Prunus cerasifera is the wild plum's or cherry plum (our street trees) proper name

Well, this weekends work, all on woven wool in the same aluminium pot:

This is it! dried and ironed, was is worth it, YES I declare!

Wet out of the pot, first the plum's

Bundles from the aluminium pot and the mystery:



I have a mystery in this pots outcome:

  • the red/rust leave print from the same had some chains and rings (presumably iron) included
