Rainy day was perfect for creative work in good company. For demonstration me and Rajko worked on tanuki juniperus. When I saw it for the first time this morning it seems to me like realy poor material. But closer look revealed some potential. "Even this must be a chalenge," said Rajko. 

Deževen dan je minil v dobri družbi in ob ustvarjanju. Na demonstraciji v Tori sva z Rajkotom obdelovala tanuki brin. Ko sem ga zjutraj zagledal, mi ni deloval najbolj obetajoče, podrobnejaš analiza pa je vendarle nakazala nekaj rešitev. "Tudi to mora biti izziv," je rekel Rajko.

This time demonstration achived its purpose. Visitors payed close atention and bonsai started to come into existence. First some rafija and thicker wire:

Demonstracija je tokrat dosegla svoj namen. Pod budnimi očmi obiskovalcev je začel nastajati bonsaj. Najprej nekaj rafije in debelejša žica:

Then precise wiring of every brunch. Meanwhile some pleasant chat, even about bonsai of course, and we moved closer to the goal.

Potem pa natančno žičenje vsake vejice. Vmes prijetno kramljanje, tudi kakšno bonsajsko smo seveda razdrli in se bližali cilju.

As the owner of the tree Rajko did some last adjustment. On the left side of the photo you can see table with some sketches. Rajko draw them and they helped us with final design.

Potem je bilo treba urediti še zadnje podrobnosti na krošnji, ta čast je kot lastniku drevesa seveda pripadla Rajkotu. Na sliki boste na tabli levo opazili tudi skice, ki jih je pripravil Rajko in preko katerih smo si pomagali do končne podobe.

Here is new bonsai, tanuki again. It will never get first prise on exhebition. But nevertheless making it was inspireing and first of all a good training for upcoming first class projects!  

In tu je nov bonsaj; spet tanuki, ki ne bo nikdar pobiral nagrad na razstavah. Ampak ustvarjane je ravno tako navdihujoče, predvsem pa več kot dober trening za prihajajoče vrhunske projekte!

Todays happening in Tora, which ended with lunch in nearby restaurant, achieved its purpose. Such creative meetings are our goal, goal which can put bonsaism at higher level!

Današnje dogajanje v Tori, ki se je končalo ob prijetnem klepetu na poznem kosilu v bližnji gostilni, je doseglo svoj namen. Takšna kreativna druženja so najin cilj, cilj, ki bo bonsajizem dvignil na višji nivo!
