Saving all sentient beings, the whole process of jade Guanyin carving

With awe for Buddhism and my own understanding of figure sculpture. Judging from the color trend of the material, it is a piece of material suitable for Buddhist themes. The places where the color bands float are just right for carving dragons, combined with the kind eyes and face of Guanyin. The two create a contrast between stillness and movement.

When the jade rough material is illuminated by light, this kind of material can give people a pleasing feeling.

Comparing the hands-on photos, there is a good contrast in size and color. The color of jade is very important. There is a saying in the industry that "a one-level color difference means a ten-fold price difference", so jade photography is very particular about the true color restoration.

Design draft: Two pieces are chosen to make figures to better show the characteristics of the wool material, and adjustments are made to the material shape. Good color areas are retained as much as possible, and clever color treatment is given to areas with floating cotton. Left: Free and Easy Guanyin. Right: Saving All Living Beings. Do saving all living beings first, and leave free and easy Guanyin for later.

It is really important to remove the extra edges and corners so that a piece of jade has a regular shape, and it is also important to pay attention to comfort when wearing it.

The facial details of Guanyin have come out, but the dragon head has not yet been detailed.
