Chapter 499: Unique Craft(1/2)
It was like seeing his past self. The awkward skills combined with skilled techniques brought him a strong visual impact.
Actually, Mr. Lu has studied his works before?
Otherwise, how could it be possible to capture the charm of his works and copy them so perfectly?
Master Zhouchuan looked at Lu Ahui in surprise as if he had discovered a new continent.
Could this young man from China be the opportunity given to him by God?
Just as he was secretly happy and was about to chat with him after he finished doing it, Lu Ahui frowned.
Lu Ahui actually didn't do anything at the beginning. Although he held the materials and tools in his hands, it was better to say that he was observing rather than carefully studying and familiarizing himself with it.
He was observing Master Zhouchuan's movements.
Every step and every detail is extremely careful.
After Master Zhouchuan finished all the previous ones and started to carve them with chisels, Lu Ahui suddenly realized it.
Ah, this means that it is similar to gold and silver mistakes!
But the difference is that the gold and silver mistake is to draw the wire after the gold is financed, which is a bit similar to silver filaments.
He did it all the way according to Master Zhouchuan's steps. Because he was used to holding a carving knife, he did not use a chisel, but continued to carve it slowly with a carving knife and a small hammer.
He enjoyed it very much in the process.
Because he discovered that after he had the foundation of wood carving, jade carving, and gold and silver, carving gold was like a combination of several craftsmanship.
At first I feel awkward, but I do it more and more easily, and I even feel like I completely let myself go.
And because the material is gold, don’t worry about it breaking, it will be easier to make.
But when Lu Ahui did this, he found that this technique was boring!
Since other metals that can be inlaid, why not brush wire?
If this pattern can be thinner, it will obviously look better!
"What's wrong?" Master Zhouchuan saw him stop and looked at him with great concern: "Have you encountered difficulties? Let's take a look... You can inlaid a small piece of silver or gems here, and the effect may be better."
"No..." Lu Ahui frowned and gestured with a carving knife on it: "I don't like this feeling that is too heavy, I want it to be lighter..."
Lightweight?
Master Zhouchuan frowned slightly and looked at him suspiciously: Do this person really know how to carve gold?
But the desire to cherish talent surpassed this faint unpleasantness. He patiently explained: "Gold carving is a very classical craft. It requires the heaviness and lightness of history... This kind of word has nothing to do with carving carving."
Is this like this?
After looking at the semi-finished product in his hand, Lu Ahui became even more confused.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside him: "Do it just want to do it. Is it the one I taught you to be timid?"
Although it was not a bit stern, Lu Ahui felt that her hair was blown up after hearing this.
He suddenly raised his head and was stunned at the moment: "Master..."
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Zian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes clear: "Master Zhouchuan is carving gold, but yours is metal engraving technology. It is normal for the two to be different. You have used different things, but it is innovation. What does it matter?"
I silently stick to the rules and noticed something abnormal but didn’t dare to persist. This is definitely not the style of the Baigong Sect!
"Okay! I understand!" With the master as his support, Lu Ahui immediately felt confident.
Master Zhouchuan didn't even have time to stop him, but he saw Lu Ahui knocking one of the thin gold nuggets flattened with a hammer.
The engraving knife uses the good ductility of gold and directly cuts it into many small strips.
Then hammer it repeatedly until you have the slenderness you feel is suitable for.
Master Zhouchuan was completely stunned. With his always straight thinking, he could not understand it at all.
Why has it become a metal engraving process? It is obviously a gold carving?
And what the hell is innovation!
In his perception, art is a very strict thing, and every step must be produced strictly in accordance with the requirements. Once a small step is not done properly, it will be a failure.
In the jargon of Kuangguo, it is: "No care!"
However, looking at Lu Ahui, he could not put this comment on him.
Don't worry?
The gold and silver wires as thin as silk were clamped with tweezers, wrapped around the ring, and knitted.
