The passion vine from H*LL has been slowly eating the barn for several years now. The door opening is about 6.5 ft tall, and the vine itself actually extends another 8 or 10 feet across the roof to the right. Where it was trying to climb in my bedroom window! In the second view you can clearly see the head height of the deer. That would be the clear lower area where they've grazed and eaten all the plant. Yes, deer like passion vine. A LOT.... The majority of the vine is now in a pile, although most of the side where the deer have grazed is still attached to the barn. I need to finish separating it from the evergreen clematis, rose, and jasmine it has totally engulfed.

Oh heck yeah that thing keeps going all winter, but our winters are very mild compared to most. We rarely get frost and a hard killing freeze is almost unheard of here. That is actually 3 years (or more) of growth. I missed cutting it back last winter when it was due, oops!

Clay has always fascinated me, its many colors and textures, the shapes you can create using it, even the feel of it squishing in my hand. Even after years of playing in the mud I find myself exploring new ideas and I hope my work shows this. Archives
