I believe that the problem was not the moss slurry, but the constant moist necessary for the moss to propagate and grow properly. To keep my moss graffiti moist, I had kept spraying water on them several times everyday. Yet, the wood boards kept drying up very quickly (especially since it's in July, right in the very hot summer). I definitely want to try to do this again, but only when I figure out a way to keep more moist on the moss graffiti (and yes, when the summer is gone :) ). I hope you have better luck than I did. And it would be wonderful if I could get an update from you later on your moss graffiti ;) Cheers! Katherine,

I was wondering if one of the three methods you tried out worked better than the others: "I have made 3 moss graffiti with 3 types of moss mixture. For the first one, I just put a thick layer of the moss slurry on top of the wood. For the second one, I added a layer of ceramic clay on the wood before putting the moss slurry. For the third one, I put a thick layer of moss slurry that was made with moss that grows in soil." Looking forward to hearing from you! Katherine Hi,

I wonder if this kind of art can be realised here in hot and humid weather. One day I will try. I like your tree shape graffiti. You drew it yourself? Good job! Sandy this is so crafty as well.
