Very nice indeed . I had some lichen and only one of the colours dried out. The others are all fine. No idea why .

[Ric]

I like those a lot ! 

Just out of interest....Does anyone know what type of lichen that is ?.....There's bucket fulls growing on some of the trees out here......But it seems very 'brittle' in its natural state.
I assume it's treated with 'something' before it's sold as a scenic item.

Glycerin! That what I heard,think you mix it 50/50 with boiling water and let it soak for a while, then I guess you could add dyes of some kind to get the required shade.

I might give that a go.....
Be fun to have a bit of an experiment....Thanks Ric.
