Once Upon a Design

The bejewelled handle of a discarded dagger glints in the moonlight as it sinks down into the depths of the ocean, breaking through the seafoam while being swallowed by the surging current. The fate of the mermaid princess bound by an unbreakable pact, her choice to follow her heart's desire dooming her to her end - or so it seems. Benevolence trumps all, even in the most treacherous of waters, as selfless sacrifice berths a new beginning and saves her from the prescribed fate of the Sea Witch.

Notable design details:

  • Interior bottle opening: 10mm wide to fit a variety of writing instruments
  • The magic spell of the Sea Witch broken, the princess is free to start her next journey among the air spirits.
  • Tossed upon the waves, the prince's ship departs on a treacherous journey across open waters.
  • In the distance, an underwater castle glows through the gloom of the ocean floor.
  • Some odd sea creatures scurry about - Hex Crabs are an exceedingly rare genus.
  • The entrance to the cave of the Sea Witch sits gloomy in the moonlight, but glowing eyes light up the darkness - I wonder who lurks within?

Blue Paradise

As other users have been saying, this ink is absolutely reminiscent of clear oceanic waters that sparkle in the sunlight. Initially, I wasn’t even interested in purchasing this ink, but seeing it swatched in-person at a shop had me doing a total 180°. Base is a medium rich teal that shimmers absolutely everywhere with a sparkle that doesn’t really appear to have a color of its own—it just blends right in, which is one of my favorite qualities about this ink. Such a beauty.

Stunning Sea Shimmer

This is the first ink I've purchased from Ferris Wheel, but it will NOT be the last! I was surprised when it arrived just how beautiful both the box and the bottle are, and how rich the tone of the ink is while in the well is not done justice by the photo online -- it's how I imagine the last shimmers of sunlight look in the deep ocean, truly. I used a glass-dip pen and was thrilled by how long one tester dip lasted! The color is a very true, pure teal, which is hard to find -- it often skews too green -- and the shimmer is not distracting, just adding a sheen of depth and dimension. I can't wait to try another Ferris Wheel color!
