My First Preserved Moss Wall Piece (And the Ugliest Green color EVER)

[@LaPrincessa1947]

I used to work with silk florals back in the 90's and there was a preserved reindeer moss product that was so soft it was a dream to work with. Seeing today's video I can almost smell the product. Exciting! And your design...it flows, it has interest, it's dimension, and you nailed it, mija!!!!

[@bevirose]

Very pretty. Looks like an ariel view of a forest. Lovely piece & well worth it! Thx you for sharing.

[@JAYNEmM1962]

Love it! Got me thinking of one with fern fronds dried even the curls. You have a very artistic style. I'm here for it.

[@laurenwellman2516]

Great idea and project Roxanna. It looks fabulous!! I love your choices of moss and colors and placement. Almost looks like you are in the sky looking down on top of trees in the landscape. 🥰

[@alfredstark1653]

Beautiful and Spectacular work created by you... Beyond words...

[@riverunner9978]

O wow! It’s gorgeous with all the texture and tones. When you placed it on the wall it really pops. Beautiful creation! 😍

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@angiewhiddon911]

This was my first video I’ve seen from you. You are super at sharing all of the steps you took and the materials. It turned out perfect. I’m gonna make one this summer! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@ascensiondiaz9390]

Nooo, It`s beautiful and natural colour!!!!!

[@hugod8669]

I just started mine instead of buying it! i did the frame for now and im so excited! you have a nice composition/variation, good depth and nice contrast!!! it look so natural! thanx for your help! :D

[@patking7853]

I've never seen this before. So interesting!!!

[@ashleys7565]

Wow! This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of art. I want to make one now!

[@markmac9586]

Waww by far the best moss picture I have watched being made im so tempted to try and make

[@patking7853]

Absolutely gorgeous! You SHOULD be pleased with your work. 😁

[@FaryalKhan-ku9uf]

Definitely my favorite tutorial thus far!

[@dawndawn6946]

😍😍😍Oh, my goodness! How beautiful! That’s a great price for an original piece of art I LOVE it!!! Now I want one…🤔

[@asianangie7209]

Turned out super nice! Love the frame color and substantial size!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you!

[@AngelaM745]

New hobby unlocked, so beautiful 😍

[@bcvids14]

This video was great, informative, good music, perfect length. I hope you keep it up!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Glad you liked it!

[@waygreenvlandscaping28]

Thank you ♥ this is what I was looking for. Need to see your more videos more often

[@mildredkrisik8888]

I had never seen a moss wall piece before. Your creation is beautiful. Seems to me the price of your materials was quite reasonable for the large piece of art you created. Home depot has hundreds of color samples (paint) you could explore if you don't learn to like what you have. Great job again!

[@margiechism]

Moss print the wall paint ■ I would work that green paint with another color, perhaps the brown from the frame; if it works, I suggest getting some moss and use it like a sponge, then the wall will not have a solid accent but a textured. Do not forget to sign the moss work, perhaps the frame would be a good place. Great work!

[@SnappyR]

Amazing! My first thought when you held it up was that it was an arial drone view of a big area with alot of trees!

[@milliebutterfly]

You did an amazing job. That is beautiful 😍

[@BramptonGardener]

Wow that is just stunning.

[@buddyumbaugh8775]

So beautiful. Looking down on it from above it looks like a mountain landscape. Great Job! Always look forward to seeing your videos. 💚

[@patz780]

This piece is beautiful, Roxanna. You are so creative. And what a lovely addition to the blank wall space. I agree that the paint could be adjusted to better reflect the moss painting…perhaps a little darker and richer green.

[@eleanorcapulong8781]

Omg love love love this! I am inspired to make an overhead "view " of my house and small suburban garden.

[@melaniem5971]

What a gifted eye you have! Absolutely Beautiful ❤

[@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden]

So beautiful! I think I’m going to give this project a try sometime soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Glad you found it! It was super easy!

[@jenniferwalsh6568]

Beautiful! Love the texture and dimension to the wall with paint too!! 🤩 Stunning!

[@janetneill2660]

I LOVE it! I'm so inspired to make one myself! Thank you for showing us the process.

[@susanahgerzsabek7497]

Wow, am in love with the art. Am inspired, thank for sharing.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

My pleasure 😊

[@tannisadam1946]

Just gorgeous!!! Wow!

[@sandrar3628]

I love how this project turned out!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you Sandra!

[@djackson2243]

Absolutely love that project.

