I have decided to split the Sunday Workshop into two parts. This one will have general shots and some showing the progress of other participants trees. I have more to say about my own tree and also Phil’s one, so I’ll do that separately.
I’ve put the photos together as best I can. Most were taken by Ben as I was busy wiring, but they’ll give you a feel for the day.
First is Peter H’s very tasty Spruce. Nice to meet Peter who fitted in well with a pretty mad bunch that Sunday. He even admitted to following this blog!
Before shot

mad movement, love it!

Ryan’s works at pulling the top closer into the trunk to disguise the ‘circle’ gap.

Shari added on the one bit with younger bark.

Peter hard at work wiring

The end result


Mike Box, or Boxie had this scot’s pine with him. Mike is an old friend and was a great addition for us at the workshop. Never a dull moment. 🙂








Scary!!


Boxie’s end result

It’s all go

We did stop for lunch though

Sue’s little Juniper. We didn’t get a photo of her Black Pine. Ben really was slack in his photo duties 🙂

Caz, on her Willowbog comeback working on her Itogawa Juniper. Again, no other photos of this tree.

It was a great day. Caz and Sue left sharp as there was worries about getting home with roads starting to flood. But a few of us stayed to the bitter end. One minor alteration made to save any more drama, you know who you are 😀

Deep wet and cold! I would say we went slightly mad but I think we were like that to start with 🙂

So whenever we can come to visit, I can see the bonsai and the vampire-movie-lover I married can have some fun too! 😉

It all looks very peaceful but the reality was some of us were wiring for dear life. The reward was when Ryan placed the remaining branches and the final image was achieved.

Hi Peter, Good to see you here 🙂 Yes, photos don’t capture the frantic nature of those wiring way, and I was definitely one of them!!
