Mr. Al.

I couldn't agree with you more...There are no really valid excuses for NOT participating in this contest...What a brilliant idea…A contest where all participants have the opportunity to be on a level playing field, and show their ‘creative vision’ along with their ability to work with their hands…Two definite attributes needed to create good bonsai…

BTW, I don't know about other areas, but here in San Antonio the 'Hobby Lobby' stores are showing their support for this great contest by having all 'pipe cleaners' on sale for half price now through the proposed contest start date of July 15...

I will admit, I did purchase the 'standard' tree colors but did not make it home with any "pink, purple or yellow"...There is probably NOT going to be a "boug or azalea" entered in the contest by me...I also couldn't find "snake skin fabric or alligator rope" at "Hobby Lobby'...I had to settle for two and a half yards of 'leopard skin fabric' from 'Joanne Fabric Store', and 23 1/2 inches of 'foam rope' used to fill cracks before caulking from 'Home Depot', but it was probably cheaper...

I'm just glad that reporter character "Dirk Donught" wasn't around to see the other things purchased for this event...

Regards; and looking with anticipation to see the work and visions of the artists on this forum…
