Eco-Art
Sunday, March 1st, 2009Graffiti can by an eyesore and ruin the appearance of a building or an entire neighborhood. It can also be a form or art and now it can be a legal form of art that doesn’t spray toxic fumes in the air. So if you want to try a new eco form of art, I’ve got a little recipe for you.
GET INTO IT
Why not?
1 can of beer
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Several clumps garden moss
You will also need a plastic container (with lid), a blender and a paintbrush.
To begin the recipe, first of all gather together several clumps of moss (moss can usually be found in moist, shady places) and crumble them into a blender. Then add the beer and sugar and blend just long enough to create a smooth, creamy consistency. Now pour the mixture into a plastic container.
Find a suitable damp and shady wall on to which you can apply your moss milkshake. Paint your chosen design onto the wall (either free-hand or using a stencil). If possible try to return to the area over the following weeks to ensure that the mixture is kept moist. Soon the bits of blended moss should begin to recuperate into a whole rooted plant – maintaining your chosen design before eventually colonizing the whole area.
Not so guilty pleasure
