Inspired Explorers
These are the people who
were inspired by others to shape trees. This
group of
people had various influences, which started them on the path of
shaping trees. For some it was writings, drawings, photos of shaped
trees or existing shaped trees.
These inspired people fall into two groups.
The ones that took the initial spark and developed it to try to make it
a reality.
The ones that saw the shaped trees, were so impressed by them that they
would
work towards understanding how the trees were shaped.
As the shaping methods
become more defined, the path will become
clearer
and many devotees will follow.
