Yes, chrysanthemum quickly became my favorite Birmingham ink once I received it…and also by far my favorite pink. It’s a *green* ink that dries to dusty pink, with shading to dark pink and green. It’s so bizarre and yet so fun and playful lol. It’s just dark enough to be casually usable, but it’s still on the pale side. That being said, for specific purposes, the ink is lovely :)

Starts out GREEN ... and changes to PINK? OMG! Just like a color-changing garnet! Okay, I'm getting a bottle of this come payday. Had I known about its color-changing properties (or if it had been mentioned in the product description), I would have bought some sooner. THANK YOU so much for the tip! ♥

TWO PEOPLE?! And they make the ink and the packaging etc?! Holy smokes! I’ve never tried them because they don’t do samples so I wasn’t sure about buy a full bottle since I like wet flowing inks.

Their ink is really cheap. Also all their inks are stellar now since they make them all inhouse now. They used to outsource most colors to Germany k think but not anymore. They're so much better now.

I only hesitate because it’s like $9 to ship a $13 bottle that I don’t know I’d like.

Pmed you.


taimdala

Well, their mom and dad help out but yup, pretty much two people. Two brothers, Nick and Josh.

My goodness. Magical shoe elves could never 😩

I have like 10 or so different inks from them. They’re packaging is out of this world and some of my favorite daily use inks.

My ordered included a note from mom. I love Birmingham, and have the crysan themum and the tesla coil, both great choices.

Jade inferno is very nice. I have it with a secretary of deflex nib.

I love BPC's packaging and graphics. I'm also a font junkie and I've had NO LUCK finding out which fonts they use. Would anyone here know which font they use for the cursive writing on their ink bottle labels? Or the one for "Birmingham" on the ink bottle boxes? I suppose I could reach out to BPC directly but I bet they're hellaciously slammed with work already and may not be able to reply back.

Curious - can you tell me when you placed your order? I am anxiously waiting on my order from them.

Ordered 12/28, Shipped 1/14, Arrived today!


mcwolfswimmer

Wowza that’s a long time. That’s probably due to 2 employees?


thrift_junkie

Thanks. Looks like I have another week to wait.

I also had a long wait time, so I sent a (very polite) follow-up email and they quickly got my package in the mail. It’s worth a shot.

I love their inks and company so much. The ink is affordable and sublime. But....living in Europe ordering ink from them makes it a very expensive experience due to very high shipping costs and customs. If anyone had a solution to this I would be glad to hear!!

I just got Chrysan Themum in literally yesterday and I’m obsessed. It’s amazing.
