Casuarina Forest Yamadori

Post by wattynine »

This is a recently collected clump of trees, collected and completely untouched so they remain as they were in the wild.
There only 6 of them so in "real" terms not acceptable but we'll see how we progress.
I think I can make a fake seventh silhouette from one of the low branches, as I said we'll see, so early for this one.

so first of all, a glimpse of where they came from

That's a corker of a clump!
Its just going to get better, too....
It seems to me that, as it came to you with six trunks, six trunks is how it should remain...
I know the "rules" about odd numbers being more aesthetic, but those rules are there a guidelines, and this group works fine as it is!
That's what I think, anyway.
I'm usually much too busy admiring trees to count trunks!
:cool:
