Ferris Wheel Press Cabernet on the Lake & Brilliant Beanstalk Ink and Fountain Pen 🖋️

Hey guys, I hope you all having a great start of the week! I just received the new Ferris Wheel Press Inks and Fountain Pen and I wanted to make a quick unboxing, thoughts post on this new release!

I get excited for every release and this one is another one of my favorite, the packaging design is very nice, creative! When I saw this release I was very happy and everything just looks so much better in person.

I will first leave a little information about our first ink, Brilliant Beanstalk and some ink samples. I will also leave a little video unboxing/swatch video below. Let know what you think.

Brilliant Beanstalk

FWP Brilliant Beanstalk Ink Inspiration:
In an enchanted realm, where giants roam and mystical beanstalks reach for the heavens, join Princess Patch as she embarks on a perilous journey to procure the shimmering golden champagne egg from the clutches of a slumbering giant. Whether weaving tales of daring escapades or exploring the boundless realms of imagination, let Brilliant Beanstalk sprout the tone for your enchanting odyssey into a world where dreams take flight.

This packaging is so pretty. That chicken in the vines is so cute, is one of my favorite little creature in this design. All around the box there is so many cute creatures and vines, is very pretty! (There is a video below, where I do the unboxing, check it out)

This is a gorgeous green ink with champagne shimmer. It also have high shading,

Brilliant Beanstalk reminds me of ‘The Princess and the Frog’ which is funny because in the description it says about joining Princess Patch embark on a journey 💚

I will leave you here a little Unboxing of the new inks and pen, some swatches and writing samples. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Cabernet On The Lake

FWP Cabernet On The Lake Ink Inspiration:
Pack your favourite hand-knit blanket and accompany Bearnice the Bear on a delightful frolic through the picturesque vineyards of the Niagara wine region, where rolling hills and lush vineyards beckon. Embark on a journey of discovery through scenic greenscapes while exploring internationally recognized vineyards of this region. Indulge in the nectar of Niagara with this burgundy ink that captures the feeling of joyous laughter, shared stories, and cherished memories.

I am in awe with this Cabernet on the Lake ink, I did enjoy this ink a lot more than I though.

First this box is very pretty, I am a fan of crochet and knit products but mostly crochet and I love the crochet touches in this art and the crochet hook, very nice!

I wasn’t sure about this ink. I get pretty bored with red inks but Song of Scarlet and this one (Cabernet on the Lake) are pretty fun inks to write with. The characteristic for this ink are Warming, velvety, romantic, cosy.

I feel that velvety is a good way to describe this ink, this ink checks all that and we are getting into the Autumn and Winter season soon, this ink is a great color if you like to match your inks with your months/season. I do enjoy matching my inks with my months, seasons or holidays but is not like I do this constantly. Sometimes when I like an ink so much I don’t care what month or season it is, or how many times I have used them already!

I am so lucky to have received a Carousel fountain pen, my experience with them have been great. I had/have shimmery inks for a month and would write perfectly when you uncap it.

Sometimes I wish it had a clip or a removable one but is not something I care that much about since most times I carry a pencil case or a stationery bag.

I am very excited with my new inks, they remind me of christmas, they are great inks for this holidays. Specially the Cabernet On The Lake, with that gorgeous shimmer! Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of my favorite holidays, there is cheer and joy and this ink will fit in perfectly.

Also I want to add that Brilliant Beanstalk doesn’t take a long time to dry. Pretty impressive for Tomoe River Paper and for a person like me that is a lefty I tend to brush my hand on wet ink a lot haha!

Thank you kindly Ferris Wheel Press for sending this inks and fountain pen for me to try!

I hope you guys enjoyed this little “Unboxing” video and just some comments and thoughts about this ink.

Ink will be available for purchase in September 1st. I am happy that this post is up before the release so that you guys have the chance to get your hands on one of this inks and/or fountain pen or all of it haha

Ferris Wheel Press The Fluttering Heart

Hey guys, today I have a little review/first impression of Ferris Wheel Press new ink The Fluttering Heart.

“Celebrate the return of extraordinary love with our 2023 Limited Edition ink.”
“Visually inspired by iconic high jewellery collections; motifs from the Strathmore Rose Tiara, Fife Tiara, Princess Grace’s Engagement ring, and cues from vintage Van Cleef & Arpels pieces are beautifully woven into the ornate pattern.”

Ferris Wheel Press The Fluttering Heart 38ml

Here in the packaging shows more of what this ink is about. I like the details in the background, the diamonds, the butterflies, it give me tiara vibe. I wasn’t a fan of pink until last year where I found myself using pink in my journals and planners. I have come to appreciate certain pink shades and this soft muted pink is very pretty.

Very nice details, like always, Ferris Wheel Press and their product presentation always on point.

