Well done Ken, Watto and Ellen! :tu:
Ellen, what species of tree is that and what did you use for the powdered snow effect?
I only wish I had a bonsai I coul decorate like this being that I am starting all mine from scratch and that I am pretty new to bonsai in general...here's hoping for next year!
Cheers, Dario.

Hi Dario,
It's a corky bark elm which I defoliated and dusted with cornflour.

Hey Guys,

Christmas is about to come. But I have not prepared for Christmas yet. I have to buy parts of the Christmas tree. Can anyone tell me what are the things that are required? Please help me with this.

Thanks
