Gorgeous Green Graffiti

If you like the power of the painted word, but balk at inhaling noxious chemicals or being bust by the cops, then there are perfectly harmless ways for you to have your say in a pretty

spectacular fashion. Green graffiti is the way modern, eco-friendly underground prophets are choosing to express themselves.

Green graffiti is easy as pie to create, but the effect is stunning. Like all great art, it requires a little love, a lot of imagination and a pinch of moxie.

How to make your own green graffiti

1. Find moss in damp areas in your garden or in a wood near you. All you need is a small handful of moss to begin

2. Rinse the moss and place it in a blender

3. Add 2 cups of yogurt, 2 cups of water, ½ teaspoon of sugar and blend until smooth

4. Now just paint it onto any surface with a paintbrush

You can paint signs or messages on walls, or cover items in your home or garden with the moss paint. Keep it damp by spritzing it with water from a spray bottle every couple of days. Your green graffiti or moss art will start to grow in no time at all.
