Another project of Premna

I got this material 3 years ago. Interesting lines..many option.....

My final choice..

This is how it looks like now..
Still working on the ramification to reduce the leaves size....

Robert, thanks! Excellent line and and a good way to avoid the reverse tapper!

As Indonesian bonsai beginer, I'm Proud to have a bonsai expert just like you Pak Robert...

Good selection Robert. Will be nice in a year or so.

Andrei - reverse taper isn't a big issue with such dramatic material. To me it adds to the charm of the specimen.

Makasih Tang...

Thanks Andrei, Rob. Bonsai design is all about design in harmony and balance, reverse tapering not always a problem for me, just like other "rules" as long as they don't distract the design... As the Chinese says, in certain extend, ugliness is a beauty..so in many cases, if we can handle the "defective" features well, we can turn them into the point of interest...

BTW, I am still trying to resolve the problem for the visa....

exellent robert.

best wishes, sam

Cool tree, Robert!

Lots of texture going on there... it has such a dramatic silhouette!

Rob, who said reverse taper was a big issue? I'm already converted. And by the way, in the final design there is none. To be more serious, in my view a long straight stretch of reverse taper is a problem even for dramatic material.. But not hopeless, I would definitely agree.
