As I mentioned I have a habit of saving some of the dead material for future projects..I’d like to tell you about one.

I happen to come across a 3 tree serssia forest that I grew from cuttings that dried up last winter because I missed watering one weekend.

I panned through my small collection of pots and noticed a patterned white pot.

Winter scene? Hmmm…

While watching the Lions stumbling through another 4th quarter (another story). I repotted the dried serssia forest . After which I used craft spray snow to cover the trees. Hoping to complete the winter scene.

I’m not saying that that this little winter scene is bonsai. To me you need a live tree(s) for that.

I’m definitely not saying that this little winter scene is as skillfully crafted as the brunt forest I saw at MABA2000, because its not.

I’m not even saying that this little winter scene is artistically sound, because its not. There are a lot of problems with this little winter forest. Spacing between the trees is to symmetric. The primary tree trunk perspective is not correct. The primary trunk needs to be thicker, etc, etc.

But you know…its in my office at work and makes a nice little decoration.

Your thoughts…
