Peninsula all-media reporter Huang Jingfei
In the New Year of the Tiger, the cute cartoon face sculpture "Meng Hu" is the most loved by children, and Qingdao Arts and Crafts Master Li Huiqin has become the "red person" of various literary and art venues, and in just a few minutes, a vivid little tiger face sculpture is presented under her hands. "A few days ago I went to the Guangdri Intangible Cultural Heritage Collection, pinched a few cartoon tigers, everyone liked it very much, and there were a lot of children around the scene. This kind of small tiger is also relatively simple to make, and you can pinch out one out of eight minutes, and you can teach children to make it on the spot. ”
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the reporter came to Li Huiqin's studio in Taitung, where he saw plastic noodles, paper cuts, sugar people, flower lanterns... The variety of handicraft works is stunning. "In the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, I pinched different little tigers, which have traditional feelings, such as this one is the shape of a child riding a tiger to eat a sugar ball, the child also wears a tiger head hat, wears tiger head shoes, the expression is also very cute, and this piece is relatively more complicated to make."
The face sculpture of the tiger made by Li Huiqin has both the charm of the traditional tiger and the cartoon elements, with a unique shape and a cute posture. "This time I also specially designed a lot of small tigers with different shapes, as well as small tigers made according to the image of cloth tigers, such as obedient tigers, town house tigers, etc. When you look closely, their eyes are different, and the decorations are also different." Under the guidance of her hands, the children who came to learn also exerted their imagination, pinching, rubbing, kneading, lifting, and pinching the shape of the little tiger in their hearts. Under the skillful hands of Li Huiqin and the little children, a small tiger face sculpture with different shapes and vivid faces jumped on the "hand"...
Li Huiqin, who loved face sculpture since childhood, is now one of the famous folk face sculpture artists in Qingdao, from hobby to "mainly attacking" face sculpture after retirement, Li Huiqin said that her father had a great influence on her. Through teaching and production, let everyone feel the charm of intangible cultural heritage culture and traditional annual culture, which is Li Huiqin's favorite work. "Today's children prefer characters with a bit of anime sense, and now the face sculpture has to keep pace with the times and add a lot of fresh elements."
If you think she can only face plastic, you're dead wrong. Face sculpture, paper cutting, fabric, embroidery, sculpture, sugar painting, painting, mounting, are her strengths, during the Spring Festival, Li Huiqin has also become a "red person" in various literary and art venues, "A few days ago I went to Guangdali Intangible Cultural Heritage Collection, and during the Spring Festival, I also had to participate in cultural activities in various districts, and the arrangements were full." ”
