Okay, I have seen grass in black, brown, light brown, and varying shades of green. But what if I wanted to do, say, a purple grass for some weird alien world? Is there a company that sells bizarrely colored scenic grass? Or is there some other material that I could use? Is there a way to paint or dye my scenic grass that I just haven't thought of? Weird questions, I know, but I can't seem to find any good answers.

Toothbrush bristles can be a good way to go. Just make a wash, wash the brush, then clip.

Blonde hair, gathered for free from the floor of a barber shop, is super creepy but also dyes well and you can get longer stands.

You can also take the light "scorched grass" color of scenic grass and colorize it. To do this, use regular paint thinned down in rubbing alcohol. Alcohol dries quicker than water, so make sure you stir it around as it dries to avoid clumping caused by the paint settling out.

Oh, forgot to add halloween wigs. Cheap ones can be found year round in ... ahem... adult toy stores. Blue, green, bright pink, purple, all the colors of the hooker rainbow.

p.p.s. Love your sig banner.

Great option! I didn't think about...adult toy stores. I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna get that one past my wife without suspicion, but I'll figure something out.

Just take her with you.
