Journal of my Unnamed Scape

[Kaushik]

Hi everyone
Though I started this scape from Dashera onwards and taking feedbacks from experts. As Rajivjee and Parthapratim asked me to start a journal, so here it is...Here I'm trying to follow the sketch having 2 straight falls with some miniature tree at the back side. First day I just follow a mock exercise in a tray with river sand and rocks. Just emphasizing to create a slope and layers. Later on I put all this rocks in a glass aquarium to have a initial scape view.

The next step was to filled the surface with ADA, white sand and detailing works using dry twig and roots. At this stage I got a lot of encouragement and first hand knowledge from Partha our guide without his sincere help the scape will never taken this shape.

Afterwards more detailing and rocks adjustment taken place.. Finally I got the hardscape which I think at the very beginning. This is a slow and gradual process to develop the desired hardscape but I enjoyed each and every moment..I well come your suggestions regarding rock and twig arrangement, plantations, fishes etc.

Your initial idea and trials were enough to reach this level.

Hope after plantation it will look an awesome work.
