Hope I am not too late!

Just a quick little sketch of a crazy radical vision for fun :)

I chose Picture Spruce04 to be my front.

The lowest right branch with the strange bulge, will be transformed into a jin.
The top left branch will be a nice short jin (the winds have torn at it!)
The apex will be pulled down (it does look flexible enough...) and interwoven around the deadwood.

I am not sure if ramification can be so minute for a spruce...

Sorry for the delay, there was a death in the family, and a subsequent funeral.

I will get onto it straight away.

Regards,
Leigh.

Wont be long - just getting over some teething problems. Not having all judges on line at the same time has proven for some delays in communication.

Ok guys, here it is!

Thanks for your patience.

The winnner this month is Boomy with his great sketch.
The judges would also like to mention Jarryd's and DavidN's entries as being outstanding.

It is very difficult to decide a winner, as all entries show great thought, vision, and effort.
I would love to give away more stuff, if only I was more wealthy.

Boomy, congratulations!
Make a choice from the prize cupboard and PM me your address.

Next month we will be implementing a new "judging process" to make things run smoother and get the results to you all faster.
A first place and prize winner will be announced, and a 2nd and 3rd place will be announced.

Again, congrats Boomy.

Cheers,
Leigh.
Cheers,
Leigh.
