Getting Started

I finally got my material in the mail and can start working.
I've learned about that I need to be careful in cutting the wire all the same length.  I've also learned how to shape the leaves.  I've made my first whole tree.  The more I do it the better I get.  I've learned that I like working with sculpting because I've never done that before. 

So, next I plan to make another tree and perfect it.  Next week I'm going to experiement how to anchor the tree to get it in the pot.

Planting the Bonsais

This week I learned more about how I want to plant the trees in the pots.  At first, I glued the metal roots to a rock and then glued that to the pot.  But I found that it took way too much glue and that the tree wobbles.  I learned that I have a lot of patience for things I like to do.  That isn't the same when I don't like  doing the things. Next I'm going to cut styrofoam pieces and mount the tree to that before putting it the pot.  My plan for next week is to make a new tree with the styrofoam mount for my dad for his birthday.
