47 knife work
Ziqing and Jiajia practiced walking for a while, and when they saw that Jiajia was also very tired, they smiled and said, "Let's go, go to my house and wash up, I have good things to show you." ”
"Okay, you've carved the jade well?" Jiajia thought that the jade they bought was ready.
"No, I haven't started carving yet, I bought some foam jade to practice the feel and strength, you have to be familiar with the heart to have the right head to go under the knife, how can you come up and carve it, it's still early, don't worry." Ziqing didn't mean to start carving.
She hadn't used a knife for many years, and her hands were rusty, so she asked Zhao Yang to buy some foam jade to come back to practice and exercise her feel.
"Oh, I'm not in a hurry." Jiajia didn't care when she heard it.
Ziqing took her to the bathroom to freshen up, and when Jiajia came out, she took a box to her, opened it and looked at it, Jiajia suddenly exclaimed happily, "It's so beautiful, is this what you did?" That's amazing. ”
In the box is a delicate and beautiful rag doll, the rag doll is very beautiful and good-looking, the hair is sewn into the real hair thread, the eyes are black pearls, the body is wearing a dark purple satin beard, the placket is inlaid with a two-foot wide edge, embroidered moire crane pattern, the bottom is a red pleated skirt, the belt around the waist is hooked with a jade ring, the neckline is ruby, the whole shape is free and neat and beautiful and exquisite, beautiful, it can be called a work of art.
"Good boy, how did you do that?" Jiajia groped gently, and the surprise in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
"This hair is a wig set bought outside, and the clothes are embroidered by myself, and the inside is filled with wooden bones and cotton, which is a miniature version of the puppet man you see outside, and I wrapped several layers of cotton. To you. Ziqing was also very happy to see that Jiajia liked herself.
Jiajia saw the gems and black pearls on it, and wanted to excuse herself, but when she saw Ziqing's expectant and happy eyes, her bright eyes did not show a trace of variegation, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, "Okay, I like it so much." Can I take this dress off? ”
"Yes, you see I've made you a few more different clothes, you can change her clothes when you go back." Ziqing took out the other beautiful Hanfu in the box and showed it to her.
"Oops, it's so pretty. You're not a designer. Jiajia sighed.
"Hehehe, that's my hobby." Ziqing likes to embroider things very much, and she has a sense of accomplishment when she watches beautiful clothes and purses gradually take shape in her hands.
"Great, I like this gift." Jiajia carefully packed up her things.
"I've got to do it for Sissi, it's a little different from yours." Ziqing also took out Sissi's and showed it to him.
This doll is obviously a little soft and cute, and the clothes are curved and skirted, and the neckline is also decorated with black pearls and blue and yellow tourmaline.
"The decorations you gave us are too expensive, and ordinary fakes are fine." Jiajia endured and endured and still said.
Ziqing smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, of course you have to give the best gift to your friends, how can there be any reason to send fakes." ”
"Okay, I can't talk about you, I like the gift very much, so I'm not polite to you." Jiajia is also a cool girl, and she accepted it generously without overseas Chinese affection.
Ziqing was really happy that her friend didn't care about giving face like this.
The two of them were chattering in the house and didn't know what to say, and when it was almost time to eat in the afternoon, they heard the sound of their grandmother's shouting.
Jiajia stayed here to eat before returning home, Ziqing has not drawn talismans for the past few days, she is thinking about carving, and she is now carving a very cheap foam jade, which is used to practice.
The jade talisman should be carved according to the texture of the jade, and there is no regret when the knife is made, and the whole piece of jade will be ruined if it is wrong, so even Ziqing needs to practice more on the bad jade.
Ziqing carved a lot of pendants, planning to start from a small one, and now has carved a lot of flat pendants and a variety of jade pendants, and now begins to carve three-dimensional hollow pendants, and gradually regains the original feel and craftsmanship step by step.
Ziqing took a piece of foam jade and looked at it repeatedly under the lamp, drew a few lines with a pen to mark it, and it took a long time before starting to go under the knife.
The speed of her knife is not fast but surprisingly steady, carving slowly one by one, gradually getting a little sample, and the work is completed after two hours.
It is a five-blessing longevity model, the whole process is hollow carving techniques, it looks very beautiful, the knife is sharp and atmospheric, very aura.
Ziqing only carefully examined it for a long time after carving, and then let out a long breath, "It seems that you can do it." ”
With the practice of these days, the use of a variety of knife techniques has become very familiar, and it is possible to carve on jade.
I plan to carve pendants for them first, then make ornaments, and finally carve jade talismans.
Uncle Zhang wants to ask his old mother for a long and peaceful life, no illness and no disaster, so it is very good to use the shape of the birthday star cloud crane, and the luck of Sissi itself is very good, and the shape of a bat is good. However, Jiajia's blessing is not very thick, far from a smooth life like Sissi, and carving a unicorn auspicious rui is very suitable for her. The others also have their own arrangements and ideas.
Ziqing first took out the Hetian jade and carefully cut a small piece according to the texture, ready to carve two for Uncle Zhang, one for his mother and one for him.
As Ziqing calmly continued to cut down, Tianfang gradually turned white, and finally carved the two pendants without rest all night.
Because it is all hand-carved, both the shape and the knife are very aura, as long as it is slightly polished and polished.
Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at it, took a piece of sandpaper out of time and slowly began to polish.
This polishing is far more laborious than the knife, it is a very meticulous work, but Ziqing is a more serious person, if you want to do it, you will do your best to be perfect, or you will not do it at all.
The sky was getting brighter, Ziqing, who had to exercise in the morning every morning, didn't go to exercise, Zhao Yang was a little strange and shouted downstairs and ran up to see if he was sick.
"Dad, why did you come up, I'm almost done." Ziqing raised her head with a dusty face and smiled.
"You've got it, I'll see." Zhao Yang saw at a glance that his daughter had carved the Pixiu pendant.
Pick it up and look at it carefully, the eyes burst out with surprise and appreciation, handmade three-dimensional hollow carving, the knife is precise and skillful, without a trace of hesitation, the whole pendant shows a unique aura, not to mention this jade, this carving is worth 1.8 million.
"What a carver!"
Ziqing blew the ash of the jade and cleaned it before saying: "I used to learn from folk artists, in order to be able to carve the best jade talismans, I painted for a full thirty years in the mortal world to visit old artists of various factions to learn carving skills, and I haven't practiced for many years. ”
"That's good, it's definitely a master's craft. This is for your Uncle Zhang, is it enlightened? Zhao Yang asked.
"Not yet, wait for Jiajia and their carvings to open the light formation together, so it will save trouble."
