Lucky, Right !Those are dried flowers from craft stores. I dip them in a solution of black/brown/green ink and iso alcohol for color.
I then rub the buds between my fingers to get rid of most of the flowers. The ink locks them together.
Then I soak them in matte medium thinned with water (about 30 % water) to seal it all in. 2 minutes is about right.
I sometimes sprinkle flock on at this point, if I want a different effect or color.
That's it.
