This winter I have been trying to source out dead bonsai to make moss trees. But the bonsai people do not take kindly to the idea. O at least not willing to admit that they are in possession of any. I found one on the stoop of a house in the fall, and built it out, and it has grown in nicely...
But I figured that I should just try to make one myself.
I built a wire armature and then covered it in hot glue (a type which I had researched as being safe for fish) it has been a real satisfying procedure.
This is a Tim burton style tree that need to be shaped down and painted...
And this weekend I built a small cascading bonsai for a very small shrimp tank I am currently setting up via DSM.
It may not work, but I chopped the java moss really fine and added a bit of yoghurt and painted it on the branches for two weeks in the hopes that it will attach. (Daily misting) if it doesn't then I can do it the more traditional way. (Fingers crossed)
