maple and beech again

more progress with yew #2

Some more progress with the yew.
The front has changed slightly again. The ugly wires around the foliage are, of course, only there to make work on deadwoode easier. The wire will go off completely soon. I do NOT plan to wire this year. The earliest time to wire will be around April/May next year if the tree looks happy then.
Also repotting will have to wait for spring next year although I would not touch the root ball anyway. Tomorrow more carving.

virtuals for European yew #2

The yew is featured in parallel to this blog in the German Fachforum (http://www.bonsai-fachforum.de/). So far I have got these illustrations as visions. Thank you all. I will do my best to reach your dreams.

Trident maple #1

Trident maple, Acer burgerianum

Japanese beech #2

Japanese beech, Fagus crenata

big rock for bonsai

dark lime stone, original, absolutely no marks of work, collected in southeast Europe, great for a large cascade or semi-cascade, lots of large holes for many roots. Excellent bonsai stone. heavy, about 30 kg.should be cut slightly to stand upright firmly. Not a big deal.

European yew #2 second part

Today I started to work on the yes.
While I made small adjustments on every image shown to many it is just not clear what happens. They only see a tremendous difference between the first and the last image. Try to find the subtle changes for yourself.
