Reminds me of my last layout...out of a tunnel and onto a bridge...Nice work!..and thanks for the tip, I always hated the lichen look...they look like dried veins or underwater sponges...and we have allot of them...Now I know what we can use them for. I love those packs of foliage. We use them allot. And we just got a dozen of them. Nice sage grass in the front too!

Great tip Harold, I have bags of lichen downstairs and reluctant to use most of it. At last it doesn't have to go to waste.
Thank's again for another good idea.

Harold, thtnks for the tip.

I use lecithin for clinging flowering vines and to change texture in large vegetation areas.
