Sichuan Mianzhu New Year Picture, "Leather Carving" New Year Picture Creative Foot

Using rotary carving tools and printing tools to depict, knock, push and squeeze leather on leather, a series of skin carving New Year paintings with different depth and different concave and convex shapes are vividly portrayed.

In June 12th, in a leather carving studio in the jade horse community of Jiannan town in Mianzhu, Zhang Weizheng, the leader in charge, led his 6 team to work overtime to make orders for leather carvings and bags from France.

Zhang Wei, 41 years old, was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis at the age of 4. Although he could not engage in heavy manual labor, he did not give up and relied on home appliance maintenance technology to make a living.

In 2012, in a disabled skills training class, Zhang Wei, who was attracted by a series of exquisite leather carving works, was first touched.

。

Grinding, cutting, sewing, carving, coloring...

A total of 6 trainees participated in the training, and only he persisted.

After mastering the skin carving technology, under the support of Yu Ma community, Zhang Wei set up a leather carving studio, which provides free training for the residents of the community, and makes leather goods such as wallets, belts and pendants.

"Mianzhu is the hometown of New Year pictures, why don't you melt New Year pictures into your leather carvings?" in 2014, at a disabled people's exchange in Shenzhen, someone woke up Zhang Wei with a word.

Creativity has, but the difficulty is beyond Zhang Wei's imagination.

Because

Different from other materials, the surface is smooth. Every knives must be carefully designed in advance. Once the knife line is slightly wrong, the entire leather material will be scrapped.

There are probably thousands of pieces of scrap material.

Zhang Wei said, for example, figures and facial features must be presented.

The use of knife line also has to pay attention to, many details processing must rely on their own conception, creation difficulty is particularly big.

"Skin carving New Year pictures are many spectators, and few buyers.

Moreover, the carving of New Year paintings can be completed in four or five days.

Zhang Wei said.

The embarrassment of leather carving New Year pictures is not a secret.

In his view, carving New Year pictures on bags may not be appropriate, so most of them are presented in the form of pendants.

Because of the difficulty of creation, long time and high cost, the price of leather carving New Year pictures is not low, ranging from 400 yuan to 10000 yuan according to the size and difficulty of the process.

Zhang Wei said that although the leather carving New Year pictures are few buyers, he will try further, combine the leather carving New Year pictures with the citizen's life, make leather carving New Year pictures, cushion and collectibles, and constantly open up the market of leather carving New Year pictures.

For more than 1 months, Zhang Wei's first leather carving new year's pictures came out, and his unique originality and exquisite works won everyone's admiration.

Compared with the use of Xuan paper to reflect the three-dimensional sense of the paper new year's pictures, leather carving new year's paintings use the unique thickness of the leather material, using carving techniques to make the New Year pictures show different levels of concave and convex feeling, from the perspective of viewing is also more three-dimensional.

Zhang Wei revealed that the studio's work is not only favored by customers from Beijing, Guangdong, Hainan, but also from the US and France, "each person can earn more than 3000 yuan per month."

However, most of these leather carvings are based on simple geometry, flower and grass patterns, and few new year pictures.
