Moss Graffiti!

Spice up the outside of your home with a little moss graffiti! 

Materials:

One or two clumps (about a small handful) of moss

2 cups of buttermilk

2 cups of water

1/2 tsp. sugar

Corn syrup (optional)

Instructions:

1. Gather up as much moss as you can find or buy.

2. Wash the moss to get as much soil out of the roots as possible.

3. Break the moss apart into manageable pieces and place in blender.

4. Add the buttermilk, water and sugar.

Blend the mixture until completely smooth. You'll want it to have a paint-like texture.

[If the mixture is at a consistency where you feel it will drip, add corn syrup until the consistency you desire is reached.]

5. Use a paintbrush to apply the moss-paint to the surface on which you wish your design to grow.

6. If possible, check back weekly to either spray the design with water (to encourage moss growth, especially if you live in a dry environment) or apply more moss-paint.
