  • Here's a complete tutorial on gathering moss, types that work best for drying, and assembling it either live or dried into a frame.
    Thank you to the Connecticut Artists Respond Grant for sponsoring this video!

    Excited about some moss on its way to me. I've had plans for making a moss checkerboard for years. I had a baby, and I am planning to place her on moss holding a 4 leaf clover. She is so magical and will look like a little leprechaun. After the shoot, I will attempt my checkerboard. Chess would be difficult with the unlevel tiles, but I might attempt it with my fairy chess pieces.

    Hi there, came across this in my search for a problem I'm having. You did a great job and saw at the end that it was part of CT grant....yay! A CT resident myself and we have LOTS of moss. I glue it also, but because I use "messy" moss and it is on something vertical, I'm looking for some sort of spray to help with the inevitable dropping moss. Could find absolutely nothing on the web. But yes, enjoyed watching this, informative.

    • @VanGoPlaces
      @VanGoPlaces  Před 2 lety +1

      Yay CT moss folks!! I've had great luck with putting spray adhesive on the surface first, then putting on the chaotic moss for vertical things! I did a moss couch like this once haha

    I like to forage moss to keep my soil moist
    But I always spread it out when I take it so it still looks untouched

    Mossive! So I‘m kinda getting into doing this stuff and I just felt like sticking it would be so easy but glue feels a little weird doesn‘t it... So I found some resin from the trees which becomes really sticky when you burn it and afterwards becomes hard just like glue. The process is pretty messy but it also smells gud ;)

      @@hannahbosland7319 Just take excess resin from trees, you can also find it where trees have recently fallen. Collect it in a box, burn it and the stuff that drips is really sticky when it‘s hot. But you‘ll get your fingers dirty for sure :)

    Slightly off topic, I'm looking to preserve moss in epoxy and I'm worried about trapping a lot of moisture in the epoxy. Seeing as you seem to know more than I about moss, do you reckon I need to worry about the moisture and if so, how long should I let it dry?

    What about growing furniture out of mushrooms then adding some moss for the seat
    I might do a moss ceiling because steam rises
    Definitely got mushroom as insulation
    And mushrooms as leather
    And mushrooms as lionsmane steaks
    There are many varietys of Moss
    I always wanted to do like a colour chart of all the mosses
    Like those carpet shops have
    Moss removes pollution
    But what if we just don't make any
    I'm going no pollution no fuel no batteries and no plastic for the health of our planet
    Gravity powered 💡
    Magneticly heated♨️
    Lightbulb water mist flame effects🔥
    And Acoustic fire extinguisher
    Because i imagine they last longer than normal ones being that it's just a speaker in a bucket with a hole cut out
    But yea free energy Is real
    Gravity is infinite
    Infinite power sources do not require energy storage
    And there's also good compressed air cars now
    Maybe sails on vehicles will make a comeback from the early 1900s
    But they have evolved since then
