Shameless Plug.
GoFundMe...for Owen and ones effected by the fire.
Woke to see this devastating news...sharing the GoFundMe link. Which has a news link attached if one opens it. https://www.gofundme.com/f/kirkland-warehouse-fire-relief?utm_source=messenger&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1www.bonsainut.com
Owen was one of the first Japanese trained Professionals I learned to love while watching his Cameo's, Classic appearances, and narratives on Bjorn's Bonsai Art of Japan YouTube series.
Not only was he an integral part of what will remain one of the best Bonsai Series on the internet, but he is also one of the only guys to remain in constant contact with us here!
I won't get into how he started my moon watching, but by the time I met him at our show I was starstruck. So starstruck in fact, I almost failed to gather the information bombs he was dropping on me about material on the sales tables.
By the next time we met at the Dinner and Auction in 2018(?), we were chatting about the Pot project. Not too long after that I was wrapped up in creating a series of pots that I haven't yet been able to match the energy of.
Owen has been integral in my dedication to Pottery, which has brought more joy to my life than even Bonsai.
The power of this thread is amazing, it has kept me in awe since about page 4!
I want to utilize that energy to help my friend.
Thank You Kindly.

I feel you man, I wanted a desk plant. Came home with a ficus. Then I found nursery trees and thought it would be an awesome relatively cheap hobby. 15 trees and an addiction to conifers later, then all the supplies needed for them and it is no longer all that cheap. I also thought it would be a nice relaxing hobby to balance my hectic impatient work life. Now I have research and planning to do for 15 trees and I can't get myself to stop wanting more! Luckily that ticks my box for being motivated by learning.It started with an elm
