Yes, snow.. snow can be trouble for a lot of people, going out and buying God know's what to try and make nice, fluffy snow.. Well, some of those products may work, but I've yet to try them.. Way back when, though.. I tried using salt and sugar, but I found out it's a little too clear and salt soaks up all the water in the glue.. it looks wierd, lemme tel you.. Well, here are some more practical solutions I've found by raiding the spice rack! First up, is Onion Powder.. Though a bit yellow, it can be painted if you want, but if you think it's better as sand, then use it like that, I'm not stopping you:

        And now, the all purpose solution to snow! Yes, it's.... Baking soda! It makes me wonder, if Arm& Hammer can be used in cleaning, toothpaste and making the fridge smell nice, why do you want to put it insomething and eat it? It's sorta like how Spam can be used as a wood polish and how YooHoo has no expiration date.. Oh,well, let it snow, let it snow:

        As you can see, I use a lot of glue.. if that happens to you, don't let it happen again.. if you have too much glue, it will move and your perfect snow will crack something ugly.. also, you get what is seen here, where the edges dried higher than the inner glue.. It's been suggested to used superglue or just use small layers of glue/baking soda.. This'll be good until I can go out and buy those clay flakes or Woodland scenics stuff, or magic fairy dust or whatever..

        And now, I'd like to present some of the more coarser herbs on sale.. Again, these are nice and cheap and are more realistic than some other flocks.. Now, tough not a leaf, big scragally grass is usally done with static grass, but for something a bit bigger, I used Dill Weed:

         I know, sounds like a Beavis and Butthead insult, but Dill Weed is the actual grass part of the herb, which goes good on salmon but they also sll Dill Seed. Same type of flavor, but looks different than the weed. So, there's your grass for bigger things, heck, this can also be used as a type of moss on some big senic bases..

        And now, for some actual leaves... Parsley is ubiquitous in every garnish and dish, though it has a small flavor, you can buy it in huge quantities. Since it is so cheap then, it can be used for whole fields of fallern tree leaves. That, and the leaves remind me of oak or maple:

        See? Nice and big, too.. if I had the time/patience I would try to paint some different colros of orange and brown for realistic fall colors! But then I don't, so I've yet too se what it looks like or how it could be executed, but a great though none the less!

Lastly, we have another good smelling one, Basil. By the way, I lave it up to you to pronounce them.. Her-b, Err-b or even Ear-b, I just spell them right!:

As you can see, Basil comprises some parts of the stem, which when dried looks like little bits of wood, and the rough flakes are grea for a woody base. Plus, that little seed that got on there could be a little acorn or nut, great stuff!

        Well, thus ends another crezzy article by yours truly, I just want to remind you once again:
