Under the dappled canopy of the thick forest, the Big Bad Wolf creeps with a sinister grace, eyes glinting and cunning. As minutes pass, he watches a familial scene unfold. The eldest of the pig siblings works diligently, getting more annoyed as his younger siblings frolic, only feigning hard work. For a moment the wolf reconsiders his targets, unsure if he wants to interject on such a tense family scene, or if his appetite being sated is worth the awkward conversation. Let the ash brown of this ink inspire your next deep musings and bring flow to creative tensions.
Ferris Wheel Press fountain pen inks are available in many distinct colors that spur excitement, creativity, and a feeling of absolute joy every time you write. The water-based inks are suitable for all fountain pens, and are made with the highest quality dyes and resins, featuring rich and saturated tones.

Customer Reviews
Awesome ink
I have a Leonardo that i put this in and I LOVE this color but I am just not getting very much shimmer out of a fine nib. The small bottle also does not fit the magic nib and you have to use the little plastic filling tube. Maybe this had something to do with the shimmer not being very strong. I may grab me a larger bottle of this as the color is great!
FAQs about Bottled Ink
Which pens can accept this ink?
Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.
What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink?
Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.
Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.
Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.
Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens?
Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use?
Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.
It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use?
Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!
