Xishang eyebrow paper cutting tutorial and paper cutting pattern
In ancient times, people regarded magpies as a symbol of good luck and happiness. If you can hear the cry of magpies in front of and behind someones house, it means that there will be happy events for that family. This love for magpies has gradually transferred from peoples understanding to hand-made patterns and textures. The image and figure of magpies can be seen in many paper-cut works. Plum blossoms are often regarded as a symbol of the coming spring, and naturally they also mean joy and vitality. At the same time, the word "mei" for plum blossom has the same pronunciation as the word "mei" for eyebrow, so we often see the paper-cut theme of magpie and plum blossom together - "happy eyebrows" appearing in the creation of paper-cut art.
As you can see from the paper-cut pattern in the paper-cut tutorial, the shape of the magpie is very vivid and lively, and it is integrated with the branches of the plum blossoms, forming a very pleasant spring scene. It should be noted that it is quite difficult to make the plum blossom pattern. Although you can see that the paper-cutting operation of the plum blossom pattern is relatively fragmented, but it is done casually with care, which also makes the flowers different and fragrant.
1. Preparation work before paper-cutting: prepare several single-sided colored papers to be stacked and placed, and use a stapler to fix the colored papers to ensure that they will not slip during the operation.
2. Tracing. This paper-cut pattern is relatively complex. The recommended operation method can be rough tracing by hand, so that details can be continuously added to it during the specific operation to ensure the variability of the production.
3. Paper-cutting and engraving. For paper-cutting with a more complex structure, paper-cutting enthusiasts can grasp the large outline and create independently during the specific paper-cutting process. They do not necessarily have to stick to the paper-cutting pattern itself. , and in terms of depicting some detailed textures, you can rely on the precision of carving and cutting.
