An image of the first test of natural ink on paper homemade from local dead/fallen plants. Whilst it is a comon pratice to take from living plants, I have rejected that so far.


 "It is hard to tell a really gripping tale of how I wrestled a wild-oat seed from its husk, and then another, and then another, and then another and then I scratched my gnat bites, and Ool said something funny, and we went to the creek and got a drink and watched newts for a while, and then I found another patch of oats [...] No, it does not compare, it cannot compete with how I thrust my spear deep into the titanic hairy flank while Oob, impaled on one huge sweeping tusk, writhed screaming, and Boob was crushed to jelly when the mammoth fell on him as I shot my unerring arrow straight through eye to brain."
