Chapter 499: Unique Craft
It's like seeing his old self, and the combination of jerky skills and skillful techniques brings him a violent visual impact.
In fact, this Mr. Lu has studied his works before, right?
Otherwise, how could it be possible to capture the charm in his work, and reproduce it so perfectly.
Master Zhouchuan looked at Lu Ahui with surprise as if he had discovered a new continent.
Could this young man from China be an opportunity given to him by God?
Just when he was secretly happy and was about to wait for him to finish and have a good chat with him, Lu Ahui frowned.
Lu Ah Hui actually didn't do it at first, although he held the materials and tools in his hands, it was not so much to study carefully and get familiar with them, but to observe.
He was observing Master Zhouchuan's movements.
Every step, every detail is seen with great care.
When Master Zhouchuan finished all the previous ones and began to engrave them with chisels, Lu Ahui suddenly understood.
Ah, that's the same as gold and silver!
However, the difference is that the gold and silver are drawn after the gold is melted, which is a bit similar to the silver filigree.
He followed Master Zhouchuan's steps all the way, and because he was used to holding a carving knife, he did not use a chisel, but continued to carve slowly with a carving knife and a small hammer.
He enjoyed the process very much.
Because he found that the craftsmanship of this procedure, after he had the foundation of wood carving, jade carving, gold and silver wrong, for him, gold carving was like a combination of several crafts.
At first, it will feel jerky, but it is getting more and more comfortable, and there is even a feeling of completely letting go of yourself.
And because the material is gold, there is no need to worry about it breaking, and it is easier to do.
But after doing this, Lu Ahui found that this method was very boring!
If you can add other metals to the inlay, why can't you draw the wire?
If this pattern can be pulled a little thinner, it will obviously look better!
"What's wrong?" Master Zhouchuan saw him stop and looked at him very worriedly: "Are you in trouble?" I'll take a look...... Here you can set a small piece of silver or gemstone, and the effect may be better. ”
"No......" Lu Ahui frowned, and gestured on it with a carving knife: "I don't like this feeling of being too heavy, I want to make it a little lighter......"
Light?
Master Zhouchuan frowned slightly, and looked at him with some suspicion: Does this person really know how to carve gold?
But the heart of talent transcends this faint unpleasantness, and he patiently explains: "Engraving gold is a very classical craft, and what it wants is a sense of historical heaviness and lightness...... This kind of word has nothing to do with carved gold. ”
Is it like this?
Looking at the semi-finished product in his hand, Lu Ahui became even more entangled.
Coldly, a cold voice came from the side: "Do it if you want to, did I teach you to be timid?"
Although there was no trace of sternness, Lu Ahui felt that the hairs on his body exploded when he heard it.
He raised his head suddenly, and was stunned: "Master......"
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Zi'an stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes clear: "Master Zhouchuan is carved gold, but yours is metal engraving process, it is normal for the two to be different, you use different ones, it is innovation, what does it matter?"
Abide by the rules, and dare not insist when you notice an abnormality, this is by no means the style of Baigongmen!
"Okay! I understand!" With the master to rely on, Lu Ahui suddenly came with confidence.
Master Zhouchuan didn't even have time to stop it, but he saw Lu Ahui knock one of the thin gold nuggets directly with a hammer.
The carving knife took advantage of the good ductility of gold and cut it directly into many small strips.
Hammer it again and again until it is as slender as you feel fit.
Master Zhouchuan was completely dumbfounded, and with his straight line thinking, he couldn't understand it at all.
How did it become a metal engraving process?
And what the hell is innovation!
In his cognition, art is a very strict thing, and every step must be made in strict accordance with the requirements, and once a small step is not done properly, it is also a failure.
In the jargon of the puppet country, it is: "Don't care!"
However, looking at Lu Ahui, he couldn't apply this comment to him.
Don't care?
The gold and silver wires, which are as thin as silk, are clamped one by one with tweezers, wound around the ring, and braided.
The intersection of warp and weft gradually extends, creating a delicate texture on the originally heavy and simple ring.
Like fabric, like lace.
In his surprised eyes, Lu Ahui became more and more handy.
He was like a creator, and the filigree took root under his hand and blossomed into brilliant flowers.
The patterns are interdependent but independent, and each angle is interesting.
When weaving to the back, Lu Ahui paused, held his breath, and slowly reversed them against each other in the same way as weaving a scarf.
It's the same method he was taught, so it hides the thread perfectly.
Gold threads are intertwined with silver threads, and the flowers are woven elegantly and delicately.
The originally delicate and simple gold ring is wrapped in this layer of texture, adding a touch of femininity.
