This is just a piece of terrain I just finished, I used a dead bonsai to make a swamp tree, I think it just looks terrific. Dead bonsai are the best looking trees you can find
Questo è un elemento scenico che ho appena finito, ho usato un bonsai morto per fare un albero da palude, penso che sia venuto molto bene. I bonsai morti sono gli alberi più realistici che si possano trovare.

Looks cool, but where would you get hold of "dead" bonsai? I suppose you could buy one's that are still alive & starve the bastard's to death?
RispondiEliminaAlso, how would you keep them preserved? Would they eventually fall to bit's, being organic, or do they just stay that way indefinitely?
EliminaCheers.
I am not a bonsai expert, but I have a dead one at home till 3 years...and it's always the same. No degadation issue or something like this.
EliminaGinzio...I think I will copy your idea, as soon as possible!
Thank you for the inspiration!
Molto d'effetto... Lo hai trattato in qualche modo o lo hai semplicemente attaccato?
RispondiEliminaI wouldn't know how to starve one to death, but I think anyone who is not an expert and gets a bonsai will eventually have a dead one. This particular one has been lying around for about ten years and didn't deteriorate until now, so i'm confident it will keep as it is.
RispondiEliminaI also have another dead bonsai and I'll use it in the same way as this one, I hope it won't take me another ten years to make it.
