Love some advice on Scheffleria

Hey people, been working with scheffleria's for about 3 years now , but truth be told, I don't know a lot of different styles my tree can be formed in. It has a pretty good size to it and would look great in a pot that i have. After you get the design you want, is it just a matter of growing it as large as it can get? I know it is all about the eye of the beholder, but i would love some feedback on where this design can go.

In the search type in Schefflera (note the correct spelling) you will see about two dozen examples. Then do the same thing with a google image search but change the search to "Schefflera bonsai." __________________ Bonsai Barry "Our talent lies in our choices."
