bamboo paper wrapper, iron rust, colored pencil 

so now apparently computers can exhibit pareidolia and have recently started to "see pictures, ain't ya" & pull things out of their ass.  but maybe we should be less impressed with these basic elements of intelligence and pay more attention to the more amazing stuff. 

"our bamboo wrappers" - the paper is some kind of hot press finish, a nice satiny smooth surface; compostable, they say.  takes a stain well.
