I Need Moss

I am looking for MOSS but not just any moss. I don't want natural stuff I want fake.

As I have almost finished my story my mind is now turning to my models again. In particular my hanging houses.

In the past, as you can see above, I have used knitting wool. My problem is, of course, is that I can not find that wool anymore. With the amazing use of the Internet I was able to find three different wools/yarn that I thought would do the job but I couldn't buy them in Australia. I didn't want to buy stacks of the stuff from another country just in case it didn't work so I went looking for an alternative.
Hence I have found these:- (I apologise for the poor quality of the photos.)

      The first one is called Forest Moss from Commercial Silk a New Zealand firm. The problem I have is I only want one roll to see how it goes and I might have to buy bulk. I've decided against this as I have to buy $250.00 worth at a time and I've refused as I don't even know if it will do the job. I've asked if they could tell me where I could buy one roll but got no answer.
      The second roll comes from Life Like Plants Australia a company in Victoria. I will definitely be buying a roll of this as I 'can' buy just one roll to try it out. I've decided against this as (from other photos) it looks to wiry for me, not natural enough. I'm back to square one.

I thought I would just add this link to Jinai.com.au even though it has nothing to do with moss. I just LOVE the plants and when I can afford it I shall be buying some.

Stuff I Need - 1

It is a very strange thing, and I wonder if it happens to others, but when my mind is concentrating on 'something' then everything that pertains to that 'something' comes to me.

For instance at the moment I am 90% consumed with getting my story finished and so everything pertaining to writing and achieving this is coming into my life.

BUT

I want, and NEED, to get back to creating my miniature models and because my mind is not wholy and solely concentrating on it NOTHING is coming my way in advantages and especially things/stuff that I NEED to create my models and so I am buying bits when ever I can.

Created out of wooden scewers
for the stems and Yates flower
 caps for the tops.

My main haunt is the Charity Shops. As you can remember I was needing MOSS. I started taking soft toys apart (which I much admit gave me an odd feeling) so I stopped. Plus my daughter said "You can't do that! Its a Teddy Bear!"
I then was able to find three different coloured wool and a dark brown fluffy cushion. Combined I should be able to do something with them.

I've found things made out of beads, wooden and other. Fabric samplers with the stand that was used to hold them. This is going to be great as I'm going to paint it black and but up a sign on the top and create a hanging house that will fit within it. I will be able to use it as small displays.



Made from a button someone
gave me. I made a mould and
created hundreds of them.

I'm hoping that when I can get my mind back onto my models the energies of this earth will bring things/stuff to me because without it I can't build my models.
