Big Bear Mountain Village

By Mona Campisano
Hermosa Beach, CA

"I experimented with your Interior Foam Coat for the first time. After the Foam Coat set, I proceeded to use multiple colors (red sandstone, granite gray, base coat brown, turf green, beige sandstone, etc.) to try to come up with the effect I had wanted. The rocks in Big Bear are jagged and have unique shapes but probably have a more smooth surface than the rough surface I may have gotten with the Exterior Foam Coat (not sure what that surface would have looked like but hope to try it in the future).

The lake was made by pouring hot wax, which I colored with miniscule amounts of blue and green dye, into the soil lined surface. The waves and ripples were made by pinching up the wax with my fingers while it was still warm. The sand is from my beach in Hermosa. Some of the trees were purchased ready made, and others were made using dried ferns etc."

"Again, thanks for making your tools available. It certainly makes the quality of workmanship a lot better than when I had to do everything with regular knives and exacto knives!"
