Post your WORST bonsai

Comedy of errors. Bought this juniper a few years ago. Thought I had a plan. Plan didn't work. Jinned a branch. Didn't work. Grew slow. Planted in ground. Managed to break jinned branch with hose. Dug up. Potted. Looked again. Had NEW plan. Chopped branches. Wired. Still not sure where I'm going with it. Windswept. Maybe make a broom. REAL broom. To SWEEP with.

Arrrrhh......

Kazoo, HOPE IS NOT LOST. This may be your worst tree but it still has some potential. I wish you could post a bigger pic so that we might give you some potential designs.

(running, screaming, panting in a dark corner.....) THAT is SCARY. You gotta do some good work in the world to balance that karma, Pootsie.

Yipes.

This is going to be a fun thread!!

I thought this is a pretty good impression of Shiva, the Hindu God.

That red wire looks, at first glance, like arteries running up the tree.... like it's been flayed.

What finally killed it? Hiding its nakedness indoors? Being teased shamelessly by the other trees? Sheer ennui?

That is scary pootsie and this is a fun thread, here is my offering, originally styled at an exhibition in birmingham in 1992 by suchin ee as a young cutting, it has gone through all sorts of manisfestations over the years without ever really growing much. Its now planted on a stone, I,ll post a pic when wired up.
