The carving process of a piece of jadeite rough material, emerald green...

This piece of jade rough material is covered with black moss. If you remove it, there will be basically not much left. It is not big enough to make small pendants and egg-shaped objects. Although I have dealt with many difficult materials, this one is too exaggerated. Fortunately, the colored parts are still good. Next, I will broadcast the carving process live for everyone to witness its transformation.

It is difficult to consider how to design this kind of material. The first idea is to sort out the colors first, those that should be highlighted and those that should not be left. After the processing is completed, I begin to have a general idea in my mind.

Finally, I can see some clues. The colors I should choose are almost all highlighted. I analyzed the distribution characteristics of the colors below. The top one is the purest and the most colorful. The other colors are not right and a little dirty. The last one left is a large area of ​​black moss, which is more critical to the design. Finally, I considered making the main black moss into a bronze drum-like sandblasting treatment, the medium green for the glass dragon, and the full green for the Ruyi, which should be as smooth as possible.

Drawing, then carving

The finished product has a very spicy color. In ancient times, drums were a symbol of power and meant wealth and good fortune.

How about it, beautiful, right?