The intersection of the longitude and latitude gradually extends, creating a delicate texture on the originally thick and quaint ring.
It looks like fabric, and it looks like lace.
In his surprised eyes, Lu Ahui became more and more skillful.
He seemed to be a creator, with gold and silver silk falling to the ground and taking root under his hands and blooming bright flowers.
Those patterns are interdependent but independent, which is of no interest from every perspective.
When weaving it to the back, Lu Ahui paused, held his breath, and slowly hooked it against each other by knitting scarves.
This is the method he taught him, which can perfectly hide the thread.
The golden silk is wrapped around silver silk, and the woven flowers are elegant and exquisite.
The originally slim and simple golden ring has this texture wrap, adding a touch of softness.
"It's so beautiful. If the silver silk could be wrapped in diamonds, it would definitely make people crazy..." Master Zhouchuan couldn't help but fantasize about the scene, and suddenly felt that he was quite moved.
Can gold carvings be made so beautiful?
"Master!" Lu Ahui stood up happily, holding up the ring to seek credit: "Look, is it okay?"
What does it mean? Master Zhouchuan’s heart hurts a little.
If his apprentice could make such a work, he would have been...
Oh, yes, he has no apprentice.
"It's... not bad." Lu Zian gently twisted the ring, his eyes a little distant: "Master Zhouchuan."
Master Zhouchuan, who was immersed in the sadness of not having an apprentice, subconsciously said.
"Look, does this look like weaving gold carving?"
Master Zhouchuan was stunned, revealing an incredible expression: "Weaving pattern and carving gold?"
This is impossible.
Weaving gold carving is a gold carving technique that was used by goldsmiths during the Renaissance and gradually lost.
This exquisite craft originated in Italy and has always been preserved among a few "art families" as the essence of traditional art. Bucilati is an outstanding representative of it.
In the field of gold art and jewelry creation, weaving and gold carving acts as the "savior", bringing the Renaissance craft tradition to the highest and most beautiful realm.
Today, weaving and gold carving has become the iconic craft of Buchelati.
No one can copy it, it is Buchelati's unique skill.
The artistic creation project of each work requires more than 70 Italian craftsmen to complete it. Making a large silverware requires a full year of working hours for the craftsman to complete it.
In Italy, Bucilati has been deified in the jewelry industry because of this craft.
It is the only jewelry brand that has been left on the original site since its establishment.
No matter how complex the gold in the Puppet Kingdom is, it still floats on the surface.
Therefore, no matter how exquisite their works are, the prices are still within a limited range and cannot be surpassed.
And in Bucilati, if you take a piece of work, the price is something they can only look up to.
It’s not that no one has ever thought about studying weaving and gold carving, but without its essence, they can’t find anything because they simply cannot achieve the accuracy required by this skill.
If weaving and carving gold is really that simple, how could it be the foundation of Buchelati?
Now, in his tea room, in the hands of a young young man who was so young and even had a bad stomach, Lu Zi'an told him that this is the weaving of gold and carving?
"Impossible." Master Zhouchuan decisively denied it. His eyes pulled away from the ring and deliberately emphasized: "Weaving and carving gold is the unique craft of Italian Bucilati."
"Yes." Lu Zian smiled: "Before the metal engraving technology was introduced to the Puji Kingdom, it was also China's unique technology."
Since the metal engraving technology can take root and sprout in the Puppet Kingdom and gradually grow, why can't weave patterns and gold carving be studied by his apprentices?
What he said makes sense, Zhouchuan was speechless.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Yuki Shiraki.
Yuki Shiraki, who had originally tried to reduce his sense of existence, felt a sense of crisis arising from it, but he could not escape it. He was really indescribable.
Master Zhouchuan pulled him aside, and the two of them whispered to discuss something.
Unable to hear what they were saying, the disciples simply surrounded Lu Zi'an and the others.
"Master, is this really a weaving gold carving?"
"Weaving and gold-carved looks quite simple, I feel like I want to try it."
