<p>[quote user="loathar"]</p><p>I'm using a food processor with REAL sharp blades. After I make a batch of clump foliage, I let it dry real good and then run it back through the food processor. I then sift it through a strainer. Half remains clump and have comes out as finer grass. You can also use that fine green florist foam. (the kind they stick fake plants in.) That makes real fine grass and dirt but it's hard to get the right color because it's already green.[/quote]</p><p>I just ground up a bit of dried clump in the coffee grinder and ran it through the kitchen strainer. Seems to be just what the doc ordered! Now I just need to figure out the right color scheme. All the paints at the Michaels store seemed to be just barely the wrong shade of green or yellow for live/dead grass. Man, do we have fun in this hobby or what!?! :) Thanks again for your input. It is much appreciated.</p><p> </p>
