日照：面塑艺人创作“百猴闹春”迎新年

Chinese handicrafts: dough figurines

编者按：面塑是一种制作简单但艺术性很高的民间工艺品。它以面粉、糯米粉为主要原料，再加上色彩以及石蜡、蜂蜜等成分，经过防裂防霉的处理，制成柔软的各色面团。捏面艺人根据所需随手取材，在手中几经捏、搓、揉、掀，用小竹刀灵巧地点、切、刻、划，塑成身、手、头、面，披上发饰和衣裳，顷刻之间，栩栩如生的艺术形象便脱手而成。本组图片中，山东省日照市东港区秦楼街道新合村面塑艺人李金国经过一个多月的精心构思，巧妙的将面塑艺术与传统文化相结合，历时2周的时间，用10斤面粉创作了一百个“百猴闹春”面塑作品，迎接农历新年猴年的到来。
Editor's note: Dough figurine molding is a traditional Chinese folk art. It is a kind of small sculpture that uses flour and glutinous rice flour as the main raw materials. Components such as color, paraffin and honey are added and the sculpture undergoes crack control and mildew-proof processing. In the process of molding the dough figurines, craftsmen knead, twine, rub and lift the colored dough, and then use small scissors, bamboo knives and small combs among other tools to cut, carve, draw and mold the small figurines. After decorated with hair and clothes, various artistic images are created, including graceful and elegant beauties, lovely children, historical figures, living creatures and characters. The following pictures tell the story of a dough figurine artist from Shandong Province and his latest works for China's forthcoming Year of the Monkey.
