A basic marker pen that can be suited to you or what you’re writing needs (though is usually used for graffiti)
At this moment mentioning graffiti I would like to say I hold no responsibility of how this pen is used. If you go vandalise something (I don’t recommend it) and you get caught its your fault. In the whole it will be your own dumbass fault.

And as in my last instructable my camera doesn’t have any macro settings so the pictures are blurry so please don’t complain. Also be nice with comments

Step 1: Stuff and first step

You will need
-An old mascara, thing
- A penknife or suitable replacement
-Ink or a substitute (I also heard that highlighter pen insides might work but I doubt it)
-Wick of some kind (I used a piece of mop head but felt or fabric MIGHT work)


Lets get to work then
First take your mascara and wash it out by taking the lip of the mascara bottle off (do this in a sink or somewhere you don’t mind getting messy I MEAN IT) and take out as much of the brush as you can

You can use the ink from sharpies instead of having to get all that other stuff. all you gotta do is cut a sharpie ink cartridge in half over some container and ink will be poring out

or you can buy some pilot ink (pilot pen company) it goes great with a pilot jumbo supercolor it is lightfast and a refillabel marker so its green

if your camera doesn't have a macro feature just take the picture at whatever depth you can get away with then crop it on the computer using paint or w/e.

i spell checked it but the 's turned out as some weird symbols like a weird a, euro sign, and a tm sign.

For the close-ups, try using the maximum resolution setting on your camera (at a distance which gives a sharp focus) then crop to an appropriate size. L

This is pretty cool, but did you run this through a spell checker? IN some parts it's very hard to read and if you don't have clear pictures then more detail would be nice :).
