Today’s ink is Ferris Wheel Press Emerald Gardens from the Beauty and the Beast collection. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

*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 some shading and shimmer.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

Emerald Gardens is close to Diamine Pine Needle. Click here to see the green inks together.

I used a TWSBI Eco Transparent Green with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, I love this color, but the flow is too dry for me. I didn’t like it in the TWSBI Eco pictured above-it was just not a good combination.
