When Han Peacock was dumping mammoth tusks, more and more people got involved. At first, it was because of the ivory knife handle that attracted his guards to participate, and later it was because of the production of ivory combs that attracted Qin Mingyue.
When Yu Shan started carving some small things, the catkins came, and she was the most serious about it.
And when Zhou Meiren also participated, even Han Peacock was affected. After all, Zhou Meiren is a professional. She knows the most ivory products and knows which ivory products are the most popular.
Of course, ivory products that are popular with most people will naturally be accepted by them.
Therefore, with the guidance of Zhou Meiren, Han Kongque and others made ivory jewelry ranging from simple to complex.
As time went by, not only were they serious, but also troublemakers came.
Now Han Xiaoxiao already knows that she loves beauty and naturally likes all kinds of ivory products. In addition, she was also influenced by the Han Peacock family and fell in love with gem making and collecting.
For example, right now, she is learning sculpture from Zhou Mei and Liu Xu. Although she had not harassed Han Peacock, Han Xiaoxiao was studying seriously after all. Han Peacock still liked it very much. After all, he had a successor!
In addition to Han Xiaoxiao, there are naturally others who are also studying seriously, such as Jin Yao and Mu Ling.
As for Han Feng and Han Huang, they were just a mess. Han Feng was a monkey. If he didn't have three minutes of popularity, he would just join in the fun.
Han Huang is even more powerful. She wants to put everything she sees into her mouth to taste it to see if it tastes good. Even if it doesn't taste good, she will use it to grind her teeth.
If you stop her, she will stare with big eyes and open her small mouth and yell. Of course, in the words of Liu Xu and others, it is crying, but she will not shed a single tear, and she will stare at you intently.
If you shout with your mouth open, is this crying?
However, this little guy's move is still very powerful. It can be said that once this big move is used, he will definitely get everything he wants.
Except for Han Kongque, everyone here agreed that Han Huang was crying, so as long as she started yelling, everyone would coax her. At this time, even if Han Kongque felt distressed about the half-finished product he had carved, he could only leave it to her to play with.
, until you have enough fun and fall asleep, you will return to the hands of Han Peacock.
Moreover, the little guy is very vindictive. As soon as he wakes up, he will definitely go back immediately.
After a few confrontations, Han Kongque also compromised. As long as the little guy wanted it, he would give it to him without hesitation.
At this time, Han Huang would show his four front teeth that had just grown in, smile and throw out the things Han Peacock had given him.
At this time, you must not pick it back up immediately, because if you pick it up, Han Huang will immediately stretch out his little hand, ask for it back, and then throw it out. He will also look at you and ask you to pick it up again, hand it over, and throw it away again.
go out.
"Does this little girl treat me as a puppy?" Every time something like this happens, Han Peacock's head is full of black lines. This is how the puppies trained by Han Xiaoxiao play with Han Huang.
When they became familiar with each other, Han Kongque stopped talking to the little girl. As long as he ignored her, she felt bored and diverted her attention. At this time, Han Kongque could pick up the things and continue carving.
Later, as soon as Han Peacock saw the little devil approaching, he would immediately change things. In this way, even if she robbed him, he would not delay carving.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble here." In the midst of the noise, Han Peacock had a headache dealing with all these accidents.
Just now that we had a way to deal with the little devil Han Feng, the big devil Han Feng came to cause trouble again.
The ivory was being cut properly, but when Han Feng touched it, it chopped up a piece of frozen soil, which made Han Peacock feel very distressed.
"Don't make trouble for me. If you want to practice, just use those soil materials that don't look good, or use those useless molars." After dealing with Han Feng, Qin Mingyue came over again.
"Molar teeth are different from the previous three materials because they are not external teeth. They are teeth in the mammoth's mouth. The texture is also very different, so you must pay attention." Watching Qin Mingyue playing with the cutting knife, Han Peacock's hands couldn't help but
The twitching is obviously for art, so why not do handwork?
Qin Mingyue's clumsy posture really made Han Kongque confused, but when he saw her happy look, he really couldn't say anything to stop her.
Han Kongque was staring at Qin Mingyue, so before he saw it, Han Feng had already chopped off two molars.
"No one wants this? How is it possible? I want as much as you want." Han Peacock slapped Han Feng away. This naughty kid was a prodigal. How many mammoth tusks had he ruined?
"As for fossils, molars and mammoth bones are actually the real fossils. They are basically in a petrified state. And the handle of this thing, especially with pattern steel, is simply not too beautiful!"
"In addition, there is a relatively small amount of molar material, called marrow material. This material is less solidified, more uniform, and more expensive. It must be carefully selected and Qin Mingyue must not be allowed to practice."
