Janet Selby AusBonsai 2010 signature series pots

Post by Steven »

G'day,

I recently commissioned Janet Selby to produce a limited edition AusBonsai 2010 signature series of pots and she has definitely not disappointed :D .
These pots aren't for sale however they will be given away over the coming months via competitions and to members who strongly uphold the values of the forum and unselfishly go out of their way to help others.

So consider this thread to be a virtual prize cupboard.

G,day when i was at the tops weekend with the Illawarra club,I met Janet she is a very nice as well as talented young lady. I bought some of her miniature pots then, but I would love to get my hands on 4 9 10 12 15. Oh any one would be nice, to add to my collection of mini pots.

Steven you are indeed a very generous benefactor, for with out this site I believe a lot of the younger people would be struggling along without direction.
Which makes me very proud to be a member and part of the future of Australian Bonsai.

Thank you Steven, Cheers :D Pup

PS will that get me one will it EH :!: :roll: :lol:

I don't know Janet well but these 'earthy' pots are in step with the person, I imagine.

Pots to hold...lovely!!
