the_joy_of_transformation_part_two

 Same game, different tree.

Again a Juniperus Squamata 'Holger' (i guess). 

I am not quiet sure about the name of this particular species. 

Please leave a comment if you know more about this Juniper-variant.

Mister Jens Ringe from "Bonsaikunst Hamburg" helped me with the heavy bendings 

of the new truncline. 

The last picture again shows the blending of the raw-material with the tree as of today.

Within this picture the part of the original-state is a bit blanched in order to differ the two stages.

the_joy_of_transformation_part_one

 Worked on this Juniper a couple of days before. 

I am reasonably satisfied with the result, if  you take the speed of the development into account. 

I am trying to display that in the third picture, wich is a blending of the actual state of the tree into the 

state of  December 2020.

And please bear in mind that this had been the very first serious styling-session for this tree ...

update_blauwii_juniper

 It is my oldest tree by the way. I bought this one in 1997 at a nursery.-

I spent lots of houres for fine-wiring. but i am  not satisfied with the design yet.

The pads have to develope more character.

first_styling_yew_#4

 The first styling-session on yew No. 4..

There are maybe too less negative spaces yet, therefore the tree loks a bit too dense.

The leaf-pads appeare not that sharply worked out as well.

I will improve that in the near future after the yew astablished again and regained strengh.

The deadwood_stump will be worked on next spring.
