During the Beijing Winter Olympics
In addition to the orderly advancement of various competitions
Mascots "Ice Pier" and "Snow Melting"
It also gained a large number of fans
Some netizens even joked that "a pier is difficult to find"
Recently, Meng Xiaohong, a non-hereditary inheritor of Yangzhou's face sculpture at the municipal level, has made ingenious efforts to pinch out the face plastic versions of "ice pier" and "snow rongrong", and publicized it in the local landmark scenic spot - Dongguan Street, cheering for The Olympic athletes.
Meng Xiaohong said that when kneading the ice pier, it is necessary to try to restore its characteristics, such as the color matching of the face and the small love on the hand, these details convey love. And the overall shape of the ice pier needs to be kept rounded, so that the finished product can look more realistic.
The production process of "Snow Rongrong" is more complicated, especially its head, which is like a lantern as a whole, which needs to be wrapped with colorful ribbons, and there is also a treasure cover shape on the top of XueRongrong's head, which requires patience to shape.
Meng Xiaohong has been particularly interested in Traditional Chinese Culture and Art since she was a child, and has been learning to knead noodles with the elderly in her family. After growing up, she also went to various places to learn "learning from the scriptures", improved the process and materials of face sculpture, combined traditional Chinese cultural themes and modern craft aesthetics, and produced more novel face sculpture works.
The Winter Olympic mascot that makes a face-to-face version not only expresses the blessings of "craftsmen" to athletes, but also hopes to take this opportunity to let more people understand the interesting traditional skill of "face sculpture".
