Nice job. I have a pot from him that is very similar.

Great little tree! Love playing around with ficus cuttings. Question though, did you do anything to get that texture on the trunk in the pic from October, or is that natural? Either way, it's an impressive gnarly lil trunk!

Cheers

Thanks, yes I have slowly been carving the texture into it.

Had boxes of these as a kid and recently learned that they originated in Japan as collectable erasers called Kinkeshi.
Do you still have them? I collect them.

It’s a M.U.S.C.L.E. Man, toy from the 80’s
Ah, nice, I don't think I've seen a non-pink one.

I have a complete series 1 of Monster in my Pockets - similar type of figure.
