12 Days of Inkmas: De Atramentis Pigeon Blue
On the last day of Inkmas, my true pen was inked with De Atramentis Pigeon Blue! Not as romantic as a partridge in a pear tree but its my favorite ink (at the moment) so I thought it was worthy of being the last ink of the first annual Inkmas. Initially, I ordered a sample…
