Juniper procumbens

Nice first steps - it is starting to look convincing.

If you don't mind a couple of suggestions:
- You could double the top two branches over hard, to cover the trunk just a little - it's awfully bare and open underneath them.
- The two sharp angles to the left in the trunk are great. You might like to put some sharper, closer angles further down, to harmonise with these two. The curve in the last third is a bit wide and open.
- If you look, all the curves at the moment are sitting in one flat plane sloping towards the viewer. I know I'm being picky, but if you bend the trunk forwards and backwards a bit, it will become three-dimensional, and more alive. More action, more fun.

Or you can tell me to go and get knotted, and do your own thing. Good start, please keep posting.

Hahaha loved the end of this!!!

All good suggestions mate and will take all of the advice on board.

I have plans to make it more 3d looking but due to its position when i purchased it i didnt want to push it to far

***Update***

Have applied a few more bends and as suggested by Gavin i have tried to go more "3d" with my bending...

Starting to really take the shape i was hoping for i have twisted up the first branch for a jin and the second has been stood up to form a conopy (will add more bends to mirror the trunk)

Going to try and find a pot to suit it over the next few weeks and repot it

As always any critique or advice is welcomed
