First go at shaping and wiring. It’s staying in the big pot for a while though to grow stronger. Please forgive the wiring, still getting the hang of it but thoughts very much welcomed!

Hey Froggy,

Welcome again to ausbonsai - from memory you joined recently.

I was going to ramble on about movement and then I was going to try to draw something on your photo and then I thought ....it might be better to link to a video. This video shows how you might like to put more movement in your trunk and branches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1FDfwyjkrs

Oh and here's a frog that lives in our courtyard. It still pops in from time to time... viewtopic.php?f=97&t=26205&hilit=frog

You may have no interest at all but there's a link to your nickname. :)

Enjoy your new hobby... :yes:

Awesome! Thanks for the link 😁

I love critters in general lol I have quite a few frogs around my pots, all manner of insects and spiders, birds and a resident family of brush tail possums. Your little frog is a proper chubber πŸ˜‚ obviously very happy! We tend to get striped marsh frogs here and when it rains, they are everywhere.
