Ferris Wheel Press Lighter Color Mixing and Swatching
I had a great time mixing some of my lighter Ferris Wheel Press inks with some of my darkest ones to create some beautiful new colors to use in my fountain pens. I walk through my process for mixing fountain pen inks, starting with small sample vials to avoid contamination and make handling easier. I use tools like reusable glass droppers and a watercolor brush for easier mixing and application, testing different ratios to observe color shifts. Enjoy!
*DISCLAIMER* : I could not find any mention on the Ferris Wheel Press site or inks themselves to say that say they are safe to mix together (I have never had any issues with my mixes) but please use your mixes in your pens at your own risk – neither Ferris Wheel Press, or I are not responsible for any mishaps occurring from your mixes 🙂
🍠You can find most of the inks I used over at the FWP site or Atlas Stationers, some are not being made anymore so sorry about that if they are not available.
