‘Bonsai Buildings’ add magic to ancient art form
VOV.VN - These beautifully crafted miniature buildings on display at an ornamental bonsai festival in the Long Bien District of Hanoi are stunning in their intricate detail and wonderful in the truest sense of the word.
 |
|
They are part of the capital city’s first Ornamental Plant and Pet Festival transpiring at the Vinhomes Riverside urban area in Long Bien District. |
 |
|
More than a thousand craftspeople and gardeners from across the country are participating in the event running through May 9. |
 |
|
The models are made by hand, using an X-Acto knife and glue. |
 |
|
The materials change from one project to the next and include clay, wood, plastic, resin, and steel. |
 |
|
The biggest struggles are in making the models look natural just like real buildings in northern Vietnam. |
 |
|
It takes a real aesthetic sense to reproduce real life. |
 |
|
A unique imagination is essential. |
