My wisteria pergola this May, 2012. It creates a wonderful shelter in my garden for birds and insects, as well as humans! It is all enclosing, a retreat from the world.
I used mists, inks and molding paste in this attempt to capture the lovely drape-y, sheltered, mysterious feeling that emanates from wisteria.

	By Wilmavoermans 19-Oct-12 So funny, I always look at this one,even showed it to one of my boys.

But the funny thing: I forgot to put it in my favorites, so do that now.
