This is so helpful. I am making my first moss-project now with reindeer lichten, and following your guide step-by step!
I just bought some moss to use for crafts, love everything nature to use for decorating, it was expensive. I was thinking to myself I probably could do my own moss, like you found nothing online showing how to preserve moss.This was interesting and informative, thanking for sharing.
You are so right you can't find any video's on drying moss. I loved your tutorial, great job. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished clock.
Thanks! it is comming soon!
This is really useful for people making dioramas/sceneries. Thanks for sharing!
Why I'm here 👍
Awesome video! thank you for recording all the process!
thank you so much for this tutorial. and for sharing your methods!!
THIS is really interesting.
I surfed whole internet but I was not able to fine any information on this topic. You helped a lot!
Thank you, Mihir! I am happy to hear that!
Many types of vegetation can be preserved with glycerin. I have some leaves I picked and preserved more than ten years ago and they are dark, but still flexible. They were in a dark box for most of the time - I think they would not have lasted so long in sunlight.
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Yeah this type of moss only grows in very high quality air, we have some here but not much
I live in Alabama & we have lots of reindeer lichen/moss in the woods. I'm going to go get some tomorrow & want to try this. Only thing is I can't find where to buy the glycerol ☹️
Thanks you just saved me some money 💰
I'm interested on doing this project. Thanks for the tips

Wow!
It's so interesting)!
Thanks))
Thanks for the tutorial!
I still have one question, do you need to dry the moss after collecting from the forest, before putting it into the solution? If yes how do you dry it, and when do you know it's ready to put into the solution?
Merry Christmas and a great start into new year!
Good question
Hi Natalie,thank you for your content,was very helpful .Did you dry the moss, or how do clean the roots ?THANK YOU
very beatifull
Hi, Very nice video ! how long did you left the moss drying after taking out of solution ? The room temperature and circulated or not ? Thank you.
Very inspiring
Thank you!!
Perfect ❤❤❤❤
@8:32: "So, a little bit I squooze it..." Charming!

Thank you so much for your video. I just picked a bunch of moss and I am trying your technique now. I was wondering is your moss still green and soft? I want to make thinhs to sell and Iwant to be sure the moss stays nice. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your interesting Video. I would like to see more of it ;-)

Thank you so much for this tutorial. The best one! I have a question. Can I preserve wild mushrooms following this tutorial?
Thank you💐
Thank you for your good training
Is this the same way to build a moss wall?
Do you have suggestions on growing a moss garden outdoors? Thank you
You are so cute! I really enjoyed this
Hi Natalia, I’m curious if you be able to use the sabe solution on yoir other moss.

