Laura’s Perspective: Recently, Ana introduced me to the Birmingham Pen Company and their own line of inksĀ ($7.99 per 30ml).

Ink Review: Colorverse Andromeda & Red Shift
I admit it. I made you wait for this review. I couldn’t help myself. I was saving these for the end of the the Series One and Two colors (that I currently own — but I’m headed to Little Rock and will be attempting to replenish my stock. I made Lisa promise not to sell…
