Or Stuff I Found in the Garden & Kitchen
At the start of the Fae army building, I knew that I wanted a distinct look to the bases. Which included a blended scenic scatter. I had already seen the use of birch seeds from other blogs. Which give a suitably woodland look. So it was a bit a forage around the house and garden.
Woodland Scatter Mix
From Left to right in approximately equal amounts.
1. Light Brown Scenic Scatter - If I was doing this again I would probably leave this out as it doesn't show up much on the brown bases.
2. Mixed Herbs - form the local supermarket (Other Brands are available).
3. Autumn Scenic Scatter (Yellow / Orange grated sponge) from eBay.
4. Dried Catkins - The whole catkin was dried on a window sill and then they were removed from the stalk by hand.
5. Birch Seed Pods (Silver Birch - I think) - I found a load around the silver birch tree at the bottom of the garden.

Excellent, really useful thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat's geat! I also collect my birhcseed right on my frontdoor. Great to see, what nature has to offer. I usually find herbs to be a little bit too coarse. But depending on how dry they are, you can remedy this with a mortar and pestle.
