I started on the vines for the tree today. I hot glued wire to the rope so when I binned it it keeps its shape. Strait pins are holding it in place for now.
Any ideas for making the silicone peat mix a lighter color?

if you want to use titebond you can add an acrylic paint to the slush that would lighten it up. it might work for cilicon but idk how well

I have some sphagnum moss, so I will try some of that, and see how it work.
I don't like TB because it's to stiff for vines.

I would agree that you'll probably have to add some type of paint to the mix in order to lighten it up. What color silicone are you using? If you're using black, you might try brown or white instead.

if you go with the sphagnum i would put it through a processor to make it really small so you wont have big chunks or long fibers

I used black silicone on the tree, but I just ordered some clear.
I was going to grind the sphagnum moss very fine. I have a old flower mill I am going to try.

I add some paint to some clear silicone, it makes the silicone dry really fast! But with mineral spirits it works ok.

are those them coated?

[FIT BMX]

I put ground sphagnum on two of them, and the other is just silicone. It is really nasty look!
Even if this doesn't work, it's a great way to make fake puke!!!LOL
