As the saying goes, "one carrot, one hole", life is like a carrot. No matter when, you need to keep your feet on the ground. In addition, in Minnan dialect, radish is called "cai tou", which is homophonic with "cai tou", so it has the meaning of getting rich and welcoming good luck. Because radish has simple yet beautiful meaning, it is often used by skillful jade carvers in their works. The leaves are green and the stems are white. Two big radishes are firmly rooted in the soil. Next to them is a well-behaved little gray rabbit looking around. Clusters of succulents are growing vigorously around them. At first glance, it is really hard to tell the real thing from the fake. This is a realistic sculpture by the young jade carver Xia Chong, titled "Boundless Land of Blessings." It is said that the transaction price was 3 million RMB that year. Let’s take a look at the creation process of this sky-high priced radish. Rough Stone To be honest, these two pieces of jade don't look very eye-catching. After all, artists must have good imagination. If it were Consultant Zhao, he would definitely not be interested in seeing such a stone with poor water quality and many cracks, let alone carving it into a radish. Rough The colors of the two original stones were cleverly used, green for leaves and white for stems, while avoiding cracks to complete the initial cutting. You know what, just looking at the rough draft is quite exciting. engraving The next step is to start carving. First, use a jade carving machine to grind out the basic shape, and then use a carving knife to process it bit by bit. Before it takes shape, think about what the final effect will be, so plant the succulents in the pot first, and add this carved bottom to the pot, which also adds a lot to the overall visual effect. Carving Fine carving is carried out on a large foundation to make every place round and delicate, and then it is polished to better present the natural luster of the jade itself. Work completed It is truly amazing to see the finished product. The author is bold and careful, and has carved such an exquisite product out of a raw stone that can almost be called "waste material". With the addition of a bunch of succulents that look like strings of coins as a backdrop, the product is lifelike, vivid and lifelike. The name "Boundless Blessings" also expresses the best wishes, which is really precious!
