Before we talk about how I feel about this ink I want to go through some information.

I am very happy to be here and share another release from Ferris Wheel Press, it have become a favorite brand of mine and I am happy I was able to be part of the team and share this awesome inks with you all!

I recently received this new Calligraphy ink (that is not meant for Fountain Pens) to use with dip pens or brushes. There is 4 colors in this collection.

With their soon to be release Carousel Inkwell and the Gumdrop glass dip pen, this inks came in at a perfect timing. I do like the choice of color they selected for this release.

By the way guys, the Carousel Inkwell and Gumdrop Glass dip pen will be available to purchase through Kickstart, I will be making a post soon with pictures and videos before May 9, which is the date this will be available for purchase. More details here

Notable design details:
Capture the delicate essence of love in full bloom. Embrace the beauty of our vintage-inspired dusty rose calligraphy ink.

Pattern inspired by vintage 1930s floral wallpaper This nostalgic ink colour pays homage to one of our most popular inks ever, Lady Rose, a familiar hue in a new medium!

This bashful crocodile dons a stylish ensemble from the 1930s; a statement slinky dress punctuated by a classic fascinator hat.

It can be compare to Lady Rose Ink, I don’t own this ink so I am not able to give you any information on this but you can look it up online and might even be available for purchase.

I do own The Fluttering Heart, a limited edition by Ferris Wheel Press and here is a side by side comparison.

Sweetbriar Rose is a more opaque ink, like a vintage pink while the Fluttering Heart is more light pink with gold shimmer!

This is the thickest calligraphy ink that I own and I do like that with one dip I can write quiet a lot before running out of ink.

I am not an expert but I can only tell you my experience and I feel that this ink have a thick consistency, which online it says is a waterproof acrylic ink. I made a little water test, I prayed some water, I dab a paper towel and in the third picture I rubbed the same paper towel.

Definitely waterproof and smudge resistant. Looks no different, I honestly am a little sad I didn’t picked up the other colors in the collection haha!

Is an opaque ink, in their website it says that is formulated for legibility on black stock, I haven’t tried that but I can’t wait to see how it comes out!

Here is a picture showing the silicon stopper, excused the messy look, but I think this is an awesome idea, I haven’t seen any dryness in the bottle or around, consistency is always the same.

The only problem I experience was cleaning the nib, the ink dried quickly and it took a while to remove. It could have been my nib, I am not sure, I did used my glass dip pen and it was easy write with and clean. I would have to do some research on that.

I will leave you with a video here with writing samples.

I hope you enjoyed this first impression/review, I am excited to see what is next with Ferris Wheel Press and their new Kickstarted Carousel Inkwell.
