Hi Reflected,
The grass is Heki Static Grass Summer which is basically loose flock (nylon) and comes available in a range seasonal colours.
There is also a little plastic 'charger bottle' available from Noch (just google Noch static grass applicator), and you pour the grass into the bottle, give it a good shake and the grass is 'statically charged'.
I made the base by routing a border around some Jelutong, laid down some thin cork mat using spray mount. I painted the matt with shades of dry Earth brown.
Once dry, I applied a thin coat of PVA glue to cover the cork matt. When that has gone tacky the grass is then applied a small area at a time by shaking the bottle and holding upside down about 2 -3 inches above the surface and squeezing the static grass onto the area-just build up as necessary. Turn the base upside down to shake the excess off and pour back into the bottle.
You can then blow accross the grass at different angles to create the effect you want. All this took about 1.5 hours.
