The moss starter goes on pretty much clear. To make a quick moss starter, you'll need:
One or two clumps (about a small handful) of moss
2 cups of buttermilk
2 cups of water (or beer)
1/2 tsp. sugar
a blender
container with lid
paintbrush
How to:
1. Crumble the moss into the blender - try to remove any pebbles or insects you find.
2. Add the sugar, buttermilk, water or beer, and blend at the lowest speed until it has the consistency of a milkshake (add more water if necessary).
3. Paint the mixture onto rocks, logs, pots or statuary, or simply pour it on the ground wherever you'd like your moss to grow.
OR: Create some living graffiti. Paint your chosen design on any shaded, damp vertical or horizontal surface. Porous, moisture-retentive surfaces work best (brick, wood, coarse concrete).
The moss starter method works best if it is kept moist until well-established. A twice-weekly misting with a spray bottle is ideal.

Upon further review...
This works so well in the NW that an alternative is to write your message by removing the moss already growing everywhere ;~)
As an amusing side note, my mom read this and said you aint so hardcore cuz she saw Martha Stewart suggest the same thing ,altho Im guessing with different intentions!
