Once Upon a Design

In the latest special edition ink series, the friendly animal cast of Ferris Wheel Press find themselves on a journey all the way to Japan, where they visit the home of Ginza Tsutaya Books in their award-winning building, the GINZA SIX.

In this collection, we start by appreciating the modern architectural elements of GINZA SIX, which also houses 13 of the most renowned luxury fashion brands in the world. We then venture into the stunning Tsutaya Books store, where our Canadian animal friends explore the wood and brass-clad stationery floor. Finally, we find ourselves arriving at one of Tsutaya Books' signature display cases, which showcase writing instruments, stationery treasures, and precious objects from all over the world. Discover all the details of their incredible shop through our latest Curious Collaborations Series ink collection.

Waiting for it on my next purchase

I liked this color. It's one of my favorites but if I don't get this color soon I might have to cancel my order and purchase from FineTac instead which gives me the same results. I do a lot of artwork that uses mica and watercolors. The Ferris Wheel Press ones give a similar feel without having to mix in water like I do with Finetac which is why I tried them out. The first order I received right away. But my second order has not been shipped yet and I'm getting disappointed as I need it for a piece I've been commissioned for.

Really gorgeous!

I’m a sucker for brassy colors. It’s a beautiful antique brown with gold shimmer. I just wish the bottle was larger hahaha!

Worth the wait!

I wanted to buy this color back in May because I am in love with everything Gold but it was sold out! When I saw it back in stock I purchased immediately. The color is really really beautiful with plenty of glitter. Would recommend if you want something with vintage/old money vibes.
