Lighthouse

One of the things I love most about my Snow Village display is my lighthouse.  I wanted to be able to display it on a cliff, rising up from the ocean, but I wasn't sure how to accomplish that.  I found a gray plastic four cornered bowl at the dollar store.  I glued a bunch of small rocks to two sides of the bowl and then also applied some moss that I bought in the model train department. I also broke up some twigs and tossed them randomly among the rocks to make it look like driftwood. 

I really wanted something that would look like water, but wasn't real sure how to get there.  I finally took some clear plastic wrap and painted long streaks of 3 different colors of blue and green with glass paint.  I frequently mixed some of the colors.  After it dried, I scrunched it up to form "waves" and wrapped it around the base if the cliff.
