Tora - nadaljevalni tečaj

2009-11-08T11:30:00.002+01:00

Tomaž, vodja izbraževalnega programa v Tori, je včerajšnji dopoldan posvetil Rolandu, Mihu in Jožetu, pravzaprav njihovim drevesom in njihovem izpopolnjevanju. Tole je scena pred začetkom. Nadaljevanje na Tomaževem blogu.

Moj čas se je pa izgubil v hribih. Sevede.

Počasi dobiva končno podobo. Mogoče še posoda... :)
Takole se je začelo pred tremi leti

In lani ob istem času.

V čakalnici

2009-10-10T05:20:00.002+02:00

Včerjšnje čiščenje šarijev in zaščita s trdilcem lesa pred današnjim dežjem je bilo pomembnejše. Brin še vedno čaka. Na delo rok. Iz oči v možgane pa dnevno slika podobe. Stokrat obrnjen. Preučen, analiziran.
Določena živa vena in očiščen mrtev les. Do zime, in to prav kmalu, se lotim jinov in sharijev. Ročno, počasi. Krošnja bo ostala do pomladi nedotaknjena. Konec poletja pa pogledam kaj se skriva v loncu. V dveh do štirih letih bo postal moj naj, naj. Če ni že zdaj?

Srečanje bonsajistov področja Alpe-adria. Neformalno, netekmovalno, majhna razstava, delavnica, polno zajebancije. Fajn je blo.
Tadva sta moja.

Razstavljena drevesa so bila bolj kot ne komsikomsa. Svetloba sploh. Ena so bila boljša.

Delavnica je bila celodnevna. S Tomažem sva delala vsak na svojem drevesu, ob asistiranju še štirih slovencev.

Tomaževo delo

In moje

Jaz sem našel svoje. Svoj mir in smrekov gušt.

Nekaj premikov v pogledu na bonsajizem je v letošnjem letu utrdilo del mene. Ko mi je Dany spomladi razlagal o evropski bonsajistični sceni, nisem razmišljal. V Sloveniji je popolnoma enako. Na tej postaji izstopam. Peš se vračam na začetek. Na skalo, kjer sem sedel in čutil moč dreves.

Vračam se na osebno raven, face to face, duša-drevo. Za ostalo so drugi.

Že spet

Acer buergianum

2009-02-19T16:51:00.003+01:00

I made a mistake in overwintering bonsai this year. Cold part of glasshouses became to warm due the sunny days. Acers began to open buds.
It's time to repot them, and than leave them inside till May, when cold mornings couldn't harm new leaves.

Started with my best Acer buergianum, 55 cm.

I shortened the top and made some corrections on branches.

The pot is made by Bryan Albright. Tree will harmonize the pot in autumn, when leaves get coloures.

Pinus Palček

2009-02-10T05:38:00.003+01:00

I decided to restyle this one. I trade it with Walter. I have a story and tree with mistake.

Yesterday I cut my hair. I will cut and rearrange this heavy crown on thiny leg with big foot. Started yesterday...

Juniperus chinensis . double trunk

2009-02-04T15:07:00.005+01:00

38 cm

Good nebari and need it work on ramification in next few years. Could become nice, not winning, but good looking tree.

I have beautiful pot for it.

Juniperus - double trunk

2009-02-04T05:24:00.004+01:00

I am working on it. Day after day, catching free time, catching feelings in my mind.

Changing working places,

changing tree. It's getting better. I found karma of it.
Not finished yet.

Starting new bonsai year

2009-01-23T05:35:00.004+01:00

In winter I am skiing. Mostly. This year we have lot of snow in mountains, it was cold for weeks...vauuu!
When the rain comes, I load five friends in van and drive 1300 km to Belgium. We stoped in Munsterland bonsai centrum.

We were visit Danny, better, his Ginkgo bonsai center, and finaly Noelanders trophy. How it was you can see on my Tora partner Tomaž face!Winning Acer buergerianum from Udo Fischer.

At home. I find new place for my work. In glasshouses workers starting flower production. For bonsai I need quiet and calm place.

Yesterday was today tomorow!

Christmas tree

2008-12-26T06:05:00.003+01:00

She was ugly, bad looking woman. She needed some make up, new hair design and after - some time. She'll never be beautiful, but strange enough to find someone who will love her.

Pinus thumbergii

2008-12-03T06:35:00.003+01:00

Pinus thumbergii, 55 cm
When I saw it, in summer at Crespi, his uglyness, unusual angle in a trunk and strong ramification attracted me. Intuition was strong. Strong enough for buying.

Good feeding, pinching and plucking needles were everything I did till end of October.

In Brixen I discous about my idea in future work with Mr. Kunio Kobayashi. He agreed with me and after cutting one third of branches adviced me crytical points I must pay attention in future.
Now, after carefully cleaning trunk and nebari, my intuition become truth. Pine shows me his secret.

It should show more when I will repot it.

In next two years it will get smaller needles, some shari and new pot.

I have new friend.

Juniper and winter

2008-11-25T16:14:00.004+01:00

She is here. My friend, winter. I am cool blod man, oposite snakes. I begin to live, when temeperatures drops bellow zero. I went five time to Alaska to recharge bateries. Not next year. How I will stay home?
Bonsai will help me in one way. I will mountin skiing, walking in wilderness, I'll be with my family, my lovely wife...Ouuu, it's sound to romantic. I am not!

Just in time I put them wintering. 1000 m2 glashouses - no problems. Yamadories, larix, carpinus and other strong varietes stays out.Yesterday TORA was on work again. We, Tomaž and me with a litlle help of some audience, worked on juniper, urban yamadori. First styling.

In all day work I was split between art and inside animal calling - go out, go run with snowing blizzard! My hands didn't make wright movements. My heart was disconected with them. Sorry Tomaž! Sorry juniper!

And my view on finish picture was diferent like my friends. That's good and that's normal. It is his tree and must to express him.

Juniper before snowing:

I will go mountains for next five days. To feed an animal inside me!

Learnings

2008-11-20T06:18:00.003+01:00

Between ride to Brixen with Aleš we meditated on day that will come. Anticipations, wishes, hopes, anxieties...

Next to nine o'clock we were prepered.

Beside us, there was still six students. Master Kobayashi write us some japanese thoughts for greeting and dedication for memory on common day.
After - all day work. Analysis of trees, conversations and explanations.

Cut-ji, cut-jin, cut-jin...was words, seasoned with mental Hasss..., he was using most on may juniper. Some branches flew away to every by-pass. Little is more!

I can't and even not have of intention to write all how or why Mr. Kunio worked on my tree. What he made, he made with punctual intention and goal, to emphasise the tree character.
Interweaving living and dead on trunk harmonises main branch, that connects - in context with top - land and sky, man and mysticism. Work isn't finished. Energy ran out. For finesses, work on dead wood and refined formulation I wish to be rest and in good mood. Taht day will come, must have significance.

Yesterday was the day.

Kunio Kobayashi

2008-11-17T17:48:00.002+01:00

Feelings round three days of teaching, huntings of knowlege, that great, one of the greateast Japanese bonsai master mr. Kunio Kobayashi, gives me on workshop in Brixen, are still messed up and unresolved in me. I am picking up levels and stacking them in folder, from which I will be ahead next to every touch of trees, since today, glimmer will pick up knowleges, wisdoms or only yearnings.

Master taught something and colic me, it will show time. I am capable of seeing new wall in any case, it possible whole to climbe. Handholds are visible, only still to climb is necessary. How much tries will be needed?Hands cause that, which heart sees. Techniques are one of it, sensations are second. Art and philosophy.

Preparings

2008-11-12T06:05:00.003+01:00

On friday I'll have a dignity to take a part on Mr. Kunio Kobayashi workshop. Two days time for analization and visualisation this Juniper.
Waiting to see differences between master and student seeing in this tree.

More than 100 years old juniper was already made by nature hand. I put only a particle of me on it. Crown is not finished yet. Next year I will work on it.
