MAGICAL ACCENTS

If you didn't go you missed out big time
This was a first, not only in the UK or Europe but maybe in the world!
The show was all about celebrating Accents, the standard of the hundreds of plants, stones and bronzes was simply stunning and I mean everything.
Here are a few photos for now

Dan Barton's display the picture is the yamidori the figure is Dan working on the material and the tree is what he has produced

Hi Jim,

Here are some more Pics

Wonderful idea, wonderful pictures, thank you for posting. I love the variety and the imagination of the participants.

it was brilliant...........

the people that attended will have come away with so many ideas and a greater understanding of using accents, bronzes, sculptures and 'accompaniments' to improve a bonsai display - In a short space of time I learnt so much about how to choose a scroll to properly fit the tree display from Paul Goff, setting up was priceless - acting as apprentice to Dan Barton for an hour or so was both fun and really enjoyable - that alone made my day.

I'm really glad the event was a total success - it means there will be another one

who has a picture of the first row?? after seeing the stone of Steve Tolley and the neibouring tables I realised i have never seen a really proper suiseki before - UNBELIEVABLE, AWESOME -

Great (expensive) day out. Came away with so many ideas and arms full of goodies,
luckily Chris Thomas was there to put the brakes on or I would have spent his money as well!!
I can only see the Magical accent Show getting bigger and better. Perhaps afew clubs could be offered
a table to display their efforts? Only a thought. Well done to the organisers for putting on such a great show
can not wait for the next one.
