Ferris Wheel Press FerriTales | The Three Little Pigs Series | Curious Woods Fountain Pen Ink
Step into the shadowed threshold of the Curious Woods — an ash brown ink that carries the warmth of weathered bark and forest floor, shot through with a duochrome shimmer that shifts between green and pink depending on the light. Part of Ferris Wheel Press's FerriTales: The Three Little Pigs Series, Curious Woods is an ink for those who find magic in the understated.
Ink Characteristics
Base Colour A deep ash brown with a neutral, warm, woody quality — muted and sophisticated, with a slightly ashy tone that reads as earthy without veering into red or orange. Versatile enough for everyday writing, distinctive enough to stand apart.
Shimmer A duochrome shimmer that alternates between green and pink depending on the viewing angle and light source. Green tones dominate on broad swabs and large coverage; pink emerges at shifting angles during normal writing. The effect is lively and quietly magical. Shake well before use; the shimmer performs reliably without clogging most pens.
Shading Low shading — the ink maintains a largely consistent tone across strokes, with only subtle variation visible on broader nibs or large coverage areas.
Sheen No significant sheen detected across most reviews and paper types.
