Yuanyang Guizi’s wedding paper-cut pattern and paper-cut tutorial
In traditional wedding paper-cut patterns, the image of mandarin duck is very common. This is the mandarin duck which has been regarded as a symbol of loyalty to love and marriage since ancient times. The mandarin duck itself does have such characteristics. Generally speaking, the male is called "yang", while the female is called "yang". Mandarin ducks often stop courting for life after losing their partner. Nowadays, more and more people use mandarin ducks to wish their husbands and wives a harmonious life.
Judging from the pattern used in this paper-cutting tutorial, it mainly uses a pattern like "Mandarin Duck" with lotus flowers to combine the two meanings of "harmony between husband and wife" and "continuous birth of precious children" after marriage. The corresponding flowers and leaves growing from the same lotus root symbolize the husband and wifes "joint base and one heart". The combination of mandarin ducks and lotus flowers, as a classic among traditional paper-cut patterns, is brought to the extreme in this paper-cut creation.
1. Preparation work before paper-cutting. Before paper-cutting, several single-sided colored papers need to be stacked and placed, and then fixed with a stapler so that the paper will not slip during the operation.
2. Tracing. Although this paper-cut pattern has strong symmetry, it is still relatively complex. Computer drawing can be used to obtain the basic pattern.
3. Paper-cutting and engraving and cutting. This paper-cutting is relatively symmetrical. You can complete the basic cutting in an overall symmetrical way, and then engrave and cut some local details to complete the final operation.
