Ficus Benjamina nice moviment

[DavidBrasil]

Hello again!


I would like to show a work in Ficus Benjamina, I won this plant from a friend who is away from art. As always I forgot to take the photo before the intervention lol.

Frist pic.
There were many bruises from the wire on the stem, I made a cut in the bark to induce a healing and hide the bruises.


Second pic.
Here is the chosen position, I realized that I would have to change the nebari a bit to better fit the new project.


Third pic.
With the new position chosen, I realized that I needed a branch in the back, the solution was to make a fusion of a branch that leaves the front and moving it back.


Fourth pic.
I'll update soon



Thanks to all who are part of the forum, I really like this space dedicated to this wonderful art!

I really like what you did with it. Is that string you used as a guide wire? If so you're better off upgrading it. That string will deteriorate.

Thanks! Im glad you like it!
I did not understand exactly what you wanted to say.
I used aluminium wire on the tree, and that colored wire is a network cable.

Your plant looks pretty cool! I would choose the position of the first photo as the front, you have some nice branches that can already start to give the format in the plant, wire it.
Remembering that it is only an opinion of someone who is also starting in the art.
