Red paper or wax paper collected by ordinary white newspapers can also be substituted, but only five or six pieces can be engraved at a time, and the details and patterns are not easy to engrave. The colored paper dyed from Xuan paper and local paper is not bright, simple, thick and distinctive.
Tools:
Meat cutters are generally divided into two types: large meat cutters have long teeth and are good at biting off the overall shape of models. They are characterized by large bite force, long and straight lines, fast speed and no fatigue. However, the big meat cutter with long hinged teeth is not getting better, and it is not easy to deal with the pattern of curve modeling. Therefore, the big carving knife is suitable for cutting the outer contour of carved paper.
The teeth of a small carving knife are generally three or four centimeters long, small and exquisite, and are most suitable for decorative carving. In addition, the technique of "roughening" on animal images is also realized with a small carving knife. However, a small carving knife is not suitable for carving long lines, because the teeth are short, and the lines are easy to leave a hem and lose the feeling of fluency. Therefore, the combination of large and small carving knives is the most suitable.
Auxiliary tools: wax plate, awl, ruler, paste.
