High-quality blue water-bottom jadeite, the jade carving master did not carve the lucky melon, but carved it

Jade must be crafted, the craftsmanship must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious!

Jade pendants are different from other types of jade pendants. They do not excessively pursue square and neat shapes. If the jade raw material is of high quality and distinctive appearance, even a small piece of leftover material can be carved into a favorite pendant!

Therefore, we often see some inconspicuous jade scraps, which become very exquisite small ornaments after the jade carving master’s imaginative ideas!

Today I would like to share with my jade friends the process of carving a small scrap of material with a blue water bottom. After the raw stone is cut and taken out, the materials taken out are all some irregular small materials. Although this material looks inconspicuous, but if you reflect the light slightly, you can see that the material is old and moist, with fine texture and no impurities, emitting a moist and transparent glass light!

If materials of this quality are used properly in the creation, the finished product will definitely surprise you!

After the jade carving master removed some fine lines and edges from the raw material, he obtained a small oval-shaped piece of material. Compared with the previous irregular shape, it is now much more beautiful in appearance. At first glance, doesn’t it look like a lucky melon? To be honest, if you use this material to polish a melon, the product will definitely be plump and moist, and the effect will be perfect!

But the jade carving master finally gave up the idea of ​​making a lucky melon and started to conceive a new subject for the carving! You can leave a message here to discuss whether it is better to make Fugua or the following topics?

The jade carving master gave up the lucky melon and conceived the theme of "Wishing My Son to Become a Dragon": the top of the raw material was made into a flower head imitating an antique dragon head, while the full lower part of the material remained smooth and plain. This composition not only allows the material to have exquisite carvings to reflect the craftsmanship, but also retains the glossy surface through clever composition design, tapping into the natural light of the blue water jadeite!

When using round sculpture to carve antique themes, the symmetry of the pattern must be well grasped! The carvings on antique faucets will not be as complicated and have intricate lines as modern faucets! The image of the dragon is outlined by just a few simple flowing lines. The proportion and smoothness of the lines are the key to the beauty of the dragon head!

The jade carving master uses delicate and exquisite techniques to carve the dragon head, and uses a simple water pattern to carve the dragon body, which means the dragon body is coiled. This is what I often say. In jade carving, one must clearly distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and combine the real and the virtual. In this composition, the dragon head is the main body, so it must be carved finely. The dragon body is a secondary embellishment, and it should be treated with a more virtual touch to give people room for imagination!

On the back of the pendant, in addition to carving the dragon head's hair and scales to make the dragon head more vivid and three-dimensional, the front part of the dragon body must also be treated with water so that after polishing, the finished product will be more transparent and moist!

For high-quality blue water jadeite like this, we never have to worry about its polishing effect. What we should do is estimate how big a surprise it can give us!

Compared to the plain-crafted lucky melon - although the lucky melon is also very beautiful and has a good meaning (full of blessings)! But I prefer the composition of "Wishing My Son to Become a Dragon", which not only makes full use of the water quality of the material, but also adds wonderful carving creativity. Moreover, the meaning of "Wishing My Son to Become a Dragon" is also very beautiful!
