Bonsai Macro 1

Description

For dear Hristo :iconatriellme: who asked for a close-up photo of this bonsai.  I got David to put his finger in the shot for true size reference.  The trunk of this one was made with wire, then covered in paper clay to shape it.  Leaves are dried (purchased) moss, and the moss (ironic!) is made from tiny cut wool fibres.  The base is a piece of crushed house brick that I found in the road when out walking one day.

This is the final set of shots for the gazebo garden, unless there are any special requests for more detail in any area.  Though I think I've covered it all now :blush: 
This is part of an entire hand-made garden surrounding a gazebo.  A good selection of the other photos, as well as mini tutorials can be seen in this journal  Gazebo Show and Tell:iconflyingheartsplz: Hello dear Friends and Watchers :iconflyingheartsplz:
Well, as you are all probably too well aware, my recent big project was a Gazebo Garden, set during Springtime in England. For my own sake as much as anything else, and because my YouTube video failed in the sound department about half way through (their fault, not mine - the original film is fine), I thought I'd assemble some photos and include some chat about methods and equipment used - if anyone cares a jot ;)
The gazebo began as a 'flat pack' kit in plain wood. I actually bought it from our one 'minis' shop, which is of course far, far away from home :giggle:
But I bought it with the $50 voucher that I won at the 2014 show in the novice category. I'd only been doing minis for around 9 months and won the prize for this garden in a frozen yogurt tub...

The flowers were made with chopped up kitchen sponges of various colours and the water is glue from a glue gun.
THE BUILDING
 and I'm more than happy to answer any questions about equipment used, or techniques.

Thank you so much for every comment, :iconstarhugplz:, :+devwatch: and :iconfeatureplz:  I can no longer thank everyone for Faves or reply to comments individually, but all are read, and they mean a lot. :iconssaattr: :iconthankyoujump::iconthankyoujump1: :iconthankyoujump2::iconsaaptewt:
