a rare glimpse of 'in progress'

[thunderbolt]

was wonderingthe shelf life of such a custom. DO you have to water him or will it keep its color? Will it dry out and get crumbly?

[LonnieFisher]

Shelf life? Hmmm. I have some moss from when I made some a decade ago and it is still pretty much the color it was then. Shelf life is long, play life is short. I had somebody suggest clear coating it, which scares me. but I might try to see if it will hold up better with handling. It takes forever to hand flock with real moss! I might post a partial together pic if him.

There was some stuff that my dad used to use for coating leaves so they wouldn't breakdown in an aquarium so he could have a natural looking river bottom. Don't remember the name or if it worked all that well.

[thunderbolt]

have you considered anything like this?

The moss is free outside. I get it out of my yard.

Ah, I thought that first pic was a shot of the head
