Here is my shohin display from the Virtual Show. The show was excellent by the way!
The tree on the left is a Sub-alpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) and on the right is a Limber pine (Pinus flexilis).
Anyway, I had several different set-ups that I played around with (Several I didn't like enough to even photograph). I chose a combination of my ideas, but I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas for what I could have done differently, or what you like/dislike about the displays below.
Keep in mind, at this point in time I only own one singular shohin stand. I would like to expand on that eventually, but for now one is all I've got.
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 2 is my favorite. I like the consistent theme and simplicity of the stands. Trees engage more with each other with the right-side stones moving left.
#1, do I get the bottle of wine, as you will not need it?
Dan, Going for #1 image. Darn, thought #4 added a bit of whimsey. Pauline
Just for fun, and a sense of scale, here's one more photo. (not a display option...) 😉
