Display experiment
I'm working on displays for the Sei Boku Bonsai Kai show this coming weekend.
As this juniper is somewhat avantgard, a scroll in the same vein seems appropriate. The first image shows the origin of the scroll. Its a Chinese "sunrock". or "moonstone", whichever you prefer. I photographed the stone, as the first image shows. and then worked it over in Photoshop until I achieved the desired impression. Then it was printed and attached to the shikishi, or scroll card. This juniper, which stands 38 inches from the pot rim, was landscape collected about 20 years ago. It's been extensively carved to the point where less than half the original wood still remains. Mike

thanks for the details. My inlaws will be in town, so I don't know if I'll be able to get away . . .
