I have to report that unfortunately the blue flock I'd ordered turned out to be totally useless for the purpose intended. It's translucent so if anyone is doing a diorama that includes a fairy grotto it would be perfect. It looks like blue ice or perhaps a mineral crystal.
The one flower clump I made to test it has been placed on Zombie's base by Mrs G. He and the zombie lambs don't seem to mind it.
The hunt for a decent fine blue flock continues. It appears to be a very rare commodity.
I have just completed the 8th's base and it's not going to please Gunnar as much as I'd planned.
