(A) there is no double happiness around the cutting pattern
It is very simple to cut double happiness without patterns around it, which is much easier than cutting double happiness with patterns around it. However, it is the basis of cutting double happiness pictures. Only with a thorough understanding of double happiness can we study and create a set of methods to cut double happiness pictures. Even if you learn the ready-made cutting method, you should first seriously learn the method of cutting double happiness.
1. The simplest cutting method
① Fold the paper for double happiness cutting (square paper or paper with a length-width ratio of 3: 2) vertically twice on the reverse side. ② Fold the paper folded into strips horizontally into three equal parts. ③ Fold a part of both ends (one third of the total length) in half twice. ④ Fold the folded total length in half again. ⑤ Cut two holes as shown in the figure. (Figure 8)
2. Fold vertically twice and cut into seven equal parts.
① Fold the paper vertically twice to form a strip. (2) Fold a midline vertically and still open. ③ Divide the length into seven equal parts. ④ According to the mode
Cut it. Be careful not to reverse creases and creases. (Figure 9)
3. Fold and cut into two pieces.
① Fold the paper vertically twice into strips; (2) horizontally folding the paper folded into strips into three equal parts; (3) Fold the two equal parts in half, and cut out the "X" between the two characters according to the figure; (4) Fold the other copy twice, and cut off the word "teacher" at the top according to the figure. (Figure 10)
4. The combination of Yin and Yang cutting method
① Fold the paper vertically twice into strips; (2) horizontally folding the paper folded into strips into three equal parts; (3) Fold the two equal parts in half, and cut out the "X" between the two characters according to the figure; (4) At a proper distance from the upper part, cut off the uppermost part and compare the distance between them.
Fold and cut a space. (Figure 1 1)
5. Change and modification of the font itself (Figure L2)
Second, paper-cutting mainly pursues the unique changes of window grilles. It is necessary to distinguish a paper-cut window grillage from other paper-cut window grillage creations, and at the same time, it should conform to some folk stories and traditional cognition that people usually pay attention to. This requires producers to think more about life and feel more about art, especially the paper-cut window at the wedding, which should match the atmosphere of the wedding and ensure that people can finally express their good wishes.
As can be seen from this paper-cut pattern of window grilles, this dual demand has been met. The theme is still the familiar "beaming". Magpie and plum blossom are very vivid, and the texture of magpie itself is too complicated, which affects its foil effect as a whole. Under the two magpies, you can see an ingot-shaped structure. This design links the whole pattern together completely, which is very clever.
1. tracing, according to the characteristics of this paper-cut window grilles, it can be seen that the pattern of this window grilles is symmetrical, so when tracing, you can proceed to the next operation as long as you draw half of the picture.
2. Preparation before paper-cutting: Take a few pieces of red colored paper as the basic material of window grilles, first fix the paper with a stapler, then fold it in half along the central axis, and then fix it with the front trace.
3. Paper-cutting and paper-cutting. The patterns cut out in this paper-cutting course for window grilles are not complicated, but some internal grain cutting operations need carving knives. Plum blossom itself is a central symmetrical pattern, which can be cut in a partially symmetrical way, which requires that too much paper should not be put in the origami in the previous step, so as not to affect the subsequent operation.
It is generally believed that beaming is a very common theme in paper-cutting with happy characters. Especially if the couple get married in spring or winter, the jubilant theme is very suitable for the paper-cut production of window grilles. Plum blossom itself is also small and exquisite in image, which is very suitable for decoration and can also become the protagonist of the pattern in a jubilant theme.
Looking closely at the paper-cut of this kind of happy-character window grillage, we can see that the pattern composition of paper-cut is very different from other paper-cut patterns, mainly reflected in the fact that the whole modeling composition is mainly rounded rectangles, and this kind of window grillage has been rare in recent years. More common are round or square. However, it is such a structure that the symmetrical pattern is full of more remarkable things.
