Chapter 100: Messy Carving Method
She grabbed the chopsticks and shook them: "Look, the size is quite appropriate, and it's pretty good, it's good." ”
Lu Zi'an looked carefully, the chopsticks are the high-grade wenge wooden chopsticks provided by the hotel, lying obliquely in the pen holder, the tip of the chopsticks is engraved with exquisite plum blossoms, lined with the light and elegant lines on the bamboo tube, there is a bit of dark fragrance floating charm, as if wood and bamboo are fused into a whole.
His eyes lit up suddenly.
Yes, why can Jinling bamboo carving only be used on bamboo?
It's too limited, too pretentious.
He couldn't help but recall Boss Tang's words in his mind: wood carving and bamboo carving are connected.
True, False......
The action of picking up the vegetables paused in mid-air, and the idea in his mind gradually took shape, and in order to verify his idea, he stopped eating, and got up as soon as he put the bowl down.
Shen Mange looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"You eat first, I'll go back when I go!"
There are several handicraft shops downstairs in Dongyang City, but only one on the corner of the bamboo tube is sold.
Lu Zi'an bought a set of carving knives and a lot of bamboo wood, because he bought a lot, so he was directly sent up.
Removing all the things on the coffee table, he knocked directly on the countertop: "Just put it here." ”
Shen Mange watched them busy with a confused expression, and only after everyone left did he ask suspiciously, "Brother Zi'an, what are you doing here?"
"I thought of a good idea!" Lu Zi'an pondered in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the better it became: "Here, this is my mobile phone, you can look back at it." ”
After speaking, he directly picked up the carving knife and began to carve, and the wood and bamboo tubes next to him were piled up into a mountain.
There is no discipline, he seems to be carving completely by feel, wood to bamboo, piece by piece, experiencing a completely different knife feeling.
Shen Mange frowned and looked at the side for a while, feeling that he couldn't understand what he was doing at all.
It's not carving at all......! It's the same in the practice of knife skills.
In fact, she guessed correctly, Lu Zi'an was practicing knife skills.
He wanted to make a new attempt to combine Chinese calligraphy, traditional decorative patterns and traditional Chinese carving.
Tradition, not tradition.
On the basis of inheriting the traditional carving of Chinese character calligraphy, he wanted to use the eclectic carving techniques of the Jinling School and combine the wood carving techniques to create a new carving method.
He believes that the birth of this new carving technique will definitely give people a powerful shock and unlimited imagination space, and bring a new breath to the current backwater deep pool of wood carving and bamboo carving industry!
After a whole night of research and continuous practice, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the window in the early morning, Lu Zi'an finally put down the carving knife.
He, he succeeded.
Hearing the movement, Shen Mange, who was sleeping in the corner of the sofa with a blanket, woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Zi'an, are you done?"
Lu Zi'an hummed, and excitedly handed the work in his hand to her: "Manman, look at this!"
"Hmm, isn't it just an ordinary wood carving......" Shen Mange yawned and reached out to take it.
This pen holder looks very simple, the boxwood is hollowed out, and the vivid green bamboo is shallowly carved on it with the technique of bamboo carving, which is neat and bright, with sharp edges and corners.
The line of poems on the right is a bas-relief technique, blended with bamboo carving, the four lines of the poem seem to be written in ink, and there is even a smooth feel of bamboo green when touched.
The more Shen Mange looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, how did it feel like a wood carving, and a bit like a bamboo carving......
She was about to ask, but as soon as she looked up and saw Lu Zi'an, she couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zi'an looked dazed.
"Look at you, all the sawdust, my God, this is ...... on the ground" Shen Mange sat up and found that the sawdust on the ground was actually piled all around the coffee table.
Lu Zi'an glanced down, patted the sawdust on his body casually, and said indifferently: "What's this, it's gone, how about it, can you see it, is this a wood carving or a bamboo carving?"
Shen Mange hesitated a little: "Well, it's a bit like a wood carving, and it's a bit like a bamboo carving, it feels, it's like a wooden ......."
She took it in her hand and checked it, and was unsure: "But it's so light, it feels like a bamboo ......."
"Haha, that's right. Lu Zi'an smiled with satisfaction: "It looks like wood from afar, and it looks like wood is bamboo, this is to confuse the real with the fake!"
Shen Mange's eyes widened and he looked at him: "I don't understand!"
"This is my newly conceived carving method!" Lu Zi'an happily turned the carving knife in his hand around his fingertips: "Messy carving method! Integrate calligraphy strokes, mainly wood carving, supplemented by bamboo carving, like wood not bamboo, like bamboo not wood, do you think, this kind of carving, can the machine do it?"
Shen Mange thought for a while and said categorically: "Absolutely impossible." ”
She had seen a lot of works in Boss Tang before, bamboo carving is bamboo carving, which is completely different from the one in her hand, this should be wood carving.
But this weighs ...... She was a little unsure again: "Brother An, is this wooden or bamboo now?"
"Bamboo carving, of course. With a flick of his left hand, Lu Zi'an took the pen holder away from her hand: "You see, if you look closely at the light, you can still see the unique texture of bamboo." ”
Nowadays, people have a kind of hunting psychology, they are not interested in general bamboo carving, just like Boss Tang said, there are cheap and exquisite works, why do people have to buy expensive ones?
Since they can't find a reason to buy expensive, then, he gives them a reason!
Lu Zi'an grabbed a knife flower, threw the carving knife on the coffee table, and went into the room with a pen holder: "I'll sleep for a while, you set an alarm clock, and call me at eight o'clock!"
Shen Mange looked at the time when he heard this, well, it was only half past five, and he fell asleep again.
At seven o'clock, Shen Mange woke up and finished washing, so he called the cleaning staff to come in and clean up.
Seeing a large pile of debris, it took half an hour to clean up, and the cleaning fee was added.
After all of them were cleared, Shen Mange found that Lu Zi'an had planed all the materials in one night, not only was there no wood left, but even the bamboo tubes were all slag.
She quietly entered Lu Zi'an's room and saw the pen holder at a glance.
It's hard to imagine that a bamboo tube can make such a delicate wood texture, if it weren't for the different feel, she really wouldn't believe that it would be a bamboo tube.
Lu Zi'an slept very deeply, she thought about it, took his hand out of the quilt, and after a closer look, she really pierced a lot of tiny bamboo thorns.
Alas......
She found the front desk and took a needle, and carefully picked out the thorns on both hands for him, and the needles were picked in the flesh, but Lu Zi'an was still sleeping soundly, and he didn't react at all.
waited until eight o'clock before she pushed him: "Brother Zi'an, it's eight o'clock." ”
Lu Zi'an was still a little dazed a few seconds after she opened her eyes, and when she said it was eight o'clock again, he suddenly woke up: "Oh, yes, it's eight o'clock!"
He reached out and touched the pen holder, and as soon as he turned over, he got up: "I ......"
"Ahh......h
