Self critique

[JudyB]

It's not really the case though. I am just realizing once again that what I have created and what I want to create are two different things. I have purchased a couple nicer trees this year and now I'm bored with my pencil thin straight sticks.
I still like my root cuttings though.
When I started coming here I was afraid to wire a tree. For 5 years I didn't wire.
I am on a better path now it just took forever.

I think what you're experiencing is a natural progression for anyone who has moved into the intermediate stage of bonsai. Good for you.
I know that was how my progression went anyway...

Well there they all are. Still a full house after eliminating 7 of the lesser projects. I started 2 new projects and made 2 new purchases.
I look forward to focusing on more heavy growth next spring. They will go outside from now on. The last month I put half outside and got an explosion of new growth.
I worked on those today and will put some back outside until temps drop.View attachment 208429

They all look better than mine.

Thanks. I agree.
