Car Crashed Into my Bonsai

[GardenerX]

ok this I first saw on a website about bonsai so I decided I would do it to, all I did was took a hammer to the front end of a little Hot Wheel car then I popped off a front wheel and then laid it next to my tree, then laid the wheel next to the front end.....

I also made a wall/road thing to make it look like the car ran off a road or somthing. Theres also a rock in the middle of nowhere just for looks anyways heres a pic:

Did you report that wreck? ha ha

Cute idea!

[Rosaelyn]

lol That is great.

It may not be mainstream, but I quite enjoy the less formal bonsai - animal forms, growing over or around odd items. So that is quite cool.

thx guys I figured I should post it, someone would get a kick out of it. I found a different website that sold a tire swing for different Bonsai Tree's, I thought about getting one but I did this instead....

haha that's great! I'm thinking of doing root over rock one day but instead of a rock, using a toy car. when I'm more experienced though and I find material that's suitable for this.

[GardenerX]

that sounds awesome, oh and welcome to the forum.

yeah I just used a little Hot Wheel car but here in Texas they have little model cars like Hot Wheels but bigger I was going to use one of those but it was a bit to big anyways GOOD LUCK.

Thanks I was looking in a few nurseries for suitable material for root over rock. no luck as of yet

[GardenerX]

ahhh well have you considered shoping online I haven't bought a tree online yet but I'm sure someone on here has and knows a good site to go to.

[Kree]

no I haven't, but I'd prefer to buy one locally. if worst comes to worst I will of course consider the online stores

[GardenerX]

yea I know what you mean.

[Sunnydaze]

What an adorable idea =) And pretty inexpensive too! Once I started looking into it, there are a surprising number of bonsai accesories XD It really just gives them that extra personal touch I guess!

That is too funny!! Modern day bonsai!

[Marsman]

That's great!

Nick Lenz does some cool things too. He has a forest group with a derelict old tank in it.

And of course there is his demon maple.

I want to make a root over rock with this demon skull. I was supposed to go to a workshop to set this up, but the weather was too nice and I wound up potting up some other trees at home.

Haha sounds good. And I cna't wait to see what that skull will come out to look like.

That demon maple is fantastic. I feel that bonsai gardeners should "branch out" past the formal styles and be artistic in this way. Especially in the West (USA, Europe, etc.) where we need to make our own traditions and not feel bound to purely Asian ideas artistically.
