Watching your swatching video's is part of weekend routine. Birmingham Snowflake reminds me of Robert Oster Fire & Ice and Diamine blue polar glow or jack frost. These lean a little more blue than the green leaning Snowflake.
I really love BPC. I bought a bundle and it came with the Armadillo, copperhead, heron and kingfisher. I am really liking the basil pesto. That has been on my wish list for a while.
I really like watching you swatch inks and listening to you talk about them. You help me find new inks to try out. I like all the inks on the left side of your book, especially Copperhead and Armadillo.
Great variety of colors! Yeah....the snowflake was a head-scratcher for me too.😂 And yet, this emoji's snow 🌨️ is blue too lol! Maybe it's named after animated snow...?🤔
I’ve taken a snapshot of your page to add to my color swatch book. Even with “mistakes “ it’s very neat. The Jinhao colors were a surprise. The Vinta is a match with Conklin’s Limited Edition Israel 75.
That’s funny, I dont have a black or gray inked into a pen either. Those are for the days before fountain pens. Far far too many beautiful colors of ink to settle for a black or gray.
I don’t have any pinks in my collection but the Lamy looks nice. Any other pink recommendations that have sheen but aren’t too (your words) “punch you in the face?”
Lamy Vibrant Pink has a slight silver shimmer. Maybe it did not get into your sample. It's actually one of my favourite pink colours but I don't like the flow of this particular ink. It's not working out for me. I am looking for this pink shade in a better behaved ink.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I don't have Momiji, need to try it. Used De Atramentis Magnolia recently - close but not so saturated pink. Lovely flow though and really well behaved.
Laika was the first living thing in space. The Russians sent up a dog named Laika. Those Birmingham Pwn Co. are gorgeous
So many beautiful inks! Thanks for sharing. Birmingham Pen Co has a lot of nice, calm colours. I like that space dog Laika got an ink of her own!
Laika! rip
The Snowflake and the Blue Blood are really nice looking. I don't like pinks but I do appreciate the sheen on the Vibrant Pink.
Love those Birmingham Pen Co inks! They’re so good with shading and multi-shading inks. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching! And yes loving this brand more and more!
Does Freshwater Bog remind you of Iroshizuku Ajisai?
As a fellow muted ink lover and also someone who doesn’t reach for blues too often - can also recommend BPC eroded bronze!
I always love your swatching videos. As a newbie to fountain pens, you are so helpful!!!
I loved Copperhead. It really did look like the color of copper!

That is a great comparison!

Basil pesto is gorgeous - and it's so different!

Robert Oster Fire and Ice? Thanks, Karyna! My pleasure to share with you.

Pilot Iroshizuku Kosumosu is a lovely pink ink, and I also love J. Herbin Rouille d'Ancre!

Darn - maybe I didn't get any shimmer in my sample. Have you tried a Pilot Iroshizuku, possibly Momiji?

What type of ink do you use for the stamps? I recently got some stamps of ink bottles, and can't wait to sit down and do some swatching!!
VersaFine pigment ink in Onyx Black!
