20 Masterpieces of Green Graffiti

Moss Graffiti Horticulturist's of the past came up with a brilliant recipe to encourage the growth of moss to age and add interest to their garden designs, this recipe can be used as an an environmentally friendly alternative to spray paint. The success of the recipe itself can be very hit and miss and is very much dependent upon choosing exactly the right location and weather conditions; moss thrives in the damp and can most often be found growing near to a leaky drainpipe or rain-soaked wall. If you have difficulty finding the right climate in which to grow your moss, grow it indoors (where it can be frequently spray-misted with water) and transplant it outdoors as soon as it has begun to grow. This is what I have done in the example shown in this instructable.

DIY Green Graffiti: Making Moss Murals by LiveOAK Staff on September 8, 2008 I came across a cool article on Environmental Graffiti about Anna Garforth and her Mossenger street art project that involves adorning public walls with green graffiti made from moss. Using the method that Garforth is using, disaffected youth can turn their tagging terra-friendly by making moss murals. The Moss Green Graffiti is completely natural and organic, as opposed to traditional enamel based sprays that are ridden with CFCs, VOCs and a host of other scary acronyms that make mother nature cringe. The best part is it's relatively easy to make... So if you are a Highway Vandal with a conscience or an eco-friendly artist check out these tutorials and recipes to get you started...
