Iceland lichen soft olive green (ca. 100g)

Soft, olive green, approximately 100g.

Forests of Iceland lichen are not only found in Iceland - this miniature vegetation can be found in many other cool and moist climates around the world. When dried, the lichen is actually very hard and so, for model making purposes (architectural, dioramas), it is softened with glycerine and coloured. Its natural colour of grey-green is, however, still the most beautiful. When used to represent trees and bushes in model making, the lichen should be cut with a scissors or plucked into the desired shape.
