I agree. Yvonne, Lee, and Smithy I believe posted materials that are way past the SIP category (please don't be offended, it is a compliment) .

I, on the other hand can fill a few pages of this thread with my own SIPs if I post them one at a time.

Ya i know hehe, maybe because of the finished product that was presented, but if i can only show you, how it all begun, before the shaving and cuttings has been done, pictures no longer exist, it was somehow, a large in diameter but a long stick, try to visualize the tip of this tree, i made some cuttings on it, well, your right, im still a novice, rookie whatever you may call it, and im still learning on my own and with the help of some good friends, anyway it was just my first styling as starter and im very thankful for all your constructive comments, i really do appreciate it well..

Just enjoy it Ferdie...

BTW, Robert Steven is in town and will be performing a demo work on May 6, 1:00pm at Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon city, in the national bonsai show..if you want to acquire his books (signed by him) bring some cash please, and we got some other stuffs too. Be there guys.

Some people told me this tree of mine looked like a walking stick, so its a stick in a pot

Here are some of my sticks in pots, bald cypress, maple and other odds and ends collected last Feb.

I'd love to see some updates to these! Or some more SIP!
