MIHATISA

Yesterdays workshop was great experience even though Steven Tolley could not come to Slovenia. And all who didn't come should be sorry. I was working on Taxus which Miha gave me. Only for designing of course. Miha is a special character but I love him anyway. Yew was not a promising tree, this is a material which I am not interested in: not enough movement, too hard brunches which were dictated a design. But I was enjoying working on it anyway.

Kljub temu, da Steve Tolley ni mogel dopotovati v Slovenijo, je bila včerajšnja delavnica lepo doživetje. In tistim, ki so manjkali, je lahko žal. Delal sem na tisi, ki mi jo je v obdelavo prinesel Miha. Miha - poseben karakter. Ne razumem ga čisto dobro, a to ne pomeni, da ga nimam rad. Tisa ni obljubljala veliko, materijal, ki me ne zanima več: premalo gibanja, pretrde veje, ki so že same po sebi narekovale dizajn. Ampak sem vseeno užival.

This is a tree after shaping. Skeleton is set. now Miha must concentrate on pinching a new growth. And next year he could re-pot it in first bonsai pot.

Tako drevo zgleda po prvem oblikovanju. Okostje je postavljeno, zdaj pa se bo moral Miha posvetiti skrbnemu vršičkanju. In že naslednje leto jo bo lahko presadil v bonsajsko posodo.

P.S.: I was using a lot of wire, a lot! ;-)

P.S.: Žice sem pa porabil, žice! ;-)
