CUTTING GRASS part one

Done.

CUTTING GRASS part two

Cyn was our star painter, and among other things she painted these tombstones for the set. They are made out of blue foam. Linda Joe and Lisa cut the plastic grass to make it look more 'real' . The grass was really tough, and it took some trials and research to find the right tools to cut it with. Tiny electric scissors and some round sharp cutting wheels. Not a good job for the tendinitis prone. Then the grass got painted to kill the even, fabricated look. I saved the bag of plastic clippings. Might come in handy. Perhaps.
