Black hair is clearly distinguished, with a golden hairpin inserted on the complex bun, the blue and purple clothes sag naturally, the white belt seems to flutter in the wind, the ancient beauty has a charming figure and holding flower branches... This vivid "beauty's branches" scene is a 70-centimeter-high fondant ancient style doll work created by the "post-80s" cake master Li Xianhua.
Li Xianhua has been a cake maker for 8 years. Over the years, she has been trying different cake decoration techniques. Fontuce is one of the cake decoration techniques that she is very interested in. In September this year, she went to Jiangsu Province to find fondant artist Zhou Yi to learn skills. After learning, she has become a "enter" in fondant craftsmanship. With her careful production, on October 5, she completed the ancient style doll work of fondant.
The ancient style doll work of fondant candy with a height of 70 cm, consisting of "beauty" and "strange stone". It took Li Xianhua 12 days to complete this work. She made more than 300 petals, more than 200 hairs, and dozens of pieces of clothing with fondant... "The original intention of making was to like it." She said, "I have always been interested in the fondant craftsmanship, but the production process was too harsh. I made a lot of determination to do it this time."
"Beauty" pursed her lips, her eyes were as charming as silk, her skin was as white as snow, and there were countless tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes. It took Li Xianhua 5 days to be a "beauty" head. "The head was pinched with fondant. I took 3 days to pinch 17 pieces to make this one of the works." After pinching the appearance of the head, she still needs to continue to "make a fuss" on this head that is less than the size of an egg - to carry out the next step of coloring and hairpin. A subtle mistake could cost her several days of hard work. "The head should not only be careful, but also be very careful when doing it. Once when I painted the 'beauty'' face, I accidentally touched my nose and the base of my nose collapsed, so I had to do it again." Li Xianhua said.
"Beauty" looks light and her clothes are fluttering. For making fondant puppet craftsmanship, it is not easy to make a static puppet look dynamic. "Only when the clothes flutter, they will feel like they are standing in the wind, and the wrinkles of clothes are very important," said Li Xianhua. She rolled the fondant into a thin piece, processed it into the required shape, and repeatedly tried it on the doll to make a relatively natural wrinkle. There are 3 layers inside and outside the sleeves. After setting the wrinkles, you need to hold them up to imitate the wind blowing, and then fix them and wait for the fondant to be finalized. The three colors of blue, purple and white are combined, and the clothes are layered inside and outside, which is particularly exquisite. After putting on the "beauty", Li Xianhua also drew a flower pattern on the clothes with a slightly darker color. The embellished flower patterns look like the dark patterns of Seiko fabric.
Li Xianhua also spent a lot of effort on the prospects of the work and the overall color matching. Li Xianhua is not a professional, because she likes her, and she often studies the sets and colors of excellent fondant works. "When making doll works, only people are too monotonous and need a set. My work uses 'strange rock' as a match. The shape of 'strange rock' is based on feeling. Dig a hole here and lift it up on the other side, and the image of 'strange rock' will appear. Then a plum blossom pops out between the gaps, and the scene will be alive. For the sake of the realistic effect, I also painted some green on the shadows and corners of 'strange rock' to simulate moss." Li Xianhua said with a smile, "Color matching is also very important. On 'strange rock', I also embellished some purple colors to make the overall look more harmonious."
When the work was presented, Li Xianhua felt that all the efforts were worth it. From simple flat big-headed cartoon characters to three-dimensional fondant dolls, her skills are constantly improving. Li Xianhua said: "This is a new attempt. If I have free time, I also want to make a fondant ancient style male doll. Nowadays, fondant works are mostly two-dimensional animation works. If I want to do it, I will do works that reflect traditional culture." (Lurui)
