That's great feedback! Thank you so much. I have been feeling that they aren't quite positioned quite right yet, so this is helpful. 🙌 I appreciate it!

Yes. They are thin enough that I could probably wire them and bend a little. If more bending is needed, I could probably wrap them in a cloth soaked in hot water for a bit. It would soften the wood enough to bend further without cracking.

Also, I like the idea of deadwood that represents the tree's struggle to try and exist in a difficult place. Like, perhaps, it keeps putting out leaders just for them to inevitably die, and then try again... the deadwood being kind of a record of that struggle. 🤷‍♀️

Honestly... I haven't decided... I suppose it's kind of a cross between two things. Most of my trees often take on a more compact masculine style, and I struggle to create designs that are more fluid and feminine, so I thought I would try creating a design that seems like a dance.

Yes, it does... Thank you! ☺️

Ah.. I see. That makes perfect sense.

Honestly... you could very easily sell these too. I used to do the same thing. I'd throw away everything I deemed imperfect. My customers protested. Now I put together grab bags and sell "missfits", and they are quite popular. People find beauty in imperfection. You are missing out on revenue...

Yay! I've been looking for the perfect pot for this little tree! It puts out little white flowers, so your pot works perfectly. Thank you!

Oh wow! This is beautiful! :)

Thank you! :)
