Mudmen in a bonsai planting certainly cheapen the artistic effect. But I have seen them used as an accent item in shows which can work very well if they are of good quality.
I hope to see what you come up with. It sounds very interesting to me!On a slightly more serious note.. I’ve been considering ruins, wells, bridges, temples, teepees and other native american structures (made from clay) in North American miniaturized landscapes featuring TinyTrees!
I love the one that looks like bricks with trees growing out of it. Perfectly combines my appreciations of trees and architecture.@Michael P — Thanks for mentioning Nick Lenz’s work!!! Great stuff, I think the architectural ruin might be my favorite....

I think its neat how moss is taking over the pot (I'm pro moss too haha)!Top shelf of one of my benches in partial shade this guy has been contemplating life for a while. Both rocks and mudmen. View attachment 371498
I too love moss. It softens the edges and gives the feeling of a little age. I just keep it off the trunks of my trees.I think its neat how moss is taking over the pot (I'm pro moss too haha)!
Couldn't find this right away figured it was worth a share. Someone at a local club used a fox recently and I thought it worked too.And these turn up too —View attachment 371331
