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.

[@nataliadiy1348]

Thanks! it is comming soon!

[@yasminacordahiyamouth2954]

thank you Nathalia, your presentation is beautiful, not at all agressive like other people do....nice music, perfect!

Beautiful living moss artwork by you Hobby Lobby ! My sisters and I are fans of these living moss wall plants artwork.

[@BoloPappaa]

THIS is really interesting. I surfed whole internet but I was not able to fine any information on this topic. You helped a lot!

[@nataliadiy1348]

Thank you, Mihir! I am happy to hear that!

[@aleinaairam4380]

Ohhh tack! Jag har letat i timmar efter hur man kan färga mossa och så äntligen hittar man din video!

[@nataliadiy1348]

Tack! :)

[@lizzyanthus1]

Thank you so much for this video! I love reindeer moss. I've collected it since I was little, but never knew how to preserve it. For this information, I am so greatful! I will try it out very soon, as I just happened to have collected some recently. I subscribed, and look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks again, from NY state in the USA.

[@sodster68]

This is really useful for people making dioramas/sceneries. Thanks for sharing!

[@mastodonseven]

Why I'm here 👍

[@ColorClassicsHD]

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!

[@rosanabasilio6678]

Good question

[@B30pt87]

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.

[@brenda5555]

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.

Yeah this type of moss only grows in very high quality air, we have some here but not much

[@susanp.sutherland2453]

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 ☹️

Nice of you to share it. What's the use of glycerol in moss?

[@twofeathers71]

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!

Can we save the left over glycerin mixture to use for more moss?

Hi Natalie,thank you for your content,was very helpful .Did you dry the moss, or how do clean the roots ?THANK YOU

What glycerin do you use? Food or something else?

[@szyszynka1189]

Did it work with cold solution? I have a lot of moss and glycerol is quite expensive

[@woodspiritstudio]

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!!!

[@nataliadiy1348]

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 😅

[@AmplifiedCovers]

Thank u very much. Cant wait to try it

[@OperaGhost-5]

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?

[@nataliadiy1348]

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

[@OperaGhost-5]

@@nataliadiy1348 thanks.

[@dandelion6403]

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?

[@nataliadiy1348]

I used it three times and it worked. But the second time color became lighter, so I added more paint before next recycling

[@rosanabasilio6678]

You need to warm up the whole solution?

[@martabinczak776]

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

[@nataliadiy1348]

Thanks! It should be fresh for years. But avoid direct sunlight

[@katcoe1079]

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

[@rosanabasilio6678]

@@katcoe1079 thank you for all you share…I’m about to start my first project

[@JaneCaroline]

Awesome 👌👌💟

[@gwenlilly333]

thank yooooou!!! :) well-done!

[@courtneyquinn3188]

Did the moss in the recycled solution preserve well? Or should the solution only be used once?

[@makeupbymikkifarrar6919]

That’s what I want to know.. could the preserve be used more then once?

[@nataliadiy1348]

Yes! I used my solution three times and probably could use more. But is it good to add more paint after each time because otherwise color becomes lighter. And don't forget to heat it. I used microwave

[@majestic035]

Please, record video with make moss wall. Tnx.

[@fairygnomeland8503]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. The best one! I have a question. Can I preserve wild mushrooms following this tutorial?

Can you use industrial alcohol instead of water?

[@kaesz2429]

Can we use next time this mixture of glicerol and water?

[@nataliadiy1348]

yes, a couple of times

[@slovenian]

Do u need to heat it again, or it is ok to dip it in to cold mixture?

[@Tazwanted01]

I have seen the same method with glyerin and alcohol (1:2), is there a difference between alcohol and water?

[@nataliadiy1348]

I tried both and preferred the one with water. When I did with alcohol paint didn't work well.

[@Tazwanted01]

@@nataliadiy1348 thankyou very much!

[@alfajriaji3606]

Very inspiring

[@deankotula634]

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.

[@BeliefHolePodcast]

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!

[@nataliadiy1348]

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

[@woodspiritstudio]

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.

[@susanp.sutherland2453]

I live in North Alabama and it's all in the woods. Just gotta go looking for it 😉
