I have a ring,
but I don’t have a finger.
 What am I?

You often use it with a brush

But not the kind used on your hair
Add it nicely to some canvas
So that people will stop and stare
 What am I?

This is not a giraffe

But it has a neck that’s long
It’s something with six strings
And is used to play a song
 What am I?
I can cut but I’m not a knife
I sometimes have paint put on me
but I’m not a wall

I get put in a printer but I’m not ink
