Is the Moss real or alive? Moss is real and preserved. It's dyed with non-toxic food-grade ingredients. It stays beautiful and green for years!
Where do you get the moss and supplies? Moss is typically purchased from various wholesalers. Sometime the moss is sustainability foraged. Frames are bought anywhere: antique malls, craft stores, thrift stores, etc. Sometimes frames are made by hand by the artist, Liz. Other supplies (flowers, bark, ferns) are foraged, bought online or craft stores.
Where do you get the animal skulls? All animal skulls are ethically sourced. Some skulls come from a Colorado hunter friend who finds the skulls in the wilderness, cleans them, and sells them. Other skulls are purchased from local Denver stores like Learned Lemur, who cleans their own skulls using beatles. Cool!
How do I care for my moss piece? Moss is zero-maintenance. Do not water and keep out of direct sunlight, it will lose it's color. It's best to hang Moss pieces indoors.

What made you start making Moss Art? Liz started making Moss Boxes in 2020, during the pandemic. "Being a nurse during COVID means wildly stressful times. Amidst the chaos, I was looking for some sort of hobby, to take me away and also bring me back to the present moment. I wanted to zone out and make something beautiful. I also wanted natural art to stare at in my home to reduce stress. What you see is the result of a burntout Nurse finding peace through making Moss Boxes in her shed. And once I started, I havn't been able to stop. I have a passion for making Moss art. Check out my Instagram @denvermosscreature
