I used a mirror from a dollar-store handheld mirror. The base scenery is floral foam. Base ground cover is used tea, ground fine with a coffee grinder, then ground foam, static grass, and ground leaves. The road is real dirt from the yard, all glued down with diluted matte medium. Trees from Woodland Scenics and China via EBay. The truck dump is a Blair-Line kit. For the bushes along the back, I use dollar-store Scotch-Brite type pads. I first affix ground foam with hairspray (to hide the bright green color), hot-glue them in place, and then add ground foam "bushes" with Aleen's Tacky Glue.
