We've seen quite a few unusual ways to use ink to date, but Living Ink is an innovation that lets you secretly write messages and create drawings. Made from renewable algae and chlorophyll ink, the pen develops in sunlight. Shortly after using the pen, the drawing or writing is erased from the paper and reappears a week later. This way, you can send something nice to a special person in a special way.