[@llrainll]

It’s gorgeous ! And I love this green! It’s really growing on me!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

What a fun project 😃 it looks beautiful Roxana 🥰

[@deborahr9237]

This is a statement piece - you did a great job and really have an artistic eye. I know the pillow moss is expensive, but you def needed the highs and lows of it. The green paint had too much blue in it, but I love the dark color you have done since.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@jennykeilig]

Beautiful work, Roxana! 🥰💚

[@abundanceofapril6272]

That looks incredible

[@gaynellewilliamson2954]

Awesome, you are so talented! 👍

[@maryammehdizadeh162]

Beautiful work can’t believe you never done that before bravo❤

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 😊

[@maeganbarucci-work7525]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Stellasbaby724]

This is gorgeous!!

[@carriekayak8530]

It is beautiful I love the green

[@charlottebolton6705]

You have inspired me.🎉 Love doing puzzles when I was young. Going to use a smaller size until I got the hang of it.

[@meghana5450]

Absolutely Stunning 😍

[@SoilandMargaritas]

It really is! Thank you!

[@bernadette1510]

That looks absolutely amazing!

[@aimeeelliott7608]

SO glad I found this video! I'm wanting to re-do our bedroom and I want it to feel like a cool grotto with ferns and moss growing on the walls. (Just a bit fanciful I'd say.!) Yours looks very doable. Do you know if anyone has tries it with living moss? I know that is a poor idea for me, our humidity is usually below 20%. Love the way you teach, and I'm headed for the after one year video.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I have seen something done with real moss but as a centerpiece, but I would be worry about pests living there like fungus gnats or flies. Also, leave it up to me and the moss would completely died 😩

[@debashreesinha3062]

How did you hang? Could you please guide in terms nails or hooks that you use to hang the piece. Btw, i loved the art!!

[@hayleyfletcher2773]

I love it! Such a beautiful piece of art! Huge well done xx

[@lovegardening4652]

It turned out beautifully! 🎉

[@EyesToSee33]

That is absolutely beautiful. I want to create one of these now.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

You should!

[@nursesrock4264]

this was so satisfying to watch. lm motivated to try it

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Good luck!

[@melodymcneil7892]

It's stunning, my first thought is how will you dust/clean it?

[@ilnpa2722]

My thoughts exactly! 🤔

[@emkn1479]

That’s always my first thought with decor items 🙈 because my house is super dusty

[@Edu_Kate]

I am finally watching this after admiring your artwork for a while. It reminds me of an arial view of a forest. I love it❣️ The materials price is not outrageous. I've been looking for still life prints that I'd still have to frame and this is far less. Since mine will be in my dining room, I might try adding dried mushrooms to the moss sculpture. Maybe not. 🤔

[@SoilandMargaritas]

It is definitely doable for the price, I checked some finished pieces on etsy around this size and the prices are quite high, people get tree branches, fern leaves, rock or other interesting textures to add to it.

[@Edu_Kate]

@@SoilandMargaritas Yes. I've been looking for ideas on Pinterest since you mentioned you saw many videos on making this. I have reserved branches I'd planned to use in a similar wall hanging. Since the moss is so pretty (green IS my favorite color, too) I can incorporate the two. I have so many creative ideas swirling in my head. I've been working on plans to overhaul my front yard, but it's buried under lots of snow. (Just found a tree I'm obsessing over. Krauter Vesuvius cherry plum tree.) Come on, Spring!

[@petergplus6667]

45°, that's fine tropic temp over there. Cool you still wear long sleeves.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

45F and I am freezing :)

[@okolo007]

Hi, I'm seeing this 1 year later and will be making one too. You did superbly well. How is it holding up?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I actually did a one year review… search it and hopefully it comes easy

[@tracyphoenix8]

Saw moss in title and the large frame of moss and had to watch. Love moss, love green, love nature. Love that this wall art lets you create and play around. It's so beautiful. I was thinking of adding the moss to a succulent wall art, but dried moss will get wet when I water the succulents. Will that be ok? I know they sell live moss. Should I use that instead?

[@stetrick612]

Love this. Now I need to think of where to put one I make...

[@НафисБилданов]

Очень красиво ❤ Вы умница 👍

[@59Raregold]

The green on the wall is taking away from your project, which btw turned out beautiful 😍

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Yes! Thank you!

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

Oh I think this turned out so beautiful, and not that expensive for a large individual piece of artwork. I have never seen these before and you did a fabulous job. One question I have is will the colours fade over time, or are they preserved to stay the same? It’s beautiful 🤩

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I think it will be a while before they look dried, the moss is already preserved so it will not fade easily.

