The scraps as big as two fingers were carved by the jade carver. I even suspected that the jade material was replaced.

There is an old saying: If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object. If jade is not carved, it will be no different from rubble. Jade carving is one of the most traditional and ancient Chinese skills, which has been passed down for thousands of years. Jade carvers can always bring surprises by applying their skills according to the materials used.

This piece of scrap material, which is two fingers in size, doesn't have any outstanding features. I didn't have any great ideas when I bought it, so I gave it to the jade carver to see what he could make of it.

Let us witness the process of this raw material turning from scraps into a fine finished product. First of all, although this piece of scrap material has a pointed shape, fortunately the thickness is good, the water quality is also OK, with a little bit of small floating flowers.

The jade carver considered it for a while and came up with an idea. He sketched out a rough shape with a few strokes. It could be roughly seen that it was an animal theme. Then he began to carve the jade.

The jade carver is quite experienced and it doesn't take long to carve. The carving is completed, it is a cute and adorable lizard. It can be seen that the details are handled very well, the lizard skin has a very strong sense of bumps and depressions, and is very vivid. The meaning of the Emerald Lizard is also very beautiful, representing a life full of hope, with implications such as endless life, continuous advancement, and bringing joy.

After polishing, the jade becomes more translucent and moist, and it looks even more lifelike when placed in a pile of imitation grass and weeds, like a color-changing lizard, showing its survival skills to escape the pursuit of the "enemy".

For a seemingly ordinary piece of jade, you can never imagine what it will become through the inspired design and "decoration" of the jade carver. The whole process is both nervous and expectant. Perhaps this is the charm of jade carving.
