Ladybird (aka Helen Nodding). You might have already heard about her moss graffiti project, but she has other projects worth checking out. Interview here.

I had seen the moss graffiti project but not the others. I think the crack in the wall project is adorable.

Excellent post cali! She's a talented woman, thanks for the links. (I like the crack in the wall too)

moss graffiti . . . brilliant. i wonder (out loud) just how wet the wall must stay to make it work.

Ms. Ladybird sounds like a bit of a pagan, to me... good on her. :)

Cool post, cali.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm one of those who del.icio.us'ed her Moss Graffiti page, but never explored the rest of her work. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways!

One thing I liked, outside of her brilliant work, was a link to a site proclaiming "Pornstars Against War", who have this great slogan (in printable bumper-sticker form): "Blow Up Dolls, Not Countries".

Nice...

Here's the cache of the interview. Seems the server is being overhit.

Buttermilk works in place of beer. I have used buttermilk in a blender with patches of moss and then painted or sprayed it onto an area.

So charming. I'm never going to look at a crumbly brick wall the same way again.
