A TWIST ON BONSAI – A TWIST ON BONSAI -
Welcome to the world of Kobayashi Design.
Each tree is a unique piece of art that begins by entwining many lengths of wire to create the trunk and branches. Leaves of various colors and shapes are independently created and twisted into place. Lastly, each tree is attached to a piece of weathered driftwood and meticulously adjusted to create the final product.
Below are some examples of my current art.
The measurements are of the tree (WxH), not including base.
