<DIV><FONT size=2>I don't know about your case, but, I know some fish carvers
who use ground up cork to use for ground in their habitat. You can get it
in fine and coarse ground and gives a good texture I am told. I know one
such supplier is Hide and Beak Supply at Saginaw, Minnesota. I am sure
other suppliers might have it also. Just a thought. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Also, some type of moss that you can buy at hobby shops might
help you out or work for you. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to make a habitat scene for a bird
carving to include a mossy forest floor. Can someone give me a hint on
how to create this? I've been trying successive layers of spray adhesive
and sawdust, but with limited results. Any help would be appreciated.
