hello friends!
these are the chinese ulmus i am making by learning with law(laurent darrieux) and vev(herve dora)
in this extrem esthetic they explore the most often
as for the ficus fantasy style post...the goal is to create a bonsai with the only vegetal survival rules
in fact you make an impossible tree that can live without loosing branches or ...die Razz
they are experimental subjects for me


these trees get still too many branches(i have still not confidence in myself and my choices Laughing )
....in the future ..i ll shoud choose the best graphic lines
and i hope that you will help me to make them better
so please give me some squetchs and virtuals

Cram,

This approach is used to style some trees in Taiwan, for example, 蔓榕 Man Rong (Ficus Penduculosa/ Gibbosa;literally translated creeping ficus), Premna and other vines like/creeping shrubs like Bougainvillea. I know that Law (Laurent Darrieux) has learned from Lo Min Hsuan and it seems to me that he is adapting this styles to the material he has available. It is lways refereshing to see new approaches and I hope that trials on some other species in France are successful. I imagine that edible fig (Ficus carica) will be most suitable to train in this style.

Thanks for posting.

Warm regards,

Jose Luis

thank you for your reply jose luis!
well ..you re right ...this style is used by some people in taiwan and law and vev were inspired by taiwan trees style

in fact law has met mr lo only last year...and they work together again this year...he did not were his student
but he learned me this style a long time before meeting mr lo
and taiwan is a revelation for him ...i think


anyway...for me it is a mix of the old octopus style ..taiwan style and maybe free style Very Happy
it is a very interessting way to push the limits(vegetal and esthetic) and learn by this way

a little bit too complex for me for the moment...but it is a funny playground

Yes, Law participated in Lo Min Hsuan's class last week, mostly working on juniper and pine.

I understand your point on the complexity of this particular style. I suggest Ficus carica because some of the branches will fuse, making interesting character and intricate lines on the material. I suggest that you let most of the main structure fatten up, in different girths and degrees of thickness. Only then will the whole composition will be more credible and exemplary of age.

Anyhow, congratulations on your good work!

Kind regards,

Jose Luis

I like the last one only:)
Maybe if You cut some branches the first and the second will be more interesting and clear in their figure. They look like a shimpaku;)

I also like tthe last one.

But is necessary to leave the wires bite into the bark until they're swallowed into the wood to achieve such a design?

For the first ones, I really don't see the point : one thing that I like about deciduous trees is that they change according to the season. Here, what would the first one look like when in full leaves ? Shocked

Laurent is a very talented bonsai artist, but I think that however respectable his experiments are, here, he's in a dead-end...

Alain,

Give them time to mature...a little differentiation betwen the girth in branches will make the designs more mature ans credible.

By the way, it is not necessary for the branches to swallow the bark.

that s it!...let s time make them going better alain
the formation has only two years...
and ...actually..it is my shaping on law' s trunk lines
so if dead end there is...it is mine

i really think that the three trees could become some nice pieces
...it depend only of what i will do with them
i know there is too many branches....but like this i still get many options aswell

but be sure of one thing if it were laurent who made them
they surely would be really better

i understand this style will not be found nice by everybody
but i like to go on several ways in bonsai...

hello seb
I tried a drawing for the second. Shocked
I do not know if it's feasible, I cannot see the insertion of the branches on the trunk.
And I have not drawn the back branches. Razz
See you soon.

Maybe... That's what everyone tries to do with any style of bonsai.

No, it isn't, but I was talking about the wires: as far as I know, they let the wires be swallowed by the bark, that's a big difference. Why not ? But that's not my cup of tea...

And as for the design, I gave up experimenting with LSD in my early twenties, that's 35 years ago! lol!

No, do as you like: as many people, as many different opinions (Vivekananda) Cool

If I don't like the first ones because I don't believe they will ever be nice-looking when in leaves, the last one seems interesting to me, but once again, that's just a personal opinion, for what it's worth.

Cram..I don't know, I don't see it in this artistic mess Smile In my humble opinion - a fanciful trunk - that's enought. Branches should be less complicated.

I love this tree but feel that it should be planted a bit deeper on the left hand side to bring the apex more in line with the trunk.
It is almost falling over.
The last little tree is simply stunning. ThumbsUp

Respect pour celui-là !

Hat off for this one!

Sorry my friend, but the others still look too messy for me (Désolé mon ami, mais les autres me paraiseent toujours autant désordonnés).

I know you from different forums, and I know you are an honest person so take my advice for what it's worth:
(Je te connais par d'autres forums, et je sais -j'en suis certain !- que tu es quelqu'un d'honnête, alors prend mon conseil pur ce que ça vaut : )

Sell the others to beginners! (Vend les autres à des débutants !) : they'll be impressed, and give you a lot of money, so you can buy champagne and foie gras (not "pâté de foie gras" as they say -only know?- in the UK Rolling Eyes )

Actually, it's not very far from the (excellent) school of bonsai in Italy: twist every branch to make it more compact.
(En fait, ce n'est guère éloigné de (l'excellente) école italienne : tordre chaque branche pour la rendre plus compacte)

C'est un style, un point de vue (a point of view)...

----

On this tree, I would say:

As it is, when I imagine the leaves on, it looks a bit like a late-fidfties hairdo, what's the word? "Fluffed?" "Bouffant hairdo?"...

Anyway, there's a branch on the left that I would cut off.

And a few others too:
