Colorado Blue Spruce No. 2 , literati goal

[Shogun610]

Got this Colorado Blue from the studio , it was I believe ground grown. But will make a fun literati style , the bark is starting to flake. I just want it have fun with this one as I hone my skills more. At the very base I think there is a bit of inverse taper where it bulges .. but I’ll just cut that way or file it down.

Yes , I’d like to , the soil it’s in isn’t clay, it’s pretty good loose organic soil. Then if all goes well I can repot in spring.. rock or something cool haha idk I’m just gonna let loose and enjoy
