Once Upon a Design

Notable design details:

  • Peering through the windows of the chateau, behind billowing toile curtains, the Beast and the lovely Patch share a tender moment.
  • Hints of the Beast’s true self are hidden around the carved filigree of the castle walls.
  • Beautiful rose vines snake up the stone walls of the château, foreshadowing the transformation that is to come.
Care instructions

Filling/Changing Ink Colours:

  • Unscrew to remove the barrel from the grip section and access the converter.
  • Place the fountain pen nib fully into warm water. Flush the nib by twisting/untwisting the converter until the water runs clear.
  • Allow 1 day to dry.
  • Fill a new colour by fully submerging the nib and feeder into the ink, then draw the ink into your pen but twisting the converter until you’ve reached the top position.

Notes:

  • For heavily saturated inks and darker tones, or clogged nibs, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
  • It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink

Cheaply made, not a pleasant write

I loved the look of the pen and needed one to keep in my classroom. It feels very cheap, and the plastic is thin enough to see the ink barrel (my pen is pale pink, so the dark ink inside shows as shadows on the body).

Most importantly, it was damaged when I got it. The cap cover inside was coming out every time I opened it. I tried securing it, but then the pen wouldn’t close. I contacted support 3 times, and engaged on 2 social media platforms before I got a reply. And am still waiting for resolution.

Despite that, I tried just using it to find some sort of positive experience from this purchase. And it was bad. The pen doesn’t flow well and I have to push hard down to even try to get it sort of working.

I pick up kids’ fountain pens when I go to Europe and they are less than $10, but the quality far surpasses what I got from Ferris Wheel. I won’t be buying again, not only for quality but also for the customer service.

A fave pen

This pen is a repeat purchase for me. It writes beautifully, with good flow right up to the last drop of ink!

Greater starter.

So far I’m very happy with this pen for starting on my Ferris Wheel Press journey. I love the soft pink and smoothness of how it writes.

The plastic does feel a little thin compared some of my other economy fountain pens and I’m eager to see how well it holds up with long term use.
