Ink Review #2647: Ferris Wheel Press Blushing Mushroom

/

Ferris Wheel Press Blushing Mushroom is from the Down the Rabbit Hole collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Blushing Mushroom is a medium violet with rose gold shimmer.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has lots of rose gold shimmer.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and rose gold shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Blushing Mushroom is a little warmer toned than Journalize Hecate. Click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Violet with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, I like the color, but it can be rather light in smaller nib sizes. I didn’t have any issues with the shimmer clogging, but the flow is drier than I prefer. I would use this ink in wet, broader nibs to help it flow better and be easily read.