[@joaniefournier9103]

Wow it’s soooo beautiful 💗

[@SoilandMargaritas]

It really is! Thank you!

[@AmericanaGardens]

Love this idea! I’ll be doing something similar to this during the winter!

[@ianpierregomes8373]

thats absolutely beautiful. Such a shame it's hard to find one good type of moss to buy in Brazil let alone this much. This is amazing!

[@KD-mz5xv]

amazing job. thanks for sharing. will try.

[@patking7853]

I'm assuming you didn't need to spray the finished project to keep it all in place. Outstanding!

[@laurieg5308]

Gorgeous! ❤

[@alifpathpath5559]

Thanks for the video, it’s beautiful ❤

[@oyvfos]

Thank you very nice 😍

[@Ginax111]

Beautiful. How does it stick to the board?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

@@Ginax111 watch the video

[@nialljoyce6011]

Hey loved the work & design - Just wondering how it's looking now, has it faded much? Do you need to do anything to maintain it - or are you expecting a good few years out of it yet?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I answered ALL those questions in a recent video I did this month for an update kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3yYqZKwp9OAl80si=Pqklqt8p70HfW0i2

[@gretchenapelgren5054]

Awesome! I might have to try,

[@kathynelson30]

Nice job! Love it ! But wall color not working for me?

[@CuratedwithKimieSoula]

Beautiful; is it just a regular picture frame ?

[@kelleyfreeman8846]

Do you happen to have the approxmate box count you used? I’m doing this project but going for 4x6 size and will need to double most likely! Thanks!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I don’t! I did it a couple of years ago now

[@KirtiRoda]

Thank you. I would like to know how your husband made the wood frame.

[@DeniseHernandezBL]

Stunning

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 😊

[@lenlen8008]

Impressive!

[@colourfulmarion]

this looks amazing. well done ;)

[@raccoon1136]

I would definitely like to do this but doubt that will the board get mouldy in that upon moist environment

[@SoilandMargaritas]

The moss I used was preserved moss, so no moist whatsoever, think of this piece as a dry-flower piece, I don't water it... it is supposed to be a maintenance free item, I just gently dust it here and there.

[@nohinsalve5367]

Wow look's great 👍🏻

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you 👍

[@evelinaz1548]

oh i LOVE how you painted the green accent where you hung the piece up!! has the piece held up well? does it get really mossy/messy even while it hangs over time?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

The moss is doing really well, I hardly have to do anything to it, other than a very light and gentle dusting!

[@angelaschettino1327]

This is the first time I ever saw this done and love it! I don’t know if I missed it but does it have to be watered or dampened in any way to keep its color?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

NO, it is preserved moss so other than dusting it with a very soft brush no other maintenance needed from what I read.

[@ThComedy_]

Great job!

[@sueloly7874]

Beautiful!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you!

[@mulhollandbluevango2346]

fantastic!!

[@anitadiaz8517]

Hermoso!!! Now I want to do one!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Go for it!

[@launacreary1139]

Very Impressive

[@PrincessOfTheUniverz]

How did this hold up?

[@bibinetallez]

Amazing! It came out so good! Cant wait to try this ❤ where did you share the links? Cant find them

[@SoilandMargaritas]

In the description of the video :)

[@joanasuncion9127]

Where did you get the frame from? Great job btw!!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I talked about it at the beginning the video (my husband built it) I also added pictures from the materials used to build such frame (Home Depot) and I even added type of materials and measurements.

[@mariateresapalmisano2626]

Is it necessary water it? What happens in summer when it is hot?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I don't water it and I haven't gone a summer with it.

[@dclassics831]

Where did u get the frame? Having difficulties finding bigger frames.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

My hubby made it for me. I explained this in the video

[@Ann-wf1ij]

LOVE!

[@PattySmith1313]

How much did this cost? I didn’t hear that in the video. Thanks!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Check the end

[@kanagawakenji7]

$173 total. $145 on moss [on sale], $23 frame, and $15 misc.

[@shantellove4179]

Does it shed? How do you prevent shedding?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I haven't notice that.

[@yowgyrl]

I'm in the process of making a preserved moss frame and I'm looking on Amazon for different colours of moss and boy are they are expensive.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Yes, the pillow moss is so darn expensive but beautiful looking!

[@AbdullahAbdullah-cs8it]

Where is this company near?
