Well, I wouldn't completely discount the blue rug juniper for bonsai. Yes, it's not a traditionally used species, and you wouldn't see one at kokufu, but they can become a cascade or semi-cascade bonsai very easily. And it will give you something to practice on, as you said.

I would recomend washing out the roots and potting it in good bonsai soil in a slightly larger pot. Next year, if it is doing well, you can start on styling.
