Winter Scenes. — After a stump, rock or piece of 

 groundwork is made, as previously described, it can 

 readily be made into a snow scene as follows: — 

 Dissolve 1 ounce of pulverized glue in 1 pint of 

 boiling water and add 4 ounces of whiting. As soon 

 as this is cool it is ready for use; wherever you 

 want snow on the base, paint it with this whiting 

 and glue mixture and then sprinkle on a few flakes 

 of Mica Flakes. The foliage and grasses may also 

 have touches of this snow and you will have a very 

 frosty stand; icicles, made as described in Chapter 

 10, can be attached to rockwood or stumps.
