[quote user="loathar"] <p>[quote user="paullie"]That looks great! Did you grind it up fine enough to use for grass/groundcover as well?[/quote]</p><p>(did you mean me?) Thanks! I use 3 different kinds of foam. One makes fine grass. One makes good tree leaves and one is good for medium/coarse clump foliage. I bought a couple different strainers with fine and coarse hole patterns to sift the stuff through. <br />The food processor is the ticket! I suggest finding one at a yard sale or flea market.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I went and picked up some 'regular' 1" thick foam rubber from a fabric store and got good results as far as clump ground cover. What specifically type of foam did you find worked well for grass? I'm having great fun playing with this idea. The different colors one can create with mixing the paints will be great. The wife isn't very pleased about the foam and paint in the blender, I may have to get her a new one. </p><p>Thanks!</p>
