Thanks very much Pete'.  Great idea.  How did you cut the foam thin and then the  stone to size,  That wall looks pretty good........ I would like to give it a try'...

I first cut a "stick" of foam the correct width and height of the stones. I then sliced thin individual stones using a single-edge razor blade. It would be a bit harder with random stones, but should be doable.

If you have the room for a full 1/2" piece of foam, it is also possible to carve  and paint very convincing stones. Here's an example:

The base of the sign is a single piece of foam, carved with a manicure tool.  (the wall in the back is real stone glued together).
