2 branches cascading?

[Jarath]

Sure thing. I am heading to Chicago this week visiting wife's family. Know of any great exhibits?

I am going to take my time with this juniper, probably going to Orlando to seek some guidance on styling it. I have heard of a few bonsai artists out there. My art specialty was in pottery and abstract art . Always had a flare for plants. Bonsai bug has bitten me and all I do is dream about it. Great illness.

Great illness

Sure is.....

And it's quite relaxing to hear of your arts and passion....I truly hope they combine well for you to do this thing justice!

Go mad slow! Take your time! Study mad trees! Watch all the YouTube videos from Bjorn..Bonsai Art of Japan.....watch and read everything from Walter Pall that you can......do the blog trail....you can start with a few members here....and after all that! You'll knock this out! You have the time!

I went to the show we had at the Chicago Botanical Garden in Glencoe....the permanent display is worth seeing.....though I don't know how much is displayed through winter....
Beautiful place!

Thanks for sharing....and I apologize again for freaking out!

Hmmm... I see something in your future that mixes your pottery skills with bonsai. Possible $$$

Haha! These kind of posts bother the shit out of me too.

Now....I gotta know who Juniper is....

I think there are many Great artists....
But "The" Great One started a thread about the Ballsy one.

Let's face it.......there IS only one BALLSY one.

This is a great way to piss people off I reckon...
But it's a great excersize in....

I knew it had to do with old electronics and angels!


Hmmm... Lets see who 'Juniper' is. Mr. Juniper always posts crazy juniper creations- harsh bends, big splits, and beaucoups of raffia.


Pretty ballsy if you ask me.

 

[sorce]

Pretty ballsy if you ask me

You're right..... I agree with you...

But defined as Ballsy for tree..

I refer to Ballsy for humans.

I don't like talking about people like this who are here like they arent here!
It's rude....

But....now we know I know that so it's back to "reading everything" and "cool kids" again!

I guess it's only fair to REnote......I got mad respect for EVERYONE HERE.....

But we have to stay Conciense of...
Progression......
reality....
ability....
challenges....
time......
increments.....
change...
excellence...

Or we may as well skip All talk of progressing American Bonsai!

Sorry Sorce, but this post completely lost me.

Actually apon further review it now makes sense.

Too turnt!

 

[M. Frary]

....I would totally pay to get professional assistance.

I think health insurance will cover it.

Even if it meant flying someone in.

Just to cut a couple branches off?

Whether or not the bonsai is on display, their Japanese garden is worth seeing.

My wife found it for me as a gift.

Is that her in the Avatar?
Give her another hug for this one!

I would be more apt to throw some wire on both...and create something unique. And turn it a bit to show off a bit of the trunk making a new front. If it's not to late...I would want a virtual before doing any major decisions.

I like both cascades. After a nights sleep, I decided to keep both.

There is someone here that has actually displayed unusual multiple cascades in shows @johng. I am not certain how long the development was on his but it seems to me it took a bit of time. If I recall correctly he did it for the pleasure of doing it and not with the intention of it winning any award. Myself I thought it was a great looking piece. Go with your plan but looking closely I must say be patient and careful with your design.

Sure thing. I am heading to Chicago this week visiting wife's family.

Don't drink the water

Cut both off. You have the bones of a nice tree there.

 

[just.wing.it]

I vote C. Cut both.

maybe a multi-trunk with one cascading....but not multiple cascades...

 

[johng]

while it was still in a pot and before it went on the stone...all anyone could say was cut off that cascading branch...