“…we’ve created an endearing blush toned ink with a scintillating metallic champagne sparkle to represent the return of gathering, community, events, and the celebration of love.”
Ferris Wheel Press The Fluttering Heart (brush ink swatch)

This ink is definitely beautiful, I find myself looking at my writing samples of this ink. I would like to mention that for this ink swatch I did pass my brush two times. It turns into a beautiful mauvy pink on the second swatch . The metallic in this ink is perfect, I wouldn’t want more than that, in some angles it looks like a pearlescent mauve, I like that..

Swatching Video

Took about 18 to 20 minute for this to try. When using a brush with the amount of ink I used, is understandable it will take more time than using a fountain pen.

I love the process of drying, I was watching a show while waiting for this to dry naturally. As you can see there is a different in the ink bottle and the swatch underneath.

Ferris Wheel Press The Fluttering Heart (ink swatch)

I felt that for me when using this ink, it came out light but after it dries it looks slightly darker-ish.

The ink swatch in the bottle (^) is a more accurate color of what you are going to get when using a fountain pen or maybe even a bit brighter.

Tools Used:
Brush
Glass dip pen
1.1 stub nib
on a Tomoe River Paper.

So final thoughts! This ink is a nice medium bright tone of pink, drying time with a fountain pen stub nib is around 2 to 3 min, it really depends. I never had a drying problem with Ferris Wheel Press Inks.
I am a lefty, I take a bit of time before going back into my writing if I feel that my hands will be in the way and it will smear on the page.

With the description giving to this ink and the performance of this ink, it gives a luxurious look to it.
I can’t really afford a luxurious ring, necklace or tiara but this ink is all the jewelry I need haha

So thank you Ferris Wheel Press for this gorgeous ink, can’t wait to see what else you guys got in storege for us.

This ink will be available for purchase on March 3rd, 2023.

Ferris Wheel Press – Cloak and Forest

The flutter of a red cloak and the soft padding of feet on a mossy floor can be heard as Little Red rushes through a dimly lit forest on her way to grandmother’s house. Forest residents chatter from their humble abodes, warning her of the peeping Big Bad Wolf lurking in the shadows, but fear not! The silvery light of the sun peeks through the lush canopies of the wizened trees, lighting her way, giving her the hope and courage needed to continue her daring journey.

Hello guys, I hope you are all doing fantastic, today I have a little review. I recently received Cloak and Forest from Ferris Wheel Press and I been very excited to share this new ink.

I am a huge fan of green inks well green in general and when I noticed that this ink had green as a base, red as a sheen and silver as shimmer I was very intrigued and I just needed to know how this ink reacts.

Ink information (Do you see the Big Bad Wolf creeping?)

I love Ferris Wheel Press packaging, it always have beautiful illustrations and every single box is unique with illustration made for for each ink. Most time I don’t really pay attention to packaging but it means a lot that Ferris Wheel Press takes the effort to present their products in such beautiful way. I appreciate that they care about how their products look not just how it performs.

This box have little creatures , I even spotted Ferris Wheel Press ink bottles in a corner and did you see it? Look at the first picture, there is something there o_o!

Ferris Wheel Press Cloak and Forest Ink Swatch with a brush

I don’t know about you guys but I always get so impressed when I see an ink dried, is like I don’t know exactly what I am getting until I put it on paper. Sometimes online picture doesn’t do it justice, this color is gorgeous, I made sure to shake the bottle very well to get a good look at this ink.

Ferris Wheel Press Cloak and Forest (Glass Pen)

Is like a mixture of light of hope and green with red just peeking through, I used a glass dip pen for this writing sample and you can see all that silver shimmer everywhere and that red sheen. Is a fun ink to write with, you can definitely see more of this ink when the light hits.

I also noticed that you can get this ink with low shimmer if you don’t shake the bottle before inking your pen.

Ferris Wheel Press Cloak and Forest (BB nib)

You can still see that red sheen and might get some shimmer in your writing but is not as much if you shake the bottle. I honestly like it, you have options and not going to lie this ink looks super nice without the shimmer too.

But the shimmer makes this ink unique so I love to see that shimmer in my writing.

This green base ink is like a forest green, you can see a little bit of blue when the light hits but a more consistent color I keep seeing is this forest green with red sheen. I think the glass dip pen did a good job at showing how this ink performs.

I can make brush swatches all day with this ink, looks super pretty, reminds me of something magical

Ferris Wheel Press are very impressive with their drying time. Most time I worry when I write on Tomoe River Paper with fountain pen inks but they dry faster than most ink I own.

This is a great ink to add to your collection, Little Red Riding Hood used to be one of my favorite stories. The cloak was one of my favorite things from it, I been hoping to get one for years because like I said, used to be my favorite story growing up so seen this ink coming into this collection made me very happy.
