2 years ago I collected few pines and most of them I have shared here already.
Except this one.
All because the styling is taking a few years.

This is how it looked after collection



1 and a half yer later I got to do the first stylng
As it was gonna be a hard one, I made sure the tree is well protected and wired with strong enough wires...and enough wires



Even though I was very carefull, the trunk suddenly cracked at one place and I thought that the tree won´t make it.
But it did and new needles proved that i is OK and healing.
So another - slighter - step was taken few weeks ago.
This is how it looks now.



This is still not the end, but we´re slowly getting there.
Wires and bandages will stay on for another 2 years I guess to make sure the shape will be set for good.

Why bandages and not Rafia?
is there a specific reason?

Very nice work, it is already beautiful!

Why pay for rafia when I have free bandages?

very nice, as always!

It turned out this wasn´t gonna be a long term project.
After it survived first styling I should have left it alone for much longer than I did and not do another styling just yet.
Why?
Because it was too much and the tree is dead now.
Congratulations Mimo.
You f....d up again.

OUCH!
It was really beautiful!
