Moss Grafitti

How to make moss grafitti...you will need - One or two clumps (about a small handful) of moss
2 cups of buttermilk
You can also substitute with yogurt (vegan yogurt can be used)
2 cups of water (or beer)
1/2 tsp. sugar
Corn syrup (optional)
 to make:-
1. Gather up as much moss as you can find. 2. Wash the moss to get as much soil out of the roots as possible. 3. Break moss up and add to a blender along with the the other ingredients - whiz it up until its smooth and a paint like texture. 4. Use a paint brush to paint onto desired wall etc.

Here's what can be achieved...

1 of your 5 a day

What a simple, yet affective idea... ceramic bowls molded from vegetables. The designers mischer'traxler dye the bowls to match the veggie they came from. The bowls are called 'Reverse Volumes' for obvious reasons and needless to say each bowl is a unique shape since no veggie / fruit are exactly the same.



I wouldn't like to be the one with the task of washing the cauliflour bowl.

Top of the POPS!

Thought I'd share a couple of my favourite album covers - as a kid I used flick through all my dads vinyl and dream of being the woman from Roxy Music's album cover! My sister and I also used to unzip the Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers whilst collasping on the floor in a fit of giggles.

INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

In order to celebrate International Women's Day we all decided to have a right old girlie night and booked in for a mate to come over and paint all our nails with Shellac. I'd heard of it before and was curious to how it looked - I'm not a big fan of fake nails and like to keep mine short and neat, so this was perfect for me.




They have a good range of colours and the results are amazing, mirror shine and chip free for 14 days - my kind of nail varnish! I went for the beautiful bright red and can't stop staring at how perfect they are!
