Ferris Wheel Press Plaited Gold Tress is from the Once Upon a Time collection. You can find this ink for sale at most 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.

In large swabs on Tomoe River Paper you can see plenty of shimmer.

Plaited Gold Tress is closest to Robert Oster Sparkle Fairy. Click here to see the yellow inks together.

I used a Pelikan M200 Gold Marbled with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, I love the bright golden color, but I don’t love the combination with the green-gold shimmer though.
