The contest details and prizes will be announced soon, but if you'd like to get started you can visit a craft store and pick up some materials to practice with.If you have any immediate questions, please let me know.
Regards, Matt

Now this aught to be a fun contest. Pipe cleaners and a bit of imagination is all that is required.
Heck I might even enter.
Here is one that I did at one of our club meetings. Not a hard thing and it was a lot of fun to do. |

Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty. MP@BBB Studio |

What happened to winter? Is it April allready?
I have an account at the bonsai nursery, now I have to open a new one at the craft store? Whats my wife going to say? What if this gets out to other club members I pal around with? Will I be ostricized? Do pipe cleaners turn your fingers green? Do I have to buy brown ones for the trunk or do I buy white ones and color them with rit dye to get custom artistic colors? I think the pots should be made from graham crackers glued together with chocolate genache filled with crushed oreo dirt. Any other ideas? ak
