Challenges or observations: In the beginning, the mulberries were so ripe that juice just flowed from them. I poured extra juice into a small bottle and the next day it was fermented! Great smells. One day there was a very strong unexpected rainstorm which resulted in all my prints getting wet in their contact frames. Water was running out of them! I managed to save several from this potential disaster.
