Dandelions

I'm working an an asphalt patch along the spur, and decided I needed some dandelions along with the other weeds surrounding it. So I sat out to create some dandelions.

I started with some grass tufts I think I got in a Noch package.

I added pieces of sisal fibers to act as stems, which i secured with CA.

I then made a mix of saw dust, wet alcohol, and diluted white glue. The idea was to take a small amount of this goo and attach to the top of each stem. This would form the actual flower.

Last I made the flowers yellow by dipping them, in yellow chalk powder.

They may not look exactly like dandelions, but once on the layout and viewed from a distance I think they will do. We'll see.
