Bonsai penjing mudmen sculpture

Après la rehydratation, les graines sont mises au froid, température de 2 à 5°C (car il ne fait pas assez froid cet hiver!) afin de préparer la germination des semences au printemps, après le gel. La stratification artificielle optimise le taux de germination.

Some mudmen & pots that I made 2 years ago with brown Yi Xing clay for the body skin, and black fine clay for the rest of the figure or pot. The firing temperature was 1200°C.

I use different types of high temperature clay to create unique bonsai penjing mud figurines. Then the sculptures are baked for the first time at 500°C to eliminate water, and the second firing is from room temperature 1210°C during 12 hours. I have to wait till 2 days for cooling before opening the kiln and get a final result of the work.

Propagation by air layering is another method that I use to propagate mini bonsai or mame bonsai every year. From pine trees to Japanese maples, it takes from 1 month to 6 month to obtain a new root system. The favorite air layering period is between April and the end of July based on the temperate climate.
