I like the colour. What length fibres did you use?

I first put down a layer of 2mm straw. Not with the static grass applicator, but sprinkled by hand with a shaker. And then a layer of 2mm early spring using the applicator. However the glue was painted on strategically. So as to leave patches.

 

Once all the rocks and walling is in place, I will use the longer lengths of static grass.

Will you be planting a bed of tulips somewhere in that scene ?

Oooooooh ! Spooky !

That's both interesting and spooky. We're planning to add a derelict cottage or barn if the space permits. So that could be an ideal place to plant some tulips.

Sherry is at Whiddon Down this weekend, accompanied by a police widow who used to own a big house at Bovey Tracey. And another of our AmDram group is a bit of a painter, so last week on our Zoom she showed us an early 'blocking in' of a painting that already clearly showed Hay Tor. She has also recently completed a painting for the next production - which is 'Allo 'Allo, so as you might guess it is the 'Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies'. Margaret, a widow and former school nurse, is 78 this year....

The closest I ever got to AmDram was working as a film extra for a couple years after I retired.

The jewellery work of setting stones in Dartmoor continues.

 

An art, rather than a science. Looking great George.

Hikers have been using well-trodden paths to Bovey Tor over the years.

 

I love the detail of the path crossing at an angle.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

So incey-wincey spider went up the spout again.

 

Don't forget the actions.
