The following prints are the very first examples of embossing found objects from nature.
In theory the objects are inked and laid on a printing press bed with damp rag paper laid over top.
A 3 layer sheet of felt is placed on top. The printing wheel is turned and the objects get pressed with about 2000pnd per square inch of pressure. The pressure, prints the objects into the paper leaving a textured imprint.
