Moss graffiti, also called eco-graffiti or green graffiti, replaces spray paint, paint-markers or other such toxic chemicals and paints with a paintbrush and a moss “paint” that can grow on its own. As people become more eco-friendly and environmentally aware, the idea of making living, breathing graffiti has become a more green and creative outlet for graffiti artists. It can also be considered another form of guerrilla gardening.
Moss Graffiti
Say it Don’t Spray it
WHAT YOU NEED
+ One or two clumps (about a small handful) of moss
+ 2 cups of vegan yogurt
(Buttermilk yeilds best results)
+ 2 cups of water (or beer)
+ 1/2 tsp. sugar
HOW YOU DO
1.) Gather up as much moss as you can find or buy.
2.)Wash the moss to get as much soil out of the roots as possible.
3.) Break the moss apart into manageable pieces and place in blender.
4.) Add the buttermilk/yogurt, water/beer and sugar. Blend the mixture until completely smooth. You’ll want it to have a paint-like texture. If the mixture is at a consistency where you feel it will drip, add corn syrup until the consistency you desire is reached.
5.) Use a paintbrush to apply the moss-paint to the surface on which you wish your design to grow.
6.) If possible, check back weekly to either spray the design with water (to encourage moss growth, especially if you live in a dry environment) or apply more moss-paint.

Tea Hybrid
An affordable Hybrid
Rosemary-Laced Lemonade Tea:
2 cups prepared tangerine- or orange-flavored white tea
2 cups chilled lemonade
2 large sprigs fresh rosemary (about 6” each)
In a large jar, bruise the rosemary leaves with your fingers.
Add the lemon and water, cover and let the sun do the work for 4 hours.
Strain or don’t. If you have a fridge or you might want to put the mixture in there for an hour to chill. Ice is terrible for your insides.
You get about 3 days with this, if you have a refridgeration device. 
Homemade Pizza Dough
Top it with Roasted Red Pepper Pesto
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon raw sugar (yeast has got to eat)
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt (Grey/Pink)
- How It Goes -
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round.
Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker’s peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.
