Sketchbook assignment for the week / due 4/21

Create a tool to apply ink or paint onto paper with (You are basically making a brush/pen/etc using found materials). It can be a ball of rubber bands on a stick, a lock of your dog’s hair, toothbrush, whatever you choose. Get as creative as you can. Hint: natural materials tend to work better than plastics. Then, create an alphabet (lower, upper or both). You can base your forms off of already existing letterforms (like Din) or create something entirely new. It's up to you!
