sabina juniper

Hi everyone,
took this sabina juniper to a workshop with F. Jeker. I'm very happy with the result. Now I just have to find the right pot.
Hope you like it.

I think it's a very special tree, wonderful trunk. You've styled it very well.

Best,

Augustine

(Question - where was this collected?)

Just curious, you have some wrapping and extensive wiring on the hanging branch. Yet it's as straight as a pencil. I understand you may have made an extreme bend with that branch where it meets the trunk, but the rest of the branch remains straight. Your sketch seems to show a hanging branch with a bend in it. Perhaps it's because of viewing in two-dimension......

that one branch we had to bend from the back towards the front, which was already a heavy bending, so we taped it with raffia and thick wire. you're right, it looks straight as a pencil, I might try to put a angle in it in the future, but its quite thick. the picture looks a bit confusing though, much better in real. Unfortunately, I didn't make the drawing (I wish I could).
the tree was collected in switzerland.
cheers

the tree before styling....

Fantasic material. I wish I had it. Are you going to bend the main branch out as per the painting?
