article: Where you gather the moss is important because the kind that grows on trees won't necessarily do well on walls. Look to fences, pavement, damp brick walls, and cement walkways to harvest your moss. If you choose to buy moss, opt for the species called entodon or baby tooth because they grow best on concrete and other vertical surfaces. Moss from the woods doesn't work as well and should be left in the wild. You can buy moss from nurseries or online sources who grow it commercially. Avoid hypnum, moss, peat moss, and dried moss because these varieties either can't be made into a paint or won't grow well on vertical surfaces. If you don't see moss growing anywhere in your area, the moss paint probably won't work in your climate.

This is especially the case if your lifestyle includes being away from home for long periods of time. It can be stressful to own certain pets if you travel a lot or work long hours outside of the home. Large, active pets like cats and dogs need to socialize and be socialized. Being home alone all day can negatively impact your pet's emotional and physical well-being. You may need to hire a pet-sitter, bring your pet to a "pet daycare," or choose a pet that can be home alone for long hours. Even though the pet may be yours, it's necessary that everyone in your home agrees to having a pet. A pet, especially one that is young or has special needs, can be stressful and hard to handle for everyone in the home. If you have a large family with many children or you're in a living situation with many people, it's important you make sure everyone in the home is ready to have a pet as well. Find out if you or anyone is allergic to a certain animal. Moderate allergies to pets can be controlled but severe allergies can pose dangerous health risks. If you are uncertain if you or someone has pet allergies, visit an allergist to help you determine if anyone is allergic to a certain animal. Having pets when there are young children or pregnant people in the home can be difficult. A pet may experience high levels of stress with little children around or the addition of a new pet can put a strain in the lives of a family that is expecting. If you're renting or living in an apartment, condo, or town home, it's very likely your building will have rules as to what kind of pet you are able to have. Many buildings allow smaller pets but not larger ones. Some may not allow certain animals regardless of its size and some will allow pets if a damage deposit is paid. Check with your landlord or building management for rules about the specific species, breed, and size of pet that you're allowed to have. Get permission in writing and have your lease or contract updated. Word of mouth or permission granted vocally is often unreliable. Written proof can come in handy if you run into problems later on. Check your municipal, county, or provincial laws if you're planning to own an exotic animal or if you are importing an animal. If you're importing an animal from outside the country, check with airlines and Customs or Port Authority on the necessary paperwork and quarantine procedures for animals coming from the source country. These regulations can change between borders without notice at any given time, depending on health regulations. Some pets need large open spaces to live in. Most pets can live in small homes as long as they have the opportunity to go outside or have plenty of indoor stimulation through play or interaction with others. Keeping a pet can be more expensive than you realize. Make sure that you are in a financially stable situation. You must be able to afford to take care of a pet's needs: its food, supplies, toys, and healthcare. You may need to save for: Vet appointments. With any pet, regular health checks done by your veterinarian is important. If you're thinking about owning an exotic animal, you may need to find specialized veterinarians that are experienced in caring for them. Vaccinations and other preventive medications.

You may also choose to protect your pet by giving them monthly preventative medications that protect them from fleas, heartworm, and other parasites. Neutering. Unless you're a breeder, most pets that are mammals like dogs, cats, horses, and rats, will need to go through an operation to be neutered or spayed. Having your pet fixed helps keep your pet healthy by preventing unwanted pregnancies and other health concerns such as cancer. Neutering also improves your pet's quality of life. Unfixed pets face behavioral problems that can cause stress to both you and your pet. Accidents and illnesses. When your pet is ill or gets into an accident, treatment can be extensive both mentally, physically, and financially. You will need to prepare for costly vet bills in case of emergencies.

Food, toys, and grooming supplies will be need to be regularly purchased by you. Training and daycares. Some pets will need to attend obedience or training classes. Some pets can't be left unattended and will need to be put in daycares or other facilities that care for them while you're away.

Write an article based on this "Decide the type of band you want to be in. Hire the members who will play for your band. Choose some songs to start having band rehearsals. Agree on your material."
article:
Music is made up of a multitude of genres. Rock, blues, hip hop, pop, and country are just touching the surface of what those genres are. Figure out which sound best defines the band you hope to be in. Ask yourself what genres you enjoy playing the most and who you hope your target audience will be. Will your audience rock out while doing mosh pits? Will your audience be mellow and sway to your songs as you play in tiny coffee shops? Decide on the instruments you will have to use. A good start: lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and drums. You may want a keyboardist, sax, or brass, depending on what sort of music you'll be wanting to play. How many people will it take for your vision of your band to come to life? Allow the sound you're hoping to create act as your guide. There are ways to get into contact with the right people even if you are unfamiliar with your local music scene. You can begin auditions as soon as you find people you think could fit the bill. Go to school talent shows or open mic nights to get into contact with local artists in their environment. This will help you get a taste of what they have to offer musically by listening to some of their original stuff. A quicker, more technologically-savvy alternative is posting an ad on Facebook, Twitter, or even Instagram. Say something simple like: "Musician looking for an all female band to play with professionally. DM me for more details." It's not important to do your own material at first. Start playing together and find out if you have good chemistry as a band. Plan on a time when all members can attend rehearsals. Plan to have rehearsals at least one time per week. If you can squeeze out one or two more times, that would be perfect. It might sound counterproductive to start with covers, or playing other people's material, but it's a great way to see what you gravitate towards collectively and as a group. This will help give you a direction of the kind of music you hope to be doing moving forward as a band. Encourage everyone who wants to write to write songs instead of delegating that task to one person. Over time, you will begin to agree who should do the biggest part of your band's songwriting. Keep your ego in check always. Nobody wants to be your backup band - if it's an ensemble, let it remain a collaborative effort. When you first start creating, think of your message and the things you're trying to say when you put your music out there to the world. Use guitar tab websites and other tutorials to help you push yourself musically with instruments and get better ideas of how to put music together as you arrange and develop your lyrics. Constantly push yourself.
