Everyone wants to own jadeite with top-quality, pure color and flawless appearance, but in reality, jadeite of this quality is often very expensive, and what we often come into contact with is jade material of medium and low quality. Sometimes, although the material in the photo has many surface flaws, after careful design by the jade carver, the grade of the finished product can be improved by several levels! Just like the work I’m going to share today, it’s an example of upgrading your work through carving. This glutinous bracelet core, after being removed, has a green tint which is relatively bright, but the black spots and large cotton wool visible to the naked eye have lowered the value of the entire material a lot. Materials like this require the jade carver's ability to remove dirt and cotton and to skillfully use colors. It is no exaggeration to say that for materials like this, the value of the finished jade product is determined by the jade carver's skill. When faced with this bracelet core, the first subject matter that the jade carver considers is landscape or dragon plaque. These two subjects are more suitable for removing flaws on the bracelet core because of their complex lines. After analysis and consideration, the final design is mountains and waters: the floating green position on the bracelet core is cleverly designed as mountains, and the position with more white cotton is designed as lake water. The black spots hidden in the cotton are removed through the combination of high and low, virtual and real, and the design of the fisherman fishing can cleverly reduce the impact of the white cotton on the aesthetics. The front is carved in shallow relief, and the jade carver outlines the contours of the landscape according to the designed lines. Although it is a shallow relief, the images of the mountains and figures are very three-dimensional, which reflects the jade carver's control of lines. The back is also a shallow relief creation, the difference is that the water adjustment technique is added to the back. Through water adjustment, the light transmittance of the finished product can be greatly improved, making the glutinous material more glossy and the green more blooming. The jade carver used some tricks when polishing the finished product, and applied matte polishing in some local areas. This operation enhanced the layering of the finished pattern while further reducing the impact of cotton weight on the beauty. The water adjustment technique greatly improves the overall light transmittance of the finished landscape painting, and the green color also becomes more vivid as desired. Finally, look at the translucent picture. The dirty feeling formed by the black spots on the wool material and the heavy cotton is gone, and what is displayed is the heart-stirring bright green. fcgc66 fcgc99 |
