2:21 am. This is what the pulp looks like with a couple of dye-soaked paper towels added to the mix before boiling. Included is some computer paper, packing paper and maybe 1/4 is newspaper.

The other side. I know this will dry lighter, so that will be a surprise. If it's not TOO light, I may not need to paint, just seal it.

 

Some perspective

 

When I think this is going to take forever, I look back

and see that there really is progress.

Dried green tomatoes. I mean pulp. The top picture shows the green better than the bottom once. Just a trick of the light. These were taken outside in diffuse light on the porch. The ones with the wet pulp were taken indoors with a flash.

Just a tad lighter than I'd expected so if I do use the green pulp for a grassy bg, I'll prolly dry brush with a few other colors of green before adding any foliage.

For this project,  I'll go back to the plain newspaper color since the bg of Dead Man's point is stone.

I learned something so it was not a waste of time or materials.

Longest dry time between layers. I've started to build up the hillside where the Isle of Doom will go. The area isn't big enough to hold it yet, but it's shaping up! The red bit is a Folger's coffee can. Maybe that will give you some perspective on how big it's gotten.
