 😂

🐸🐸 And watch me buy a whole bunch if Birmingham Pen Company after this lol

🐸🐸🐸I really enjoyed this. I just wish there was a way to get BPC inks here in Australia 👎

🐸

🐸, but not the frog ink. 😛 Almost everything else though 👍💖

🐸🌱🌱Thank you. This was interesting. Love the ink play. Have you tried playing with water and inks for pattern formations? I am putting water, lines, and dots of ink on a page in my note books and then fold them to make nice flowing colors in the margins.
