Artificial -> Natural by Morte, Creepy McFeely, Cristos Bryer

The I took an old wicker table that had been hanging around in the yard for some reason and put it in between the two chairs.
I've been training nightshade to grow around the three things, so hopefully come next spring they will be covered. As I've been pulling and killing off the morning glories I've been weaving them around the frames in order to provide a better scaffolding for the nightshade to adhere to. Creepy McFeely and Cristos Bryer have been helping me weave and pull, as we all want something cool and weird in our back yard.
I'll keep updating pictures of this as it progresses.

For the Devils Concubine, maybe?

Agreed.
It's already voteworthy, but I want to see how it turns out later on in the process. Because this is pretty brilliant.
I will be taking pictures on a weekly basis, or thereabouts, of how it progresses. My hope is that by next spring the chairs and table will be completely covered and possibly able to support weight. I also have plans for shelves and mirrors attached to the fence, and even though you can't really see it in these pictures, there are two hanging lamps on either side of the table and two tiki sconces on either side of the chairs. I want it to look like a living room set made out of vines...
I didn't know if this would count as the framework that I'm using is artificial, but I figured if it didn't someone would point it out tout suite.
People generally seem more inclined to forgive a slight bending of what it says in the task description when the contents of the praxis are this awesome.
kudos! cant wait to see how it turns out it already looks amazing...are you planning on adding more to it? perhaps...turn your whole backyard into a devil dining room? and why are you getting rid of the morning glories? the devil loves to get high
Well, the back yard is going to get dug up at some point in order to run more electric to the garage, so I'm concentrating on the borders for now. As to why the morning glories must die, look here. Besides, I'm covering it in Deadly Nightshade, which grows wild all over the area and is, as its name suggests, very deadly. Another name for nightshade is 'the Devil's cherries' as apparently the berries are as sweet as they are poisonous, so I thought it was appropriate.
I'm told that if you prepare them properly, nightshade berries aren't poisonous and are delicious. I've heard stories of delicious nightshade jelly, for example.
I would not personally feel confident attempting to make such a thing, or to eat such a thing until I'd seen people try it safely. But if you can find out, for sure, how to safely consume them, it sounds like the reward you give yourself for doing so might be pretty awesome.
I already dance on the edge of that one by brewing my own absinthe, so I think I'll stick with perfecting the green fairy before I try any devils brews.
brewing your own absinthe? that has got to complete some task. care to share your recipe? +experiences with the fairy?
they do look rather...devlish. try giving the morning glories baths, maybe some of the chemicals on them are whats causing your dog to be allergic?
my friend ate morning glory seeds before(incase you didnt know...the seeds contain LSA..a natural LSD) but he didnt wash the stuff they put on it to make it grow and got really sick.
I wish it was that easy. No chemicals on them, he's allergic to the pollen and the bark dust. Confirmed by the vet, along with cystic benign tumors. Well, I knew about the tumors before the allergies, but still. I'm just trying to make his last years on this planet good ones, and having to deal with weeping sores all over his skin would detract from that. The poor thing's already been through enough. So, on into the fray.
well then my wishes he will enjoy his last few years.
What a wonderful idea! I hope you'll update this as the plants grow and the furniture becomes more natural. :)
