I know we all talked about hating fb, but if these don’t sell I’ll have them on the website. They are at Bonsai Auctions, look for #sometsuke.

I love that bunny one so much it incorporates an inspiration from my favorite Japanese painting….and cuuuute Bunnybuns.

The colab between your pots and your wife’s painting, there are no words to accurately describe the awesomeness.

Best pot ever!

 

[Perplexody]

Truly stunning pots, I can only dream right now of having something befitting of one.
They are far from my grasp in value and beauty

I’ve decided *deleted controversial opinion* and I’m not gonna take things seriously anymore.

 

[Sansokuu]

Just kidding, have some serious pots. For those not on that new fangled hip kid instagram thing.

Love this, I hope you post the finished product!
Would you pair jbp with ocean sun fish?
This size category, I believe, gives you a lot freedom to be playful. I say let your hair down and run barefoot through the flowers.

I want to start practicing brush strokes before i make pots this fall/winter

That is one beautiful cat. Please change your profile picture to this one. The one you have makes it look feral.

Just shows how disconnected I am from bonsai, I thought JBP was your cat’s name which I remember it is not (japanese black pine?) in which case the size category regarding a cat was confusing on my end also lol. Yes kitty riding a sunfish! I’ll make a doodle.

Seems we have similar thinking! His name is Eggs, my fault for being careless with acronyms and not writing in complete sentences.
@Carol 83 thanks for compliment. He usually starts talking when i try to snap a pic. Hard to get one with mouth closed.

He is stunning, I also have a pretty long haired kitty but with heterochromia and just like Eggs she never shuts up!

Derailing the kitty chat to bring in a hat design. Any thoughts? Yay, nay?

Yes!!! Crows and Ravens are so underrepresented!

Indeed! However what is black thing with eye?

Love the concept, raven/crow needs a bit more detail to make it "raven-ish" or "crow-ish," I think.

 

[Sansokuu]

Thanks! I was thinking he could use more detail.. especially with embroidering, itwould be a shame not to.

 

[ABCarve]

Crows are definitely my favorite bird. If anything.....more crow attitude!
