Experimental drawing with unusual tools

Last Wednesday we had some fun experimenting with unconventional tools of drawing. We were asked to bring various mark-making tools and small objects which fit into a pocket or a bag and had to draw them on large sheets of paper. We had long canes with a brush or a stick of charcoal/etc. taped on one end and had to draw on paper laid on the floor. It was a bit annoying but I enjoyed it and I'm sure I'll want to try it more later. I also made a few drawings with a toothbrush, cotton bud, and a piece of card. I really like drawing with a piece of card, it's not precise but it produces very interesting results.

Used a long cane with a stick of charcoal to draw my old phone.
Keys drawn again with charcoal on a cane.
A bottle of ink and an MP3 player. Used a piece of card and ink.

Ink and a cotton bud on pre-painted paper.
That's a pouch I once made from old jeans for my smartphone. Used a toothbrush and some acrylics on pre-painted paper.
