How To Make Wheat Paste

real friends are nice to the environment; thus, we use eco friendly glue when making paper collages or leaving interactive lists in trees.

wheat paste breaks down eventually, and is easier to remove (try to look at this as a positive- think of it from the buildings point of view). the best thing about is that its cheap and easy to make, either with heat or without. Heated type is smoother and more durable, but I'll put the non-heat recipe in case you live in a cardboard box somewhere. It happens.

WHAT YOU NEED:-3 tbsp white flour
-1 cup water
-1 container with lid
-spoon
-brush
-poster paper/whatever you're going to glue

First- pour flour into container and start adding water. Stir until it starts gettin' gluey. Test it to make sure you can spread it around before using, and ALWAYS cover with a lid to prevent it from drying out.

THEN- paint the surface (wall, mailbox, sidewalk, whatevs) with a layer of paste. Smooth poster on top of it, and make sure you get the corners. Brush a thin layer over for weatherproofing.

there you have it! the basics. plus, mother nature likes it.
if you want the heated recipe (which is the recommended method) just ask and I'll post it.

welcome to the watering hole.

What Is Guerilla Art?
"The stereotype of the guerilla artist is someone who makes extremist work and who is constantly on the run from the law...I would like to expand the concept and define guerilla art as any anonymous work (including but not limited to graffiti, signage, performance, addictions, and decoration) installed, performed, or attached in public spaces, with the distinct purpose of affecting the world in a creative or thought provoking way"- Keri Smith, street art enthusiast and author of The Guerilla Art Kit

Although many artists have a strong message of political/social importance, guerilla art is (for me) a way of reclaiming my environment.

I have not taken pictures of many of my movements, but I will from now on. I encourage the rest of you to do the same, so as to inspire the artists around them.

Guerilla art is free, accessible, and for everyone.
