Can you still buy wire coat hangers?What's this doing in the Electics section I hear you ask?* Well, they're bendy and ideal for using as hooks for grabbing wires under the baseboard and pulling them through to the edge. Because my baseboard has cupboards underneath it's impossible to crawl under. All I see these days are plastic coat hangers that have a tendancy to break when you try to bend them.*poliss has supersonic earsight. |

The perfect stuff is Bonsai wire. It's soft and pliable, comes in different thickness' and you can buy it by the metre. It's also useful for other thing like wiring Bonsai trees!
If you have a large garden centre near you, they'll stock it. |

Nice plants. I don't have the patience. I'd prob get frustrated and rip em to shreds.

Just think of them as 1/12th scale living models. All of a sudden, the modeller in you takes over!

Nice bonsai pictures. Just a thought what if you could get them down to 1,76 what a fortune to be made.
Nice to dream.

I have tried!
The only problem is the scale size of the leaf. I can do a Juniper that looks fine at 1:76 scale and will even survive indoors but it's leaves aren't flat. It looks good from a distance but close up it looks downright wierd!
