Peter Warren Shout Out!!

I’m Famous 😆

Two more videos just uploaded by ofbonsai Magazine. These two have Peter Warren doing the initial styling on a big Spruce at a demo in Chicago.

I will say that Peter’s demo’s are certainly all about being a teaching experience. Most would struggle to fill 2hours 30 minutes talking and styling at the same time.

However, at one point he did stray from the tree to give my good self a mention. Rather embarrassing really but at least I have it on tape that someone actually likes me !! If you don’t want to listen to all his pearls of wisdom you can skip straight to this best bit at 45 minutes into Part 2. 🙂

PART 1

PART 2

Not quite posted within minutes Peter but not too shabby either 😆 Wish I could have been there too…

Me stop posting…. NEVER!!

Peter Warren Show Critique Video

I really look it when someone videos these Show Critiques, better than most demo videos. Here’s Perter Warren having a wonder around a show waxing lyrical 🙂 Looking forward to having Peter as a house guest this October, I’m told he’s house trained!

Not sure why it’s in Black & White!

Omiya Bonsai Videos

A great video on YouTube looking at the Omiya Bonsai Village, it’s history and it’s famous gardens.

Might as well add a few others found in the same search.

Who Has the Time…

to watch an hour and a half long youtube video of a bonsai demo?

Me apparently 🙂 I can currently do precious little else!!

Most demo videos are full of bits you want to fast forward. I have tried to edit a few in my time to make them more watchable. This one however, showing Ryan Neil styling a Pinyon Pine, was well worth the time spent in watching. I am so looking forward to watching Ryan live at Willowbog in January. He passes on a stunning amount of relevant information during a session. Some great points made in this video about raffia, guy wires and dynamic design. Toss in some Kimura tales, and you have 84 minutes well spent. [ well about 70 in reality :-)]

Show Critique

Get the kettle on and then sit down and enjoy.I love watching this sort of show critique, especially when messers Neill and Noelanders know their stuff 🙂

It could have been worse!!

Here’s me bitching about all the rain and flooding and then I watched this after seeing a link on the Wee Trees Bonsai Forum. Mike from Miko Bonsai got hammered by golf ball size hailstones!!
