These are the colours I’ve used to create the image with the poppies.
Unfortunatelly, Blackberry is the only name I know from this list of plant-inks I’ve made.
I’ve obtained these colours through boiling each of the fruits and plants in low water, then I’ve crushed and filtered it.
The resulted juices I’ve stored in little glasses, then I’ve mixed part of it with salt (sare) or vinegar (oțet) in some other recipients.
For a longer life, I deposite the liquids in the refrigerator.