"It's so beautiful, if this silver filament can wrap diamonds, it will definitely make people crazy......" Master Zhouchuan couldn't help but fantasize about that picture, and suddenly felt that he was quite excited.
Can carved gold be made so beautifully?
"Master!" Lu Ahui stood up happily and held the ring to ask for credit: "Look, are you doing well?"
What do you mean it's okay? Master Zhouchuan's heart ached a little.
If his apprentice could make such a work, he would simply ......
Oh yes, he doesn't have an apprentice.
"Yes...... Not bad. Lu Zi'an gently twisted the ring, his gaze a little distant: "Master Zhouchuan." ”
Master Zhouchuan, who was immersed in the sadness that he had no apprentice, subconsciously sighed.
"Look, doesn't this look like carved gold?"
Master Zhouchuan was stunned, revealing a hint of incredulity: "Weaving and carving gold?"
That's impossible.
Weaving gold carving is a gold carving technique that was used by goldsmiths during the Renaissance and has gradually been lost.
This exquisite craft, which originated in Italy, has been preserved as the essence of traditional art among a few "art families", of which Buccellati is an outstanding representative.
In the field of goldsmithing and jewelry, woven carved gold plays the role of a "savior", bringing the Renaissance craft tradition to the highest and most beautiful level.
Today, weaving and engraving has become an iconic technique in Buccellati.
No one can replicate it, it's Buccellati's unique skill.
The artistic creation of each piece requires more than 70 Italian artisans, and it takes a whole year of master craftsmen to produce a large piece of silverware.
In Italy, Buccellati has been deified in the world of jewellery because of this craft.
It is the only jewelry brand that has remained in its original location since its inception.
The carved gold of the puppet country, no matter how complicated, still floats on the surface.
Therefore, no matter how exquisite their works are, the price still stays within a certain limited range and cannot be surpassed.
And in Buccellati, take any piece of work, and the price of it is something they can only look up to.
It's not that no one has ever thought of studying the art of weaving gold, but without its essence, nothing can be studied, because they simply cannot achieve the precision required for this skill.
If weaving and gold carving is really so simple, how can it become the root of Buccellati?
Now, in the tea room of his house, in the hands of such a young man, who has not even dried up, Lu Zi'an told him that this is woven carved gold?
"No way. Master Zhouchuan decisively denied it, and he took his eyes off the ring, deliberately emphasizing: "Weaving and engraving gold is a unique craft in Buccellati, Italy. ”
"yes. Lu Zi'an smiled: "Before the metal engraving process was transmitted to the puppet country, it was also a unique craft in China. ”
Since the metal engraving process can take root and grow in the puppet country, why can't the weaving and gold carving be studied by his apprentices?
It makes sense, and Zhouchuan is speechless.
He looked down and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Yuki Shiraki.
Shiraki Yuki, who was originally trying to reduce his sense of existence, had a sense of crisis spontaneously, but he couldn't escape it, and he really couldn't say it.
Master Zhouchuan pulled him aside, and the two discussed something in a low voice.
couldn't hear what they were saying, so the disciples simply surrounded Lu Zi'an and them.
"Master, is this really woven carved gold?"
"Weaving gold carving looks pretty simple, I feel like I'd like to try it. ”
"yes, I think it's like a combination of silver filigree and carved gold......"
That's true.
Lu Zi'an gave an encouraging look: "That's true, in fact, sometimes I like to combine things like this, such as a simple process, if you want to make it complex and colorful, you can combine another process that is too complicated and trivial, and the combination of the two can promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, and sometimes there will be miraculous results." ”
Is that so?
All the disciples said that they had been taught, and they would try it when they returned.
However, Zhao Chongshan took the ring and looked at it for a long time, smacking his tongue: "Well, it's so good-looking!
I took several photos with my mobile phone and uploaded them directly to Weibo, which was great!
This process was very relaxed and pleasant, and Lu Zi'an did not stop it when he saw it.
Baigongmen's official Weibo has just been established, so there is nothing wrong with such more exposure.
After a while, Bai Mu Yugui walked over with a strange face: "This, Master Lu, can you take a picture of that ring for me?"
"Oh, yes. Lu Zi'an motioned for Zhao Chongshan to hand it to him.
Yuki Shiraki was about to shoot, but someone directly sent a video to connect to it, obviously the other party couldn't wait.
He hesitated, but finally took it.
The camera was facing him at first, and the other party was startled when he saw a magnified face, and said hello with an unnatural smile: "Hi ......"
But when he turned the camera, he didn't have time to pay attention to Yuki Shiraki's response, and his face became frightened and surprised: "Oh my God, my God......"
