Once Upon a Design

Notable design details:

  • Three Bearringtons work diligently in the print studio. Grandmother Grizzelda prints while her son Barry organizes the type trays. Even a young Bearnice toddles across the studio, learning by example wherever her small paws can.
  • The family of studio cats ‘help’ best they can. Inspired by the real-life mascots of Ferris Wheel Press studios.
  • Vintage printing presses and tools are dutifully preserved in the studio, sometimes the classics are the best. Can you spot the iconic vintage Pearl press?

Fantastic Grey

This is a great grey ink, flows wonderfully, great shading with a pleasant warm tone too it, tried it across 4 different paper types and works great with all of them.

Looks Like Graphite

This ink is lovely, it's consistent and sits well on the page. It also dries fast when using a medium nib. I gave 4 stars because it is much lighter on the page than I anticipated, it looks more like a 2H pencil than the 6B it appears to be in the online photos. Overall, I am happy and will be using the whole bottle no doubt.

Simple soft

I don’t like writing with straight black so this is a nice softer alternative without being too bright or colourful.

A Comforting Warm Grey

I don't have many other greys to compare it to, admittedly because I've never been overly drawn to grey as a tone, but really wanted to give this one a try.

It seems well lubricated and flows extremely well, and has a lot of shading. It's a warm grey, although with some papers I've noticed it can look closer to a pure neutral. Sketching with it can at times look eerily close to pencil sketches, it kind of feels like a warm, liquid graphite.

A great everyday ink

Writing with this puts down a line similar to writing with a pencil colour wise, only i get to use it with a fountain pen.
