With our club show 3 weeks away, I thought I had better start getting some ideas. put together. Here is the first one featuring a familiar tree.
The accent is a brachycomb the scroll reads.

AN EXQUISITE WORLD
HARMONY BETWEEN
FLOWERS AND PEOPLES
HEARTS
I hope to hear from you all one way or tother Pup
ps sorry about the angle did not realize till I re sized

I love it Pup, the tree actually looks even more impressive than the previous shots I've seen of it I think, (aside from 360 of course ).

I like it very much too.

the scroll for me shoud be longer but thinner and it woudl look even better

Unfortunately Ken I only have two scrolls ( hope to get some in the UK ) at the moment this one and the other that is too big or should I say long for the Tokonoma.
I have been trying to make one of the calligraphy but finding the right material is not easy.

I feel maybe no scroll . Thanks for your thoughts Ken. I appreciate them. Pup

I agree Derek, it's a bit too distracting the way it is partly obscured by your Babingtonia.

I agree about the scroll but I would like to see a scroll with this if possible. I think most scrolls will need to be more left than this one even if it was thinner.
I picked up this decorative plate a while back that I thought I could improvise in place of a scroll. Oh and otherwise that is a very impressive display Pup

I have been playing around with display set ups again after attempting to make a scroll.
Not bad for a first try I now have some ideas thanks to Mrs pup. So the next time I will try a different fabric also try to get some prints of grasses a things scroll like.
Any way here they are. I think the Bunjingii should be closer to the centre of the tokonoma.

Every time I look at that tree it impresses me. The one with the scroll you made is your avatar?
Did you miss posting that one.
Of the ones you posted I like both but feel the scroll should be a little higher so it is not level with the top of the tree. On your avatar I feel it should be moved away from the tree a little more?

I like the juniper.

Your a picky bugger arent ya

The orignal one is my avatar these are with the new scroll.

Asus there are two Junipers! two Babingtonias (baekeas ) and one rhaphiophylla

Pup I like the original scroll but if moved to the left without contact with the tree would enhance. Don't like the scroll with the red surround, too distracting. Love the powerful tree.

G,day Ash I tend to agree about the red when women give you ideas!! I might take it off and try another colour . The other scroll has been thinned a bit also, I am going to try a different scroll that I have it is a lot longer. It has Cranes ( as in birds ) which depict autumn.
So I will have a go in the next couple of days.
The show is on in two weeks, so I am doing some fine tuning picking out dead needles and cleaning the pot surface on the trees. Pup

I still like the juniper.

]I have tried again I have changed the scroll taken the red away. Also I have narrowed the first one. I have tried a longer one with some Egrets not an over powering picture. Opinions please and remember all care taken no blame excepted Pup

The scroll reads the same as above This is a small Tokonoma it is only 1200 mm wide. So placement is not always optimum
