While I was researching braiding/fusing plants, I ran across an article that suggested that purple passion is a good subject for indoor topiary.

Since I have a good sized purple passion that got me to thinking. Especially when it tried to pry the hook out of the wall that was supporting its pot. It can't continue the way it is going or it is going to take up the entire window ledge and I'm running out of space there as it is.

So can anyone think of what I might use to make an interesting shape for my topiary purple passion project?

I know what I want for this. I want a blue glazing ball and alittle wire for an invisible stand. That's purfect and it will go with the decor. Woohoo one project ready to go.

Woohoo I did it. It's not a glazing ball but a little cobalt blue vase sitting in the middle of the purple passion vines being held up by them. Or so it seems lol. I added a little water to the vase so the vines don't knock it out of the planter and so it can double as a humidifier. I love it when a plan comes together. Woohoo.
