Shu embroidery

It could be regarded as the ceiling of an embroidery teacher, even if Shen Chuqing spent her whole life, she would not dare to hope to catch up.

The Chengdu Embroidery Awards was founded by her, and there are hundreds of disciples under her sect, the most famous of which is the Zhang Zixing they mentioned earlier.

Before the age of 40, he has become a leader of the new generation of embroiderers, and has won a series of awards such as the first prize in the Hundred Flowers Embroidery Competition held in Jiangsu, and the gold medal in the French International Embroidery Exhibition.

The people Shen Chuqing once looked up to, still felt very far away from them.

It is even more clear that I have just formally contacted this industry, so I am naturally not qualified to participate in such a grand event.

Zhou Xu looked at her helpless look, and said gently: "The Embroidery Awards are held every two years. The so-called awards are actually to give the disciples of senior masters a chance to stand out.

After all, fewer and fewer people are willing to learn embroidery, and even fewer young people can achieve success in this area.

In order to arouse everyone's interest and make more people like the embroidery industry, this kind of platform is built. From another perspective, it is for the embroidery techniques of various schools to get more Good heritage.

Therefore, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Hunan, the major provinces with regional genre characteristics, will take turns to hold various exhibitions and competitions. "

"Then I can't go. With my current ability, if I go out, I will definitely embarrass the teacher." Shen Chuqing was actually very confident when she didn't enter Qunfang Garden.

But it was only a day since I officially started studying, and I discovered that I hadn't even encountered the most basic of the things I learned before.

"My aunt told me just now that you will be assessed for the first time in a month. If you can pass, I will take you to participate in the embroidery award."

"Really?" Shen Chuqing grabbed Zhou Xu's wrist tightly with excitement, and almost jumped up with joy.

Zhou Xu looked at her tenderly, this was the first time he saw her smile from the bottom of his heart.

But the smile came and went quickly, Shen Chuqing was only happy for a moment, then quickly let go of Zhou Xu's hand, and became frowning again.

"I don't know if I can pass the test yet, so I'm a little too happy."

"You have to believe in yourself. As long as you study hard and do more exercises, you will definitely pass the exam." Zhou Xu quickly comforted him.

"You're right. I have to go back to practice. I'm running out of time. I can't waste a moment. Thank you, Lawyer Zhou." After Shen Chuqing finished speaking, she turned around and trotted away, leaving Zhou Xu a back again.

Zhou Xu reached out and touched the oolong squatting next to him, looked up at the gradually darkening mulberry forest, and said gently: "Let's go back too."

The two dogs obediently followed him, wagging their tails and returning to the yard.

After Shen Chuqing returned to the room, she cleaned her hands and devoted herself to embroidery again. She had no goals before, and only wanted to practice every stitch well.

Now that I have a goal, I practice more vigorously. I repeat what I have learned before, until I feel that I have completely mastered the tricks of these two acupuncture methods, and then I stop.

Looking at the time, it turned out that it was already past ten o'clock. Shen Chuqing hurriedly washed up. Before going to bed, she opened the book of cross-embroidered embroidery and read it carefully for half an hour. Note summary, check that the alarm clock is fine, and then go to bed.

I got up early the next day, read a book for a while, and then quickly went to the restaurant for dinner after receiving a call from Aunt Chen.

Mr. Qunfang hadn't arrived today, so Shen Chuqing took the initiative to help Aunt Chen bring the prepared breakfast to the table. When Mr. Qunfang arrived, the three of them went to the table to eat together.

Because she didn't see Zhou Xu, Shen Chuqing couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see Lawyer Zhou?"

"Ah Xu left after four o'clock in the morning, and there is still a court hearing to be rushed this morning." Aunt Chen said with a smile.

"Oh! Lawyer Zhou is really filial. He rushed back to send an invitation letter to the teacher after being so busy with work."

Shen Chuqing said casually, Mr. Qunfang looked up at her, smiled coldly, and continued to eat the breakfast in his hand.

Shen Chuqing didn't dare to speak anymore, so she just lowered her head and continued to eat. After breakfast, it was only past seven o'clock, and Mr. Qunfang said flatly, "I'm going out for a walk, you go to the backyard and help me feed the silkworms."

"Okay, teacher!" Shen Chuqing responded quickly, watched Mr. Zai Qunfang leave, turned and went back to the backyard, with the experience of feeding silkworms yesterday, it is naturally very easy to operate today.

After replacing the new mulberry leaves, she also cleaned up the silkworm room. She checked the time, and it was 10 minutes before eight o'clock. Shen Chuqing washed her hands, left the silkworm room and walked to the embroidery room.

Before Mr. Qunfang arrived, Shen Chuqing walked to her stretcher and quietly observed the movement of her silk threads. She could appreciate the master's semi-finished products up close, which was much more rewarding than watching the finished products.

Shen Chuqing was completely immersed in Mr. Qunfang's stitches. Currently, this dragon head has not been embroidered yet, and she has already used more than [-] kinds of stitches.

Regardless of the thickness of the silk thread or the configuration of the color, it gives people a sense of just right.

"Does it look good?"

Mr. Qunfang did not know when he had already walked behind her, and asked calmly.

"It looks good," Shen Chuqing replied casually.

"Looks good, just look at it for a while." After Mr. Qunfang finished speaking, he pulled out the stool under the stretcher, sat down directly, took out a needle and thread, and started threading.

Only then did Shen Chuqing come to her senses, and said hello teacher.

Mr. Qunfang said without raising his head: "The next thing I'm going to use is the covering stitch and the laying stitch. You should watch carefully and write it down carefully."

"Yes" Shen Chuqing replied, and quickly concentrated, her eyes were fixed on the movement of the needle and thread in her hand.

"Covering stitches should first be grounded with halo stitches, and covered with cross stitches and other stitches along the texture of the embroidered object.

The bottom line can be thicker and denser, and the upper layer can be thinner and thinner. This technique is mostly used for flower and human skin coloring, but it can also be slightly changed to embroider other light-colored things.

Lay-stitching is one of the most basic stitches in Shu embroidery. The laying-stitch embroidery method pays attention to the fact that the starting and closing stitches must be arranged on the edge of the pattern, and the bottom cannot be exposed or overlapped. tidy.

Embroidery can only be continued on the top of the bottom after the bottom is completed, which is also one of the most complete needle application methods preserved in overlapping embroidery.
