Festival international de bonsaï 2011

Found these Short clips on You Tube. Each is a clip of an individual tree on display at the Festival international de bonsaï 2011. Worth a few minutes of anyones time. It’s also worth looking through some of his other videos. His Dexter Intro is superb 🙂

The next installment

The next instalment of The Bonsai Art of Japan is out, nice work on a Chinese Juniper in the second half of the video. Click below to watch as usual.

Bonsai Fast Forward

I posted this on Facebook Yesterday and thought I better add it here as well.

Below is a link to conceptnintynine Youtube Channel. Just click on the image. If you look through the most recent uploads you will find a few excellent videos showing Viet Luan Tran restyling some Chinese Junipers at high speed. The one with the photoshop beginning is excellent.

Drunk Yamadori Hunters!!

This was shared on one of the forums and I just had to add it here.

Two Hungarian blokes absolutely pissed trying to move a big tree stump. Not really yamadori but it makes the video more topical 😀

Just click on the screen shot below to view on YouTube.

Art of Bonsai in Japan 10

Happy days, I thought they had switched to Japanese Gardens 😀

This is a great one looking at Japanese White Pine. Interesting to hear how they feed them to control needle length in Japan.

Olive Carving By Kevin Willson

If you haven’t already come across the Kevin Willson Carving videos on Bonsai Basho, you should give them a look.

Not much chat past the first episode but interesting to see his technique all the same.

Here’s a link to Basho’s You Tube Channel. Just click the image below.

Exhibit Critique – Ryan Neil

I found these on You Tube, via ‘ofbonsai Magazine’.

I loved them and I’m sure everyone watching them will find them interesting. They show Ryan Neil doing a tree critique at the Mid West Bonsai Society Show. Each one is over 30 minutes long but they fly through. Very interesting to hear a Westerner balancing what he has learned in Japan with what he likes in Western Bonsai.

Well done also to the Mid West Bonsai Society for putting on an excellent show for us to see. Isn’t the internet fantastic? 🙂

Just click on the images below to see the videos on You Tube.

New Videos while I was away

I spent an hour last night catching up on some of my favourite YouTube Video Channels. I always like to add the ones I liked here. Here’s four Links, two for the Art of Bonsai in Japan Series (it only gets better) and the latest two from Graham Potter.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

The Bonsai Art of Japan Episode 5

Just Uploaded to You Tube today, the latest episode of the Bonsai Art of Japan.

My favourite bit has to be the female voice over. How high a note can you hit when you say ‘SANDPAPER!!’  Love it 🙂

Mr Fujikawa, ciggie in mouth, is also a touch of  genius 🙂 Great to have the actual master taking part in the videos. Click on Mr Fujikawa below to watch the video.
