Hi. Last September I took a tiny pine tree from the fields and potted it. Since then, it was on the balcony all the time, even during winter. In the linked gallery the first photo is from 04.06, the rest is fresh. I've read a few bonsai guides, but to be honest, I still have no clue how to start. I just want to work on it in some way and make it pretty. Currently it's 23 cm tall, 6 cm from the soil to the first main branches and another 7 cm to the top shoots. The light green shoots on the top and sides sprouted this year. I think I'd like it to be ~35 cm tall in its final form, with a few branches including the first two that are already there. Also, the needles are way way too long.
I live in Poland and as I said, it survived potting in September and whole winter, so I think it's pretty healthy. It's the beginning of summer now. I need to know how to start working on it and what I can do right now.

Please post pictures on the forum. I now cannot see your pine (and I don't open external links).

You can wire the trunk and give it a basic, initial shape (if it is strong enough), but other than that, let it grow for a couple of years. Meanwhile, start studying pines. They are not the easiest to train for beginners.

Here's one of the photos:

Thanks for the reply. So, there's no real work I can do on the tree other than wiring? No prunning, plucking, cutting? Just 'let it be'?

It's way too young.
Yes, let it grow.

I would let it get bigger, let the trunk get thicker. Pines are slow growers so it will take a few years. Get your self some other material to work on wail you wait. This site has a lot of info on pines, also check out bonsai Mari Ryan Neil has some good videos about pines on YouTube
