Ishitsuki in the making

[Ces]

beautiful Alpine! I really like the moss runs that look to me like suggestions of waterfalls.

keep us updated on this one.

Hi evenings , impressed , so am i .Its good when a vision is create in real life .

Hi Ces , thanks mate , the moss serves 2 purposes , keeping the rock and roots cool and giving the impression of a waterfall .

Cheers Guys . Alpine

WOW really impressive, you see pictures like this searching around for Bonsai, but to see the progression is a whole other thing, really amazing work, looks so cool, makes me want one in my house!

[alpineart]

Hi AJ , mate they look like you could throw them together but to construct it from scratch takes a little more effort . If only light weight rocks this size were available the hard work would be done a lot quicker . A natural rock of this size would be impossible for me to lift . The rock itself is 1meter high and weighs 11 kgs so it quite light , finished and landscaped at around 12.5 kgs. I can actually tuck it under my wing and walk around with it .

Cheers Alpine

Wow Dude

Ill have to make it over sometime this month and have a look at the great works you have been doing.

Cant wait till i get a collection like yours

[alpineart]

Hi Fiveoffive , mate give yourself 20 years and an obsession ta boot and it just might happen . Failing that come over and buy the lot , heading back under the knife in 5 weeks so i think its time for an Alpineart once in a life time "Break a Leg" or is that "Fix my Leg" Sale.

Cheers Alpine

Awesome result Alpine.

Great execution and I repeat how cool it is that you take the time and effort to share the steps.
I'm glad you used the Juni's in the end and I reckon they suit your landscape really well.

All the best for 5 weeks time.

Hi Boics , mate i was i two minds , but the Shimps were a calling for a new home . I hope they fix my leg properly this time , should weigh a bit less without the scrap metal too .

Hi Strawbs , i hope to squeeze 1 or 2 in before i'm laid up again , can't do much on crutches , watering will be the task of the day , but this time the lovely bride is taking holidays just to keep me in line .

Cheers Guys . Alpine

This has undergone contant replacement of the plants

None of the original junipers survived .Various circumstances have contributed to the losses {lessons learned again} but its back on track and growing well . This had another re-wire today and a small trim , its green so its a good thing .

Cheers . Alpineart

OMGosh Mr Alpine

What doest this guy do

[alpineart]

Hi srini , I'm glad to see your impressed . It still young , but time means nothing when i create these works

Hi Inspired , I haven't looked after my tree's to well over the last couple of years , but I have been re- inspired and motivated to improve my game and get my head back to where my hands are .

Cheers . Alpine

Very nice Alpine...did not expect it to turn so nice...could not figure what you are doing before the final.

[alpineart]

Hi Neli , don't you just love it when a plan comes together , even if it take a couple of goes to succeed . It needs a re-wire using heavy gauge copper on 2 of the straighter trunks however they are getting a bit thick to get the movement I desire . Can only but try , but I can't afford to break them as I don't have any replacement .

Cheers . Alpine