Hi Natalia! Up until a few days ago, I had no idea that moss was so popular! I stumbled upon your video by accident and am so happy that I did!! Now that I'm seeing all of the creative things that can be made with moss, I am excited about trying some projects myself! I've located fields of reindeer moss and have gathered way more than I should have, but with our long harsh winters where I live, I figured its better to be safe than sorry! I have a question though.... I have dried the moss very well ... its crispy.... do you think it will be okay stored in boxes the way it is, or will it crumble and turn to dust over time? Dying and preserving it in small batches as I need it sure would be easier than tackling it all at once. Thank You again for sharing your time and knowledge with us!!!
Thanks for your comment! You did everything perfectly :) it will stay crispy and ready to be stabilized. Just be careful and don't smash it by accident, like my 6 year old son did with mine 😅
hello there:) I've stumbled upon your video and it is extremely helpful thank you so much!! I know this was posted 2 years ago, so I hope you can see my comment. I just still have one question. How do I clean the moss once I get home from collecting? Thanks again!
Nice of you to share it. What's the use of glycerol in moss?
Wow i wish i had a jackpot like that near me lol
Hi natalia, thank you for this video, beautifull work.
Please no problem with insects and mosquito?
How wonderful! I'm looking to buy preserved mosses here in Brazil, do you know who can send them?
دوست دارم ممنون
I love your video - I want to grow mine indoors does it like water, humidity? Will it grow in a frog tank or near a ponds edge? can it grow on wood does it need soil? What about light? Can it withstand bright light or does it need shaded light can anyone help me I have some a friend gave me but we dont have it where im from naturally and Ive never seen any before now - I have mine right now in a container on top of some leaf litter and coco fiber with some bark chips I gathered from my backyard? but watering? light? other plants I can grow with it? Id love more info XOXO
Can you do your next video on moss frames, they will really look amazing!
great idea! definitely will do that!
hello Natalia,
you explained that very well.
i'm going to try this too.
Which road was that where you passed on the way back. Where there was such a beautiful big moss. 🤭👍 really super beautiful.
Kind regards, Conny😉👍🍀🌹
Класс 👍👍
thanks
Natalia, I have the same question as Tim. I read some where that you have to dry the moss before putting it into the solution. Did you do this? Thanks.
Does the moss kept the colour and structure after month? And which sort of Colour die you use? Thank you.
Inspiring video! :) I'd love to make some acoustic panels with this moss for our podcast studio. If only we had the same access to reindeer moss here in the states!
wow! I imagine it will look amazing and functional! great idea! Scandinavia is a perfect place to collect this moss, I agree :) but try your luck. Start with a pine forest
Hi! I dont know what area of the states you live, but I am in Northern Michigan and reindeer moss is very abundant here. I googled what type of environment it grows in and that was a big help in locating it. I learned its a lot more plentiful than I imagined.... but then, I never looked for it before.
I live in North Alabama and it's all in the woods. Just gotta go looking for it 😉
@@nataliadiy1348 Thanks for the tip!!
@@woodspiritstudio Great advice, D Dodge! We gotta get out there and start searching!
Hey! I am trying to clean and dry some Missouri rock moss for gluing onto a paintball or airsoft weapon for ghillie-like camouflage. What is THE best method to washing and drying moss to keep it not only green, but mailable and not brittle?
I would recommend to wash this type of moss very gently or maybe even better if you just clip the soil and other dirt with scissors. After that, you can stabilize it with glycerol and water as I did in this video, just don't add paint to keep it more natural for better camouflage
@@nataliadiy1348 thanks.
Hello! Is there several type of glycerol. Or we can use what we find in store?
Love it! Thank you for this. How long your stabilized moss is "fresh" ? I want to make my own green wall but I am wondering how long it will be green :P
Thanks! It should be fresh for years. But avoid direct sunlight
It will loose colour over time from sunlight or from dust settling on it. Best to keep out of direct sunlight as Natalia said, and to clean carefully with pressurised air. You can buy it in spray cans from stores that sell electronics
@@katcoe1079 thank you for all you share…I’m about to start my first project
Awesome video, just what I needed. Was reusing the same solution ok for the next batch? Does it have the same effect even when reused multiple times?
I used it three times and it worked. But the second time color became lighter, so I added more paint before next recycling
You need to warm up the whole solution?
Did it work with cold solution? I have a lot of moss and glycerol is quite expensive
I'm sorry but not sure I understood well, you say water must be 70°C? But only when mixing with grycerol, right? Thanks!
Hi Nat, thank you for this wonderful video.
Could you post an update of your clock or how the moss preserved after some time?
Anyhow - great stuff, keep up the work! :)
thanks! a clock is comming soon! But I can say now, that moos is still soft and pretty :)
What is the glycerol? Food or something?
Hello, thank you very much for the video :) How much glycerol do you think is necessary for a normal small picture size (dina 4)? 100 ml/500 ml/1l? I have no idea 😆
I would say 300 ml. if it is not enough just recycle a solution
Omg it's so pretty but I live on a hot tropical small island so finding those is close to impossible
is glycerine toxic to jumping spiders? I'm planning to put one preserved moss in my jumping spider enclosure
beautiful. wish i could find these in India
Hello it looks very nice I have a question where can i find it plants, and whether there is a season 😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏
