Once Upon a Design

Notable design details:

  • Princess Patch, our heroine rides on the back of one of her brothers, looking determined as ever to succeed in her goal.
  • Princess Patch, our heroine rides on the back of one of her brothers, looking determined as ever to succeed in her goal.
  • Hand-knit cardigans fly through the air, ready to be plucked by feathered brothers.
  • In the scuttle and flurry of feathers, Patch has lost her knitting needles. Can you spot where they have gotten to?
  • The sun hits the feathers in such a way they glow a rosy pink, which is inspired by the pink duochrome shimmer.

Notable design motifs:

  • Unique 12-sided bollard cap inspired by memories of the merry-go-round and complete with lovely embossed typography.
  • Hexagonal grip section drawing from the nuts and bolts of Ferris Wheel Press’ history in printmaking.
  • A rollerball tip that can be used to directly draw ink from a bottle, or through the converter for smaller vessels.
  • Circular wordmark debossed into the scalloped base of the body.
Care Instructions

The Roundabout Rollerball Pen comes with an unfilled ink converter. When filling ink for the first time, please allow up to 1 day for the feeder mechanism to become fully saturated

Filling/Changing Ink Colours:

  • Unscrew the barrel from the grip mechanism.
  • Submerge the rollerball tip fully into warm water. Flush the tip by twisting/untwisting the converter mechanism until the water runs clear.
  • Allow to dry overnight.
  • Fill a new colour by submerging the black rollerball tip fully into the ink, then draw the ink into your Roundabout by twisting the converter until you've reached the top position.

Notes:

  • For heavily saturated inks and darker tones or clogged tips, 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
  • Best for use with non-sparkling inks

New Office Pen

I've got to hide it in my desk drawer so it doesn't grow legs, but this is my new office pen. It is a pretty pen that writes smoothly, the ink does dry in/on the roller ball rather quickly after it's sat (with the cap on) over the weekend, and you've got to work at it to get it going again.

Not great

This pen is pretty, but the ink dries up very quickly. I filled it only a few days ago, and now it will not write at all.

Surprisingly lovely

I am very impressed by the smoothness of the pen, and its lack of drying up with my fountain ink. My only wish is that Ferris Wheel Press released an aluminum or other metal version of the pen, i would purchase it in an instant. Absolutely lovely pen, and happy i found something so quality and niche.
