Hello All,
As a relative newby, today I made my first attempt at creating a Kengai Juniperus Procumbens Nana Bonsai from Nursery stock. When I dabbled in bonsai more than some ten years ago I imported this beautiful pot from Japan and I have kept it with me all this time thinking of a day when I would start the process of creating a beautiful bonsai. In the end I think I did reasonably well to begin with but would like some advice as to how I should style the head and branch positioning. I intend to strengthen the curve midway down the main trunk, but softly. As you can see I started making a jin and for which some suggestions would also be great.

mate beatiful pot....I am no expert..
but I suggest trying to replicate to a degree the curves of the dragon on the pot...while the juniper is still young. Nice effort though.
Cheers Gott

Why is it that some people can't just give there oppinion.....if someone does not agree is there really a need to jump on your shetland pony and pretend its a high horse???

Thanks Gott,
Never even occured to me to replicate the curves in the dragon..fantastic idea and I think it would help to create a powerful symmetry between the plant and the pot.