In the blink of an eye, Han Kongque's face turned even worse when he saw Qin Mingyue chopping up a piece of marrow.
"Tch, stingy drink cold water, there are so many bones, what's wrong with me cutting one into pieces?" Qin Mingyue rolled her eyes and directly despised Han Peacock.
Han Kongque could only smile bitterly: "These are non-renewable resources. If you use one less one, it will destroy you and it will be unclean. Isn't it a pity?"
So the most important task of Han Peacock now is to find out the marrow material in the molars. Qin Mingyue and the others must not let these go to waste.
As for ordinary molars, it doesn't matter. Ordinary molars are not very expensive now, costing a few hundred yuan. Last year's 40mm molars cost about 400-500 yuan in the industry. There are too few of these things.
After a lot of work, everyone found what they liked, and Han Kongque's temporarily built studio slowly got on track.
Seeing all the family members bowing their heads while carving, Han Peacock breathed a sigh of relief. Although a lot of materials were wasted, Han Peacock was still very happy to have a large family accompanying him to do what he liked.
After selecting the better quality mammoth ivory, Han Kongque continued to carve Yueman Qingyou in his hand.
At this time, in addition to understanding the advantages and disadvantages of these ivory, you also need to understand the structure of these mammoth tusks. Otherwise, the advantages of ivory cannot be used, and the disadvantages of ivory may also be exposed.
If you don’t understand the structure of ivory, as mentioned before, it may break your heart when you cut it open.
Han Kongque was very clear about the four basic materials of mammoth teeth, and he mainly focused on ice materials and frozen soil materials.
Especially Qin Mingyue and Han Feng, these two are the kings of destruction. Every time they cause destruction, they will complain that Han Peacock didn't tell them earlier, so it's all Han Peacock's fault.
In desperation, Han Kongque could only become busy and teach them at the same time.
It is rare to find information about the structure of mammoth external teeth, so according to the method of a senior player, it is divided into three parts: tooth skin, ivory, and tooth core.
In fact, it should be divided into two parts, namely the tooth skin and the dentin. However, because the tooth core does not have Schreger lines like ivory, it is separated separately.
In terms of texture, the tooth skin is as hard as the dentin under the skin, and it is easy to identify because there are no Schregue lines (i.e. cross lines) on the tooth skin, which is relatively clear. The tooth skin and the dentin are very clear.
of demarcation.
But sometimes it is difficult to distinguish, because the cross section of ivory has a Schregue pattern, but the vertical section has horizontal lines, and the texture of the tooth skin is also horizontal, so it is easier to distinguish the teeth from the cross section.
There will still be some color difference between the other two layers of leather and ivory.
Some skins are so dyed that the cross-section lines cannot be seen.
If we compare mammoth tusks with ivory, really good mammoth tusks are more expensive than modern ivory, but most of them are far inferior to the quality of modern elephants. Their moistness is far worse, their color is gray, and they tend to peel off when carved.
.
The price of mammoth ice has surpassed that of ivory since May last year, and the price of ivory has dropped recently. Of course, in general, there is still no clear standard for the price of mammoth ivory, which is very confusing.
Naturally, Han Kongque was reluctant to hand over good ice materials to Qin Mingyue and the others for waste. However, in order to attract the attention of these novices, Han Kongque had to come up with some good ingredients to fool them, and the remaining scraps he cut were
The best materials.
Mammoth now has a lot of small ice-made items that are pretty good, such as Buddha heads, and some small brands and small carvings.
What Han Peacock attracted Han Feng, Han Xiaoxiao and others to practice became these trinkets.
Of course, ice materials are also divided into grades, and many of them are as moist as ivory. Even if it is scraps, Han Peacock is not willing to let them waste it.
These mainly rely on experience. Even Han Kongque, who had never been exposed to so many mammoth ivory materials, could not tell the difference clearly.
The boundaries between these materials are mainly based on moisture, calcification, etc. Roughly speaking, materials that are too yellow will not be ice materials; frozen soil materials are generally cleaner than soil materials, with better moisture and less calcification.
; The soil is the driest and in the worst condition. Most of the dentin parts have a lot of calcification and the most waste.
As Han Rongrong, Han Rongguang, Han Ronghua and others gradually entered the chaotic space and participated in ivory carving, Han Kongque discovered that he had been here for more than three months without knowing it.
Because the Korean peacocks have chaotic space, even though they have entered the coldest season in the Arctic Circle, they have not been delayed in continuing to search for mammoth fossils in the Alaskan wilderness.
With a steady stream of supplements, it was possible to attract the attention of Han Peacock. One of them stayed here for several months. It was also because Han Peacock stayed here for a long time that his family gathered here. (~^~
