I won a Large Ficus Bonsai in a raffle

I have a small idea what I want to do to it...

It's not a lot... but in three weeks I'm going to defoliate it and then I can plan better. :3


Also... this is a good compareson shot...

It's a beast.

I have no idea where I am going to keep this thing in the winter.

Going to a Bonsai Club meeting

Seriously, if you are just getting into the art or if you have only
been reading about it for years, you need to go to a bonsai club
meeting. You have no idea how fun it was to talk, see and touch real
trees and theories.

I have problems with the whole wire wrapping thing. I make jewlery but
when wrapping branches I start to panic. This class/meeting I went to?
It helped so much.

And yes, I got a tree at the class.

They just started having a bonsai club at my local dojo and I need to
join. :3 I think they are working with the Buffalo Bonsai Club but I'm
not totally sure yet. I'm swinging by tonight to find out for certian.

And when I go I am taking my grape vine 'pre-bonsai' attempt with me.
The instructor from my class was intrested in seeing it because he
haden't seen one before.
