A sharpened stick can be used as an ink stylus. If you can find a feather,
or a small piece of bamboo, sharpening one end will make a quill like pen.
Each of these pens is used by dipping
the point into an ink bottle, writing until
the ink runs out, and dipping it back into the ink bottle.
Pack the cotton
into the hollow end of the stick. The cotton
should be packed tight, and there
should be some cotton
protruding from the end.
Wrap the cloth around cotton filled end, tying it on tightly with the string.
Feathers and sponges
make good paintbrushes. If a plant is fibrous enough, you can chew or pound
on its stem to make a stiff bristled brush. Animal
hair or hair extension hair can
also be tied to a stick to form a paintbrush
