Fuchsia suitable for a bonsai?

Hi I'm new to the art of bonsai and was wondering if anyone had seen or been able to create a bonsai from a Fuchsia?
It's one of my favorite flowers and I would love to give it a try and would love to hear from anyone that's tried it before.

Thanks

they do.

they like the shades more. be careful on root pruning. needs a lot of water.
