This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Traditional Skills.
Writing letters is a great way to communicate but what if you don't have a pen or ink? Let's try our hand at making ink!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make homemade ink for writing or artwork
- Must stay legible for 2 days
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The recipe your are using
- Midway through making the ink
- Finished ink
- Writing on a piece of white paper
- Same writing 2 days later with evidence that 2 days has actually passed
