DRUŽINA

I am so busy this days ... Working with bonsai means a refuge where I finally find peace. Even if I teach. I have a lot of workshops this days. "You are so calm, you have a lot of patience with explaining things," lady Zovko praised me. 

Zovko's are very interesting family. They breath as one: parents, son and daughter, son in law, everybody were present at basic workshop which was first meant just for parents. And they all enjoyed. Really interesting and nice atmosphere ... We worked on small taxus and we learned all basic skills.

Te dni se komaj dohajam. Zato mi delo z bonsaji še bolj kot običajno pomeni zatočišče miru, ko končno lahko zadiham. Tudi če učim. In delavnic, tečajev za začetnike v teh dneh ne manjka. "Joj kako ste mirni, kako potrpežljivo razlagate," mi je pihala na dušo gospa Zovkova. 

Zovkovi so zelo zanimiva družina. Dihajo kot eden: starša, sin in hčerka, tast in vsi so prisosotvovali tečaju, ki sta si ga sicer privoščila gospod in gospa, in uživali. Res neobičajno a zelo prijetno vzdušje ... Delali smo na mali tisici in osvojili osnovne veščine.

Last time in Trzic I was working on Juniperus chinensis. I was dealing with dead wood. Step by step. Juniperus is coming nicely. Now I let him grow a little so it gain on compact crown. Next year I'll pinch it a lot. Next spring I'll re-pot it in first bonsai pot.

Jaz sem zadnjič v Tržiču na klubski delavnici delal na kitajskem brinu. Oblikoval in urejal sem le suh les. Korak za korakom. Brin lepo napreduje, zdaj mu pustim nekoliko bolj bujno rasti, da bo pridobil na kompaktnosti krošnje, drugo leto pa pride na vrsto bolj striktno vršičkanje. Spomladi bo presajen v prvo posodo.
