Ink Review: Ferris Wheel Press Tumbling Time Blue

COLOR

Tumbling Time Blue is part of Ferris Wheel Press' Alice in Wonderland series, 'Down the Rabbit Hole.' It is a very nice bright blue with extreme red sheen and a light blue shimmer.

CHARACTER

In writing, this ink has a nicely balanced sheen that still allows some of the blue to show through, and a good amount of shimmer that occasionally sparkles through.

CONSISTENCY

For being a sheening, shimmering extravagant ink, I find that this ink is well lubricated. I have not had issues with it being dry or prone to smearing, and the dry time seems reasonable for a high-sheen ink.

CONCLUSION

I know I have a number of high-sheen blue shimmer inks, but I love them so much. This ink looks amazing on the page, and is not a huge frustration to write with. My biggest complaints with this ink are actually in the bottle. It's an adorable tiny 20ml spherical bottle that looks great, but it's a pain to ink any pen out of it due to its tiny neck. It's also a bit pricey, which was one thing when it was more of a unique color. Now there are many similar high-sheen high-shimmer blues on the market.
