Shu embroidery

Now that I can see the semi-finished product, I wish I could rush over immediately and observe it carefully, but I dare not act rashly.

"Why are you standing so far away? Come here quickly." Mr. Qunfang washed his hands, returned to the back of the frame, looked up at Shen Chuqing who was in a daze, and said angrily.

"Yes..." Shen Chuqing replied, and walked over quickly. As soon as she got close, she was startled by the pair of eyes on the dragon's head.

Although it was just a dragon's head, those huge eyes seemed to be alive, and when they were raised, they carried the majesty of looking down on the world.

The story with the finishing touch was considered exaggerated before, but today, Shen Chuqing was really worried that this dragon head would suddenly fly away in the clouds.

Sitting behind the stretcher, Mr. Qunfang started threading the needle with both hands proficiently, but he said unhurriedly: "I took a look at the embroidery you embroidered that day, and you have mastered the basic stitches pretty well.

But the form seems a bit traditional, too well-behaved, and the embroidered things will be relatively rigid. Who did you learn from before? "

"My mother, she would embroider some things to subsidize the family in her spare time. I learned to embroider from her when I was very young." Shen Chuqing replied in a low voice.

"Family learning! It's pretty good, but it's a pity that the people who teach you don't have a very good foundation, and can only teach you some things that look bright on the surface.

In fact, these things are enough to do some ordinary embroidery, but if you want to go further, learn this craft well.

Remember to forget all the things you learned before and start all over again. "

The needle and thread in his hand were quickly shuttling, Mr. Qunfang's face was still expressionless, but what he said was a direct veto of Shen Chuqing's current technology.

"I'm willing to learn from scratch." Shen Chuqing didn't give up at all, just because she knew the difference between an embroiderer and an embroiderer.

The former is like his own mother, although he can make money from this craft, but it is impossible to make much profit in his life.

The latter is the teacher in front of me. Every piece of her work can be called a masterpiece, and her needlework has become a skill that many embroiderers are eager to imitate.

If you want to shine in this industry, you must be inseparable from the guidance of famous teachers.

Seeing her answer without any hesitation, Mr. Qunfang's eyes flashed with surprise!
She had said this to several students before, but Shen Chuqing was the first person who agreed so simply.

To become one's own student, the level of embroidery is firstly above C level. At this level, the embroidery produced can already be very popular in the market.

So many people will resist from the bottom of their hearts when they hear that they have to learn these words again from the beginning, but the girl doll in front of them is obviously an exception.

His complexion became much gentler in an instant, and the movements of his hands remained the same. Mr. Qunfang continued to say: "Actually, embroidery is not difficult. As long as you master the basic stitches, you can do ten stitches in one stroke, and ten stitches in ten stitches." Hundreds, from familiarity to ingenuity and endless changes, can be in various poses and with different expressions.

Although you have learned since childhood, you probably don’t have much time to actually move the needle. From now on, you must practice at least six hours in this embroidery room every day. "

"Yes, teacher!" Of course, Shen Chuqing understands this truth. Although she has liked embroidery since she was a child, but because she has to go to school, she doesn't have much time for real practice. Level, slightly more difficult works, I simply can't do it myself.

Not to mention six hours a day, even eight hours, Shen Chuqing also felt that she could persevere.

"Did you read the book I gave you yesterday?" Mr. Qunfang kept his eyes on the embroidered surface in front of him, and the needle and thread shuttled back and forth in her hands, as if he had life, listening to the commands of her fingers.

Shen Chuqing was stunned for a moment, didn't she say that she had time to watch it again?Why did you ask this in one night?

At this moment, I can't help but feel a little lucky. I stayed up late last night and read those two books, otherwise today...

Seeing that the movements of Mr. Qunfang's hands began to slow down, he quickly replied, "I read a part of it."

"Tell me about overlapping embroidery, how much have you learned from it?" Mr. Qunfang asked without raising his head.

"Yes" Shen Chuqing hurriedly responded, and quickly went through the content she read in the book last night in her mind, carefully organized her words, and then said: "Overlapping embroidery is the most traditional stitching method in Shu embroidery." The most attractive and easiest-to-operate embroidery method is also the most widely spread Shu embroidery method among the people.

What really made it popular should be in [-]s, after the establishment of the Embroidery Department of the General Administration of Persuasion and Industry in Tong Province, Sichuan.

At that time, the General Administration of Persuasion and Industry recruited all the best embroidery technicians from all over Chengdu into the embroidery department, and specially invited master Zhang, a traditional Chinese painter, as a teacher, who was mainly responsible for the inheritance, improvement and innovation of Shu embroidery techniques.

This master Zhang not only has a good understanding of Chinese painting, but also has a certain attainment in Western painting. He has strict requirements on embroidery techniques and needlework. Created and designed many new stitches.

The most famous of these is halo needle, which not only maintains the local style of Sichuan embroidery with concise composition and harmonious colors, but also is compatible with Western paintings, with rich color changes and strong three-dimensional effect, so it is deeply loved by the world.

Among them is Zhang Hongxing, a particularly powerful Sichuan embroidery master. Under the guidance of Master Zhang, he carried out a series of intentional sketching reforms. A lot of really good work.

The most famous is an embroidery of a lion rolling a hydrangea ball. In June 1910, it won the highest medal in embroidery at the Nanyang Quanyehui.

Later, master Zhang Hongxing and several other embroidery masters used overlapping stitches to embroider four screens of animals, which participated in the Panama International Exhibition held in the United States in [-] and won the first prize.

He also innovated and developed the new halo stitch method, and created some mysterious stitch methods such as halo stitch overlapping embroidery, halo stitch changing direction and overlapping. "

Seeing her stop, Mr. Qunfang also stopped his hands and looked up at her, then waved at her again: "Come over here and see what stitch I'm using now?"

"Yes" Shen Chuqing walked to Mr. Qunfang's side, her eyes stopped at the place where her embroidery needle stopped, and she looked it over carefully. Although she felt that this stitch looked familiar, she couldn't name it for a while. Come.
