Last weekend while mowing my I had an idea which may or may not be original - modelling grass using, well, grass. I collected up a bunch of the clippings and used some window screening as a sieve. After passing the clipping through the screen 3-4 times I was left with very fine particles, almost powdery. Gluing it onto a surface using diluted white glue left a very (to me anyway) realistic appearance.
Advantages:
Its cheap (free)
It has a naturally varied coloration
It provides me with motivation to mow.
Disadvantages:
Will it keep its color? (But real grass turns brown too, with the seasons)
Will it get moldy or attract insects?
It's not available year-round, at least where I live.
