Progressions

 

 

 

In this series of articles/photo reports, I will try to show both shorter and longer progression examples of some of my works. I hope this will encourage you to  try making your own shohin bonsai from either simple or prepared material. The essence for me in the art of shohin-bonsai, working at, and developing my trees from a prepared or raw state.

All articles will be updated from time to time, when new tasks of importance are carried out.

Regards, Morten Albek
