Research and Development: desert vegetation

These are images of the experimenting I have been doing on desert shrubbery and grasses. I discovered a great way to make a huge patch of grass by first using short "sage green" static grass bristles and then long "summer grass" fibers. After it is dry, I can pull off patches with tweezers and dip in diluted white glue and place on the dirt. I preserved some lichen clumps to to make my "juniper trees". By cutting up synthetic steel-wool into tiny bits, spraying them with Rustoleum "Nutmeg" color, then 3M super 77, then flocking with "sage green" short static grass, I was able to make very convincing sage brush.
