What does one expect to see...behind a barn door? Added him because guests seem to feel the need to close the door when visiting. Like they need to see how it works.

Artsy-crafsy and provocative! Very avant garde... Let's see some trees similarly inspired?

I think my collection...if one looks at it. Can see I have been inspired as well in that aspect at times. I have always been drawn to quirky.

Alas, there is quirky good and quirky bad. For instance, I see a lot of very bad Literati here (and everywhere else, too) that have not one shred of grace. Potatoes with leaves, too. They can be gnarled and twisted and broken and still have a grace that comes with evident great age and difficulty of life, but that is not automatic. It need to be crafted. This is evident in the fact that we are see lots of beat-up trees in nature, but the beautiful ones stick out like sore thumb because they have that special something.

@Forsoothe! Since you were asking for trees. I'm sure you are familiar with my Ginkgo. So not sharing it.
I don't have a literati for that very reason. It's hard to pull off.
Needs a better pot. But even Valavanis says he loves this tree. (Weeping Ryusen Maple) He even gave me guidance on where it's at now.
Grew it from basically a stump with no branches. Back in 2014 spring when it had significant dieback.
Might be to tame.
This one has a cool base. Attempting to wire with burnt fingers so it's a slow and steady. Working through pain. Until I end up with a headache. But that base. Is cool.
(Turtleback Trident clump in a commissioned Sam Miller pot.)
I also have this guy. Tigerbark ficus... He's a chunky monkey. Clearly not the best angle. Just what I have on the phone camera.
I have a potato too.
An olive...
Lastly the forsythia exposed root... thickening the roots a bit more.

This one will one day be a wonderful weeper! The soft foliage lends itself to weeping, and I'm now surprised that I have never seen one that was styled this way. Good Show!

Thank you...
I believe MACH5 has a weeping bald cypress as well. Bigger material for sure.

He's a cutie! Could be related for sure. Or the same artist...the same cow even.

Just when you thought searching Dav4 saying "bovine" can only lead one place, there is a thread called Bovine Yamadori.
Surely worth a read as Per Sir Pall.
I told Darlene I want to give her some of my Rustic Vase decor, so I'm just sneaking over here to share some things, looking for opinions, and opening the door for dibs of course!
I will make 6 from now on, I think a full circle would be sweet.
This is a buff clay marbled with my Red river Clay fired to cone 8. It melts the river rock/sand pellets so wonderfully!

Agreed. Making a decent tree is something many can do. Making a memorable tree however takes something extra
