I made this video in exchange for the steel nib Brush fountain pen and two of their inks, Stroke of Midnight and Moss Park Green.
You can find their products at a bunch of fountain pen shops (Goulet Pens is one of my favorites!) or at ferriswheelpress.com
This video also contains a look at the Ferris Wheel Press ink Tanzanite Sky, but they did not send me that one - my sister gave it to me!
