First impressions of Birmingham Pen Company inks! I must have been sleeping under a rock not to have tried these inks before, but let me just say they are GORGEOUS. I'm super excited to try more of them :)
These inks were kindly sent to me from Priscilla ‪@Adventuresover40‬ and I am beyond grateful. Thank you so much for such a generous bunch of ink samples!

WOW! Such beautiful inks!! I love the terra-cotta and the Armadillo the best. Although I am partial to oink and purple inks all of the time. I really want to order from Birmingham Pen Company because they have such beautiful inks! Thank you for sampling some of their inks. You have opened up my world to so many more inks and I love that!❤

Fellow Texan here! Howdy. I have yet to see a purple armadillo either, but that copperhead is lovely and I never thought I’d like a snake. 😂 The Pennsylvania swatch reminds me of Sailor Seki that I have. It’s gray and shades purple-pink. These are all beautiful swatches.

@mydandeliondiaries 2 ай бұрын

That is an interesting comparison! I will have to look at those now. I think the Penn Fieldstone might be a bit darker though.

Really all of these inks are gorgeous! I never thought I would say I love Armadillo, but in this ink form, I absolutely adore it! And, even though it looks nothing like terracotta clay to me either, I think it's such a beautiful, dusty, delicate pink. I also adore Sandstone, but I don't think it's full bottle worthy for me at the moment. I have to go with Armadillo. Crown chakra trying to tell me something? Hmmmm... Thank you so much! this video is perfection1 Lisa

I have had these in several different pens and nib sizes and they have performed beautifully in all of them. I had Twilight inked in my Esterbrook Esti Punch. Loved that combo. I just inked up Sandstone to add to my December line up. Butchers broom was so wonderful to write with in November as well as Ambered Adobe. Butchers Broom reminds me of Robert Oster Muddy Dragon as well. I am so happy you like them and can't wait to hear how you feel about them in a pen.

im living vicariously through these (BPC dont ship internationally) these colours are all so complex and beautiful! sandstone and field stone are maybe my favourite ?? its hard to pick!

It is so hard to choose a favorite! I hope BPC can get to a point where they ship internationally soon 💝

I hope you enjoy these inks. I am using the Twinkle formula and love it, unfortunately we cannot get these in UK so it is a case of getting samples from those who travel.

Thank you for sharing!! I want to try their shimmery inks at some point. Good to know that they aren't available everywhere. Hopefully if their brand grows they can reach more places :)

❤ Birmingham Pen Company inks are the most beautiful inks I have seen since I began my fountain pen journey just a few ago. I love that they are hand crafted in the United States and I think they are made with so much love and care. ❤ I think I am going to purchase a bottle of Sugar Kelp because I have been obsessed with finding a dupe of Krishna's Cassia Flora ever since Liane did a swatch video of Krishna inks that she was given in inky mail. If you have any suggestions for a Cassia Flora dupe, please share! Thank you so much! I love your swatching videos so much! Lisa

@mydandeliondiaries 4 ай бұрын

I would love to know a dupe as well. I haven't tried Cassia Flora by Krishna so I don't really have anything to compare. But Sugar Kelp looks so interesting!

I can't help but think that maybe the Pennsylvania Fieldstone and Armadillo are incorrectly labeled. I have both of those colors and on the screen your Armadillo looks like my PA Fieldstone and your PA Fieldstone looks like my Armadillo - I'd describe Armadillo as a gray with purple undertones. Regardless, they are both very smooth and wonderful to write with. I just love BPC inks.

I don't think so, it could be the paper I used! Sometimes the Tomoe River Paper makes inks look different than on Rhodia or Midori paper. I find that paper makes a HUGE difference in color pay off. I prefer TRP though :)
