These are wild blackberry brambles that grow on my property. I harvested these and soaked them in an eco-print solution for a few hours and then used a rubber mallet to "pound" them onto pre-coated paper. I used coarse sea salt, diluted ACV, turmeric and soap suds and then covered with plastic wrap and under heavy glass for over 5 hours.
