Moss Frames | Live + Dried Moss Tutorial

[@ERYN__]

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.

I had to leave this comment here because this video is so wholesome and inspiring✨(which is something that we don’t see much of nowadays) you are a rarity please keep making your videos we need you lol 😌

[@VanGoPlaces]

Ahhh thank you!!! I definitely plan on making more mossy content!

[@rabbit4975]

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]

Awesome! What's it called? I wonder if potato glue would work.

[@rabbit4975]

@@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 :)

Great video, love!!

[@sandydearborn6165]

I loved watching this! I can’t wait to go find some moss and make one! 🌲🍂🌾

[@VanGoPlaces]

Yay!!!

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]

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

[@danielgarza556]

Thanks! This really helped me feel more confident in my project

[@loves9562]

[@kayandkaycorp13]

[@themossypottery]

Great idea...love your love of moss.

[@Schmuni]

Im in search of a proper moss categorizing channel. You didnt provide that, but i have to say that i share your immense love for moss. WHOOOHOOO! MOSS!

[@VanGoPlaces]

Oooh if you find a good moss channel, please tell me! And WOOOO MOSSSSS

[@Schmuni]

@@VanGoPlaces Well you might know it already and its also not a strict moss or moss categorizing channel, but my best find so far is "serpa design". glhf!

[@VanGoPlaces]

@@Schmuni Ah yes!! Adore his terrarium stuff!

[@ESF19791111]

HELLO !
I ENJOYED THE INFORMATION AND THE REST OF THE CONTENT IN THE VIDEO :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

[@TheStopShort]

Moss is nos :) I’d love one of those japanese moss lawns. Would probably require a LOT of moss, though. I’d also need my own lawn...

[@VanGoPlaces]

Haha yes. And a lot of shade. But so beautiful!

[@Thewoodlandnest]

i love your enthusiasm :)

[@Madilxo]

This video just inspired me so much !! Thank you !!

[@VanGoPlaces]

I'm so glad!! Feel free to show me what you make, I'm @mrskelorra on IG!

[@chrisball7335]

Another tip - That forrest vibe isn't quite complete without a little pine resin on the magnetic incence burner

[@3.0ptix]

Been really interested in doing some moss art. Doing my research now on preserving moss and making moss art. By the way, you have really nice eyes.

[@marandawithana3998]

i fricken love moss

[@Beller1133]

Lovely video. I've seen some people recommend preserving them with glycerin, do you know if that step makes a difference?

[@livijanpejkovic]

can you make a video of how you dry, preserved, moss?

[@stavrotat2]

Wonderful! Thank you for your great advice! :)

[@VanGoPlaces]

Of course! Thanks so much!

[@chrisball7335]

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

[@berthaday3473]

Lovely vid TY. Not really related, but are ur earrings preserved mushrooms? I really like them. Got a vid on how to make them ?

[@chrisball7335]

The more you treat the earth like a fish bowl
The more you feel like a fish out of water

[@mingmingandmikki]

Is there anyway to induce them to produce spores?
Also, really amazing video! Really high quality!

[@ladyrose800]

What do you use as a backing? Would the back rot if I use the paint on method

[@bobrowan8618]

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?

[@bobrowan8618]

Love the video by the way, will definitely try frames as well.

[@VanGoPlaces]

Good question! I don't know enough about epoxy, but if you learn anything please share! Sounds like a super cool project.

[@umaliadventures]

How do you get bugs out from the decorative moss tho?

[@VanGoPlaces]

When I'm cleaning it initially, I might get a very small number of critters. I've never had a problem after that though!

[@chrisball7335]

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
