In Reply to: Home made vines posted by obeligz on January 22, 2003 at 12:01:37:
:This is may be a bit off topic but you mentioned you wanted vines galore.
:I found a way to make your own vines, I find the comercial vines too expensive..
:1. start off with some steel wire. bend it in half and twin the two parts.
:2. grind up some dark cork
:3. mix the cork wit 30% sand of appropriate color.
:4. in a bowl mix vinegar-based silicone with the cork/sand mix until you get a sticky dough.
:5. make a saucage out of the dough and hide the wire in it.
:6. before silicone sets sprinkle some of the cork/sand mix on the vine.
:7. let dry for 5-6 days.
:Worked fine for me and looks good. ^_^
:You can also make shelves and other structures out of the dough.
:Regards
