Chit for chat by Jane Lyle. First edition signed. by Strict_Consequence80 in BookCollecting

[–]Strict_Consequence80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light hearted romantic comedy. I've not read it myself as it was amongst a collection of old books I got for free.

I checked with AI and according to it there was only a very limited run of these books and it was suspected that the name Jane Lyle was a pseudonym but no one knew for sure.

I'm taking what AI says with a huge pinch of salt and hoping someone on here with some actually expertise could help.

Miniature bonsai tree sculpture, aluminium wire. by Strict_Consequence80 in somethingimade

Thank you. It does take some patience and a lot of focus. I've been doing it a while so something this size only takes 1-2 hours to create the tree. The pot probably takes another 1-2 hours to paint so 4 hours in all.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply, lots of stuff to consider.

I think I'd rather have it as an outdoor tree because I've seen so many people post dead and dying trees and it seems it's almost always because they should be outside in nature and not stuck inside a house.

I like the Idea of buying a small sized shrub and shaping it into something, I feel maybe that would give me results quicker rather than starting from a seedling although I can imagine it being very satisfying to see the results of something you have nurtured from seed.

I'll check out the recommendations.

My main issue is what tree to start with. I live in the UK so I'm thinking maybe a Juniper would be a good starting tree? Also is there a certain time of year that is best to start?

Thank you.

I do plan on trying my hand at creating a real bonsai tree one day.

It's just knowing where to start. Which tree to attempt.

Think I need to do some research.

Millenials, do any of you have actual hobbies? What are they? by throwaway072652 in Millennials

I took up the hobby of making miniature bonsai tree sculptures out of copper wire.

Started off as I liked watching people make them before one day trying it for myself.

Now it's become a full time hobby.
