Today we finished what me and Andrej started a week before. Juniperus Chinensis got its final shape for time being. Now is time to bring up the whole story:

Z Andrejem sva dokončala kar sva začela že prejšnji teden. Kitajski brin je dobil končno obliko za to fazo razvoja. Čas je, da se spomnimo celotne zgodbe.

I saw this tree for the first time last spring at the workshop in Izola:

Drevo sem prvič videl lani spomladi na delavnici v Izoli:

Andrej asked me if we could work on it together. So we turn the tree and lean it a little, and after first styling we were satisfied:

Z Andrejem sva se dogovorila in ga potem skupaj obdelala. Drevo sva obrnila in nagnila, po prvem oblikovanju sva bila z rezultatom zadovoljna:

But after a close inspection it was obvious that solution with the top isn't right. Brunch which was turned into top was to thin and was growing unnaturally from the trunk. We needed second styling.  

Bolj kot sva ga opazovala, bolj se nama je zdelo, da rešitev z vrhom le ni prava. Veja, ki je prevzela funkcijo vrha je bila pretanka in se je nenaravno nadaljevala iz debla. Potreben je bil redizanj.

We decided that we'll worked at first club's workshop in Nova Gorica. A few days before we worked on shari and jins. 

Odločila sva se, da bova brin obdelala na prvi letošnji klubski delavnici v Novi Gorici. Nekaj dni prej sva obdelala suh les, izoblikovala šari in džine.

We then wired it in Nova Gorica. But we worked under time pressure and finally we run out of time:

Žičenje je prišlo na vrsto v Novi Gorici. Toda tam sva delala pod časovnim pritiskom in nazadnje nama je časa zmanjkalo:

Today we finished it peacefully. The result is completely different tree with fare more convincing and natural top. With some pinching it could be a great bonsai in a year!

Danes sva v miru dokončala začeto delo. Rezultat je povsem drugačno drevo, veliko bolj prepričljivo z veliko bolj naravnim vrhom. Z nekaj vršičkanja lahko brin v letu dni postane vrhunski bonsaj!

We have some difficulties with photographing, we didn't have proper conditions, so we used the reflector ...

S fotografiranjem sva imela težave, saj nisva imela pravih pogojev, za silo sva se rešila z reflektorjem ...

In one year only Juniperus did come a long way in development. Now, Andrej must pick up a right pot and then he could already put it on exhebition. To me working on that tree ment a great enjoyment and satisfaction! 

V samo letu dni je brin napravil dolgo pot v razvoju. Zdaj mu mora Andrej le še izbrati pravo posodo in lahko ga bo postavil na ogled. Meni, ki sem bil lahko del ustvarjalnega moštva, pa je delo na brinu pomenilo veliko zadovoljstvo in užitek!
