Heritage – grandma’s neglected lawn, part 6

October 27, 2012

Continuing work on the lawn. I added a bunch of Woodland Scenics Field Grass tufts that I made for Baxter Pointe Villa but never ended up using. These were made from two colors of grass, with the ends dipped in clear gel glue and set to dry on waxed paper.

Once dry, I peeled them from the waxed paper and put them in a storage container.

For the larger tufts, I clipped the glued portion into smaller tufts and glued them into holes made with an awl. It gives a nice overgrown appearance. I saved the rest for later when I install the chimney and fence. I still have some loose grass, too, so I can always make more if I need it.

It’s time for a sprinkling of leaves. :D

The rake is by Sir Thomas Thumb. Grandma needs a weed wacker!

I’ve started setting up a few autumn minis in preparation for my Halloween photos, though I still have a few things to make and finish up. These birdhouses are from Whimsy Cottage Minis.

This one Lyssa gave to me. :D

There’s Ophelia, as you know, and the lovely horse statues are from Katie’s Clay Corner.

I think we’re getting somewhere now.
