Happy Events Come in Two Paper-cut Patterns and Paper-cut Tutorials
The main content of traditional Chinese paper-cutting is mainly festive, so a large number of paper-cutting creations often appear on some auspicious days. For example, during the holidays, weddings, or birthdays. However, as a skilled paper-cutting artist, you must also train and learn paper-cutting on daily basis. Anything related to auspiciousness can be expressed through paper-cutting, and the auspicious meaning can be integrated into it through the shaping of things.
This paper-cut pattern is an example of the full application of this auspicious concept. It can be seen from the paper-cut pattern that the theme is two "magpies" and two "persimmons". Magpies have been a sign of joy and happy events since ancient times. , and the reason why "persimmon" is used here is because the word "persimmon" in "persimmon" can be used to homophone the word "thing". Both magpies and persimmons come in pairs, so this paper-cut Hence the name "Happiness comes in pairs".
1. Preparation work before paper-cutting. First, stack several single-sided colored papers and fix them with a stapler to ensure that there will be no slipping during the paper-cutting or carving-cutting operations.
2. Tracing. Although this is the first time I have seen the theme of this paper-cut tutorial, the paper-cut pattern itself is not complicated. You can easily complete the tracing with ordinary hand-drawn tracing, and the details can be omitted in the tracing.
3. Paper-cutting and carving-cutting can mainly be performed in the form of paper-cutting. While practicing knife skills, paper-cutting can leave some knife marks when turning, so that the meaning of paper-cutting creation will be more intense. Of course, for small patterns, it is not a bad idea to use carving and cutting to assist.
