From raw stone to finished product, the shaped scraps have reached a new level of beauty!

In recent years,

A special style of freehand works gradually came into everyone's sight.

It retains the random growth shape of the original stone.

With extremely simple and concise lines, light carving,

Maximize the hidden charm of the material itself

Finally, a stunning spiritual beauty is presented.

From the perspective of aesthetics alone,

This kind of free-form jade is no less than the regular jade.

So how was this kind of freehand shape created?

Let’s start with a rough stone.

Experience the entire process of creating a piece of free-form jadeite

First of all, the material.

Most of the materials used for the shape are scraps.

What is scrap?

It's just the edges and corners, it's quite fragmented

Cannot be made into a regular shape, or too much material needs to be discarded

At the same time, this kind of shape has very high requirements on the quality of the scraps.

Because only when the water is good enough, there will be an ethereal feeling.

Just like this piece of material with blue flowers floating on ice,

The color and water quality are quite beautiful.

After peeling, it becomes an irregular shape

If you want to make a serious topic, you must give up a lot of materials.

If you don't want to waste materials,

Then the most suitable and cost-effective option is:

Either polish directly to make it into an original shape

Either design it to make the artistic conception follow the shape

Design is an extremely important step in the process of following the shape.

Determines whether the finished product is beautiful but soulless, or scattered but orderly

Only designs that match the shape of the material,

Only then will there be a natural and lively charm

This free-form sculpture design features a deer as its element.

The meaning is to move forward

Taking into account the principle that work must have meaning and meaning must be auspicious

Finally, the carving.

Dare to take imperfect scraps as a challenge

Rather than a jade carver who is just practicing, the carving skills must be excellent.

Most of the carvings that follow the shape are light and graceful.

The lines are as smooth as flowing water.

Then make some simple adjustments to the overall shape.

Even before polishing, it can be seen that the coordination is much smoother.

The back is left blank.

While retaining the material, it can make the water more visible

After polishing, the details become clearer.

It seems to be in the deep clouds of the distant mountains.

A spirit deer raises its hooves and head, running freely and chasing

The transparent water makes the whole picture full of ethereal artistic conception

It is said that jade carving is an art in shackles.

This is also vividly demonstrated in the free-form creation.

The corners follow the shape to a new level of beauty.

Behind the scenes are the jade carvers’ helpless compromises and bursts of inspiration.

Create unlimited possibilities within limited conditions

This also tells us that

Good jade carving works,

It is always a perfect combination of material, design and carving.
