Technological process of carving flowers on a tiger

Paper-cutting art is commonly known as cutting flowers on the tiger and cutting flowers in the north, which is different from paper-cutting in the north. Judging from the tools used, it is cutting flowers in the south and cutting flowers in the north. From the perspective of expression, the south is fine and the north is thick. In terms of quantity, the north can cut 4-5 layers at a time, and the south can cut 10- 15 layers.

1, draft

According to people's wishes and emotions, the intention to be expressed is expressed in the form of "line". Through the change of the thickness of the line, the combination of length and density, the contrast between the "negative line" and the "positive line" is highlighted, so that the design of the manuscript can achieve harmony and unity.

2. Fix the sample.

After the sample is determined, cut the rice paper into the same size and specifications as the design sample and stack it neatly. Punch a hole with an iron needle (the punched part should be at the carving place), put paper nails (cut into triangles with raw rice paper and screwed into the shape of nails) into the pinhole and tighten them, cut off the redundant parts at both ends with scissors, and tighten each paper nail with a hammer, so that the manuscript is fixed.

3, cut hair

After the manuscript is fixed, it can be chiseled on a homemade wax plate. Tools are (wax board, carving knife, scissors, art knife, grindstone, plaster bag, hammer, iron needle, stapler). Generally, the rules of chiseling and placing are from inside to outside, from top to bottom, from complex to simple, from left to right, and the larger ones are left blank at the end. In the production process, four methods can be used: negative engraving, positive engraving, mixed engraving of yin and yang, and division of yin and yang.

Orthographic engraving: carving space, keeping the lines of objects and highlighting the outline of objects in the picture.

Lettering: It is to engrave the outline of the object image on the pattern and engrave the line part.

Mixed Yin and Yang: There are both Yin and Yang engravings in a work, which makes the work more substantial and diverse, and the picture is harmonious and unified.

Yin and yang: upper yin and lower yang, left yin and right yang or vice versa.
