Micro-sculpture is the most delicate and tiny handicraft in China traditional arts and crafts. Micro-sculpture is a kind of pocket art with the essence of China culture. It is a branch of carving techniques and a sect of micro-carving. Micro-carving generally refers to fine round carving, relief carving and through carving.
Micro-sculptures are mostly things of similar nature. The micro-carving is outstanding and full of three-dimensional sense. It can even be carved on ivory pieces, bamboo pieces or a few millimeters of hair, and its works can only be seen with a magnifying glass or microscope, so it has been called "stunts" throughout the ages.
Production process:
Micro-sculpture pays special attention to the selection of materials, and its stone quality is absolutely pure, and there is no room for any sand or half-silk cracks, because half a sand spot may destroy a beautiful picture or more than 10 Chinese characters.
Secondly, the micro-carving tool is also a special thin knife, which should be sharp and sharp.
Third, you must have a specialized knowledge of calligraphy and Chinese painting, and you can only "carve" and "carve" when carving.
Fourth, hold your breath on the spot, concentrate, and do it in one go.
Fifth, the knife should be transported steadily, accurately and steadily. The micro-carving knife is just a pen, and its skill is insufficient. Because of a little out of control, the knife is not satisfactory. We must pay attention to the calligraphy effect when matching micro-carving inscriptions on micro-carving works. Those who see the big and show ugliness, the words are skewed, the lines are uneven, the pictures are inaccurate and the collocation is unbalanced, which the creators should avoid.
Sixth, we should grasp the artistic effect of line changes produced by tools and stones. Only in this way can calligraphy and knife-cutting achieve perfect unity.
