Do you have a houseplant bonsai? I recently attended a bonsai show @matthaeinichols and was blown away by the beautiful trees. This narrow leaf ficus(Ficus nerifolia) is 60 years old and has been in training for 40 years-Wow!! Check out my new blog post- the link is in my bio. . . #houseplantbonsai #bonsai #houseplantsrock #urbanjungle #house_plant_community #houseplants #indoorplants #matthaeibotanicalgardens #gardenchat #greenyourfeed #get_planted #plantsmakepeoplehappy #miniaturetrees https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QZz4AAF6y/?igshid=1rnigw02coed3
Hellooo lovely people! I feel I should apologise for not being around and posting more but my head hasn't really been in a good space lately so I've mainly just been enjoying making trees again while I wait for the dark clouds shifting. Figuratively and literally since the weather has been grim! Got into my gemstone stash this week and managed to create these three trees; two teeny tiny miniatures in opal and rainbow moonstone, and one rose quartz which looks huge next to the minis 😄 Amethyst next I think since it's February 💜 . . . . . . #twystedroots #gemstonetrees #rosequartz #ethiopianopal #rainbowmoonstone #trees🌳 #wiretrees #miniaturetrees #teenytiny #wireart #handmadecreations . . .

How does the scene look? Nice photography or good model making skills? You decide! The tags will spoil it honestly. #miniaturetree #miniaturepainting #diorama #palmtree https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zimMAj8-u/?igshid=156avcsk2lfw9
What is Bonsai?
The word “Bonsai” (it is often misspelled as bonzai or banzai) is a Japanese term which means “Planted in a Container”.
“Bon” is a dish or thin bowl or a tray-like pot.
“Sai” is a tree or other growing plant which is to be planted.
“Bonsai” thus means “a tree which is planted in a shallow container“.
The goal for growing a Bonsai is to create a miniaturized (small) but realistic representation of nature in the form of a tree (miniature tree).
A profile that is not as detailed as a real tree but it has enough features to easily suggest a type of grown tree.
Relative smallness, compared with those original trees, for ease of transport and ability to keep anywhere, particularly inside the home.
A sense of naturalness which has been created by human intervention for landscape.

Finally the outside is finished...especially that damn tree! This is my first house and I made everything myself (well cheap house kit and 2 petite properties furniture kits) I'm hell proud. Next I need to make a couple of staging boxes for photographing stuff for my Etsy shop and then some work on my quarterscale Flakery. Ty all for your support and encouragement..Insta mini community is awesome sauce ❤ #littlethings #aussiedollhouse #miniatures #tinythings #dollhousediy #diydollhouse #halfscale #miniature #elcheapodollhouse #miniatureart #dollhouseminiatures #miniatureartist #dollhouse #miniaturetree #diorama
New smaller baubles (6cm diameter) which make the mini trees look less mini! 💕 Took me around 4 days to photograph these because I kept running out of daylight. Must start making use of the daylight bulb again ... . . . . . #twystedroots #miniatures #miniaturetrees #christmasdecorations #baubles #treelovers #wireart #wireartist #handmadewithlove❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XxreQFq5a/?igshid=1vp4cy8hiiw08
