I remember reading this a while back, just re read it and found it just as meaningful.
With all the design related talk going on at the minute in a couple of threads, this may be a timely reference.

Re: Artistic Foundations of Bonsai Design
Thanks Andrew,
Cannot read right now, i have saved the link and will read very soon.
Thanks also for the strainer link too, they'll be sold out next time you order. 5 - 7 years before they begin to perish, that's incredible for a kitchen polymer.
