The draft of a virtual according to the previous posting.
It may seem a bit eccentric, but it is just a draft and this picture is just a "screen-shot of my mind"
today. It will defenitly turn out different, but for me it is interesting to see the difference between
phantasy and reality, after the first maturing years of this marriage.
Virtual:
I decided trying to transform an old Taxus stump into a Tanuki.
The living part will be Taxus as well. The stump has been weathered for a couple of years outside in my
garden.
Then I gave it to a professional sandblasting company. Maybe I will make some changes and carvings
here and there, but by and large the basis will stay as it is now. The wire-cutter is placed as a scale.
Height: 50 cm, Nebari: up to 30 cm.
Picture:
Made this quickshot of my new J. sabina with my mobile, after the first styling-session.
Sorry for the bad quality. 'Have to put up my photo-equipment to do better fotos.
According to the design, I tried on a classic, maybe neo-classic, mainstream or whatever style ...
At present I am very captivated of the japanese styling-approach ...
And, as always, the tree looks by far more "3d-ish" in nature, than on this particular bad foto ...
