What metal wire is used when the bonsai is coiled? What should Panza pay attention to? Do you have any skills?

How to use the plasticity of metal wire to change the original shape of bonsai and shape the modeling works in mind? The usage of metal wire is simpler than that of brown wire, and it is the most widely used. Metal wire is usually made of iron wire, copper wire and aluminum wire. Some professional bonsai practitioners will use some aluminum wires similar in color to bark, which is not recommended here. We will make our own bonsai and choose ordinary metal wires.

Iron wire is the cheapest, but it is easy to rust, and its hardness will increase after a long time, so it is very troublesome to disassemble it. For beginners, it is better to recommend aluminum wire. There are still some skills that we need to master and understand when using wire for winding. Remember the winding order, first the trunk, then the branches, and then some twigs. Remember, when the whole plant is coiled, according to the idea, all branches are wound with metal wires first, and then wound to form.

When modeling, we should first adjust the angles and positions of each branch and determine an overall framework. Is to roll the whole frame into place, and then deal with the details. Tie the branchlets tightly with iron wire with proper thickness, adjust the position, and combine pruning to remove some unnecessary branches. The order should not be out of order, so as to make a good-looking shape, otherwise it will only appear uncoordinated and awkward. So, is there anything to pay attention to in this winding process? Yes, to sum up 10, the official looked down slowly.

1. When using wire winding modeling, first fix the prepared wire for a section. If the trunk is wound, one end of the wire can be inserted into the basin soil against the foundation and fixed, or it can be fixed in other ways. Remember, fix it first, then do other follow-up work, winding and bending.

2. When winding branches, fix one end of the metal wire. You can first make it into an elbow hook and hook it at the root of the branch. When winding for the first time, press the elbow to fix it, and then you can wind it forward. Keep an angle of 45 degrees, hold the wire and branches at the same time, hold the wire for winding, and hold the hand holding the wire and branches tightly when winding to prevent the wire behind from hurting the bark.

3. Clockwise and counterclockwise winding can be done, but the winding direction of the branch should be considered, and the winding direction should be consistent with the winding direction of the branch, so that the conductor can stick to the branch and get twice the result with half the effort. If the winding direction and twisting direction are wrong, it will affect the modeling effect, affect the appearance, and may also hurt the bark.

4. The branches with some strong strength can't reach the strength of torsion and bending when they are coiled. At this time, we need to add another metal wire next to the first metal wire and wind it forward in the same direction, relying on two metal wires to increase the strength and achieve the purpose of twisting and bending the branches.

5. The branches of the branches are sparse and dense when they are tied and reshaped. When two or more branches are close and have the same shape, they can be wound with metal wires. It can reduce winding time and winding materials, and the most important thing is that it not only has good shaping effect, but also looks clean and beautiful.

6. Bark The bark of many tree species is very thin and it is easy to cause damage when tied up. In order to prevent this from happening, it can be bound with a metal wire with a sheath. If not, don't twist it hard. It can be wrapped around branches with tissue paper or cloth strips, and then wrapped and shaped with metal wires.

7. After the wires are wound on the branches, cut off the extra wires, but don't cut them all. Leave a section for turning back, so that it can be bent and fixed. The wire must be fixed well to achieve the effect of twisting and bending the branches and a certain aesthetic degree.

8. The winding strength should be appropriate. If it is too light, it won't work. If it is too heavy, it will break the branches. When winding, put two thumbs on the inside of the branch to be wound, and press the other fingers on the outside. Don't move too hard. Press hard and slowly, the bending part will be evenly stressed, and the torsion radian will change from small to large. Some easily broken branches had better be twisted several times to achieve the ideal radian effect.

9. Specifications When the wire is used for twisting and forming branches, the specification of the wire is selected according to the thickness of the branches. Generally speaking, the hardness and thickness of metal wire are directly proportional to the twisting and forming ability of branches. Too thin to be twisted and shaped, too thick to hurt branches is not beautiful. In terms of length, the length of the metal wire is greater than 1.5 times of the branch to be twisted, and the length of the metal wire is selected according to the length of the branch.

10. In the process of destroying the shape, if you are too anxious, unfamiliar and careless, the branches will break. If the branches are badly broken, they can only be cut off, reserved or changed in shape. How come it's not serious? It's just a minor injury. You can reset the wound first, wrap it with protective wounds such as cloth, and then carefully wrap the metal wire and slowly adjust the shape.

65438+ This kind of work is very destructive to the tree, so it is not recommended to carry out the following winding, bending and pruning, first raise it, and then carry out the subsequent work.

12. Saw bending is to bend the incision, and also to deal with some branches that are not easy to bend and are too thick. It is divided into single-incision bending and multi-incision bending. Cut a V-shaped notch on the inner side to be wound with a saw, and the depth is about two-thirds of the whole branch. Then twist the wire and wrap the wound with clean cloth to prevent water from entering the subsequent maintenance.

So much for the skills and experience of using metal wire to make flat shapes. In order to do a good job in graphic modeling, we should study more. Only by combining theory with practice can we make a good plane modeling of bonsai. After all, practice makes perfect and experience is very important. I'm Juanzi, a girl from the "greenhouse".
