Traditional cloth jewelry making techniques
Traditional cloth accessories making skills, a traditional art project of the fifth batch of representative projects of intangible cultural heritage at the municipal level in Lianyungang City. Traditional cloth accessories skills, referred to as cloth art, that is, art on cloth, is a magnificent wonder in traditional Chinese folk crafts. Cloth art is a comprehensive art that integrates folk paper-cutting, embroidery, modeling, and hand-sewing techniques. It mainly depends on the traditional folk customs and life needs of Lianyungang and is spread throughout Lianyungang, especially in rural areas and urban-rural fringe areas. Cloth art products made of cloth as the main material, after artistic processing, achieve certain artistic effects and meet people's life needs. The production of traditional handmade cloth accessories is very particular, and also needs to go through the process of conception, production, and finishing. The handwork of cloth art is mainly sewing, all handmade. Good products depend on whether the stitches of the accessories are fine, symmetrical, and neat. Traditional cloth accessories use metaphors, homophony and other expression techniques, with the theme of praying for blessings and auspiciousness and praising harmonious life, and use more symbolic patterns. Among them, the flowers, insects, birds, and plants used express the author's good wishes for good luck and avoiding bad luck. The materials used for fabric art are various fabrics, with various colored threads, blue paper, paste, thin plastic paper and other auxiliary materials; the tools used are scissors, utility knives, rulers, hammers, pens, sand nets, etc. The practicality of fabric accessories is one of the characteristics that distinguishes it from other handicrafts. There are many types of them, which can be classified according to the use function, or according to space, design features, processing technology, etc. No matter what materials and processing technology are used to make fabric accessories, the most important thing is where they are used and what they are used for, so we usually divide fabric products into restaurant, kitchen, bathroom, decoration and furnishings, packaging and mat categories according to their use functions. Fabric products are the same as clothing. On the basis of practicality, people continue to pursue the enjoyment of beauty and constantly introduce new ideas. The local fabric varieties in Lianyungang mainly include newlywed dragon and phoenix shoes, slippers, children's tiger head shoes, insoles, colored shoes, tablecloths, wall hangings, cloth bags, etc. (No pictures available, please provide them.)
