Topiary
Of or characterized by the clipping or trimming of live shrubs or trees into decorative shapes
A word that I thought everyone knew, until I used it in a slightly different, slightly naughty context and found that not everyone does!
Discombobulated: To be thrown into a state of confusion.

A subject in which I feel I should train in order to become a topiary maven...
Anyone willing to allow me some practice?

Steady hands needed!
Ofcourse ... 100% concentration required whilst creating such a work of art

Plus quality control testing
Ofcourse practice makes perfect...
Just need to find a winning volunteer.
Maybe we should try a topiary calendar. 12 poses of a willing volunteer...this would also allow for a month for the mistakes to grow out and a new style to be developed.

I will sharpen my cut throat and come on round...

That sounds like a threat!
Maybe...
