Back on the benches.

After a wonderful day with Bjorn on Monday, I have recovered enough to do a little more work on one of the juniper's today.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

How it looked after the workshop.

Now after I did some work on the Shari that Bjorn suggested it has eliminated most of the inverted taper on the trunk. When the lime sulpher dries it will look a lot better.

My other juniper, back on display.

They can now have a good rest.

My workshop with Bjorn.

I cannot say in words how much I enjoyed my workshop with Bjorn and the final images of my two trees that were done on the day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

My main tree of the day, an Itoigawa juniper.

The image when done,much more compact.

The second tree, also an Itoigawa juniper.

Still a lot of work to do, but well on the way to becoming a very nice tree.

Pleased with the results, thanks Bjorn.

My thanks also to everyone involved in making the day so special.

Pots.

Six more pots that I bought from Elsebeth Bruun Ludvigsen at Europa.

Close up photos.

I love the finish on these pots.

Pots, one or two more.

Some more photos of my pot collection.

I think I need some more.

Filling up fast.

I really must curb myself from buying pots as my cabinet is fast filling up.

To some people it looks full, but I could still squeeze a few more in.

Cancelled.

I had some bad news this morning about the workshop with Bjorn this coming Saturday. Due to circumstances beyond our control the workshop cannot now take place, but has been rearranged for Monday, so I will have to cancel my Natter night so I can still go.

Sorry for anyone thinking of coming on Monday 16th Oct.

My tree for the workshop.

Back to reallity.

A lovely day today, with wind and rain and flood warnings all over the county, this is Cumbria.

This photo, just taken, not only shows the rain but also the Autumn colours on my trees.
