Desert Bonsai
Everyone deserves to own a barren spot to fill a void in their life | |
Many people have been awe struck by
visiting a desert, their eyes squinting
against the blazing light as they scanned
the endless horizons of ever changing, but
seemingly timeless dunes.
With Desert Bonsai, you can now own a
little piece of that same desert to
experience in your own home,
office or
even your car. It consists of a hand made
bowl into which has been placed a sample
of genuine sand from the desert of your
choice.
Once you have positioned your Bonsai
bowl, an environmental artist/technician
(possibly myself) will come and sculpt an
individual dune in it using a powerful
blower. Each dune is certified as unique
and unrepeatable. A dried bone fragment,
miniature cattle skull, or shrivelled, dead
cacti stump completes the arrangement.
All you need do now is sit back and watch,
after you have switched on the powerful
heat lamp that mimics the daily action of a
traversing sun, rising at dawn and sinking
to a bright red shimmering orb at dusk.
Desert Bonsai only requires watering once
every ten years and comes with a money
back guarantee that it will grow nothing.
Extra dunes and bleached bones are
available on request. Mini Zen Garden

i have always found deserts to be not
happy places. see, they're kinda hot on
average. the heat, the heat can be a bit of
a problem. take away the lamp, and i'll
take one. |

I thought: "Desert Bonsai... sounds a bit pedestrian really, now Bonsai Desert - *that* would be an idea". But I read it anyway and Bonsai Desert is exactly what you've described. Have a carefully baked miniature croissant. |

"Crudely made bowl of sand" Be sure to charge at least $299. |
|
| |
not crudely made.... exquisitely, exotically
fashioned - individual grains positioned to
perfection under magnification using
specially designed sand moving tweezers. |
|
| |
careful, those tweezers can put tiny scratches on those perfect grains of sand. Perhaps using an electrostatically charged cat whisker would be better. |

You know, if you bake this in a terrarium, with a lizard or two, I'm there. |

I've baked this (sans dune)in a terrarium with lizards.
(2lepoard geckos, 3 bearded dragons) but i guess without the dune, and the finely crafted bowl, this is really just sand.... [+]. |
