This is so exciting! What a great haul. It’s very difficult to get BPC inks in Canada, but a pen friend gifted me with a ton of samples and I’ve been obsessed ever since! 🥹

I know and I cannot wait to get to it. Couple other things I’m working before I can get to it but my brain is chomping at the bit to get started. That Magma ink I’m gonna have to be careful with cause I don’t want it to overpower things when I mix with the others.

I know! I feel giddy like it's Christmas every time I open a box. Heehee. 1. You're right about the green. Guess that's why I couldn't describe it...was quite a bit liquidy. Mmmmmh... Think will ink up just to find out how it writes. 2. Scuttlebutt for a colour that beautiful seems so wrong 🤷🏽♀️ 3. Diamine Sepia comes off more caramelly to me, this one is so much more in the yellow/golden fam. 4/5 Monteverde FireOpal is a gorg colour too. 6. I am in love with that purple Huckleberry tho, Oooh! 🤭

I remember people saying, what’s the scuttlebutt meaning, what we say now, spill the tea. Meaning, tell me the gossip. I love the word magma, reminds me of the Austin Powers movie. I really like that Green but then I’m very partial to Green. And huckleberry reminds me of the cartoon huckleberry hound. Now I’m telling my age. It would be really interesting to see you compare, writers blood, and oxblood with the magma.

@@wildlyimaginable thank you for the link. Can’t wait to see what colours you produce. The cost per millilitre of the BPC inks is ridiculously low. So, 18 bottles cost MUCH less than the Canadian brand she and I love so much 👍🏼 If I can make a suggestion…get a bottle of their dilutant. Their inks are so saturated that you can create new colours simply by dilution. And don’t you adore the fountain pen paper clip they include? So cute 💕

Root Cellar made me think of root beer so I guessed brown. It's not the color I imagined but its beautiful! It's the one I'd put in a pen first. Molten Magma reminds me of Ancient Copper. I've come close to ordering from them but haven't yet. Beautiful colors, Grace! How's the move going?
