This cork bark has just about finished dropping leaves. Some adjustments required now I can see what’s been going on all year. Watch this space.
Step one on this little Larch was an easy one. The removal of the rock. I can now get a better look at what’s on offer and make a few decisions about future options.
Well they will be warmer in their new home with Jose in Tenerife 🙂

Myself and Phil are on our travels in January all being well. We are popping down to Cork, Munster, to run a demo and workshop with the newly formed Munster Bonsai Club, part of the bonsai Ireland group. I’m really looking forward to it.
If you are viewing from Ireland, please give Piotr a shout and get booked in, even just for the Friday night perhaps. It’s so important that we all support him and Adam with the new club. Everyone has been crying out for one for years, now it’s here it needs to grow and your support is vital. If this workshop is a success then other will be planned for later in 2014.

What immediately struck me about Peter was his artistic ability. Its one thing to see his beautiful sketches in Bonsai Focus but to see him create these amazing drawings in person, and so quickly, was really inspiring.
