I am keen on traditional Chinese leather crafts. I master leather carving, leather dyeing, shoe pattern making, PS and AI software. I have won several design competition awards. I specialize in creating leather-carved earrings and cultural accessories with phoenix and cloud patterns, and I have finished many phoenix-themed drafts and physical samples. I devote myself to combining oriental classic aesthetics with modern accessory styles.

山海赤翼Red Wing · Shan Hai

Category: Accessories

Competitions: China Mainland

作品名为《山海赤翼》,是一套以《山海经》火凤凰为灵感创作的植鞣皮雕配饰系列,包含胸针、耳挂、垂坠耳饰三类穿戴单品。设计提取传统凤凰飘逸舒展的体态,融合敦煌壁画经典渐变配色,运用立体皮雕工艺塑造层次肌理,红、黄、绿三色宝石镶嵌于皮面凹槽,搭配0.65mm蜡线手工缝线,还原中式纹样细腻流畅的线条美感。整套作品选用头层植鞣牛皮为基底,经雕刻、分层染色、封层固色多道工序完成,将上古神话祥瑞意象与现代配饰造型结合。凤凰自古象征新生、吉祥与自由,我希望通过皮艺载体传递东方美学底蕴,打破传统皮具厚重刻板的印象,打造适配日常穿搭的国风轻配饰,让古老山海纹样以精致皮革饰品的形式走进当代生活。 Titled Red Wing · Shan Hai, this series of vegetable-tanned leather accessories draws creative inspiration from the fire phoenix recorded in Shan Hai Jing. The collection covers three wearable styles: brooches, ear cuffs and drop earrings. The design inherits the elegant and graceful silhouette of traditional phoenix patterns and adopts the classic gradient color palette of Dunhuang murals. Three-dimensional leather carving techniques are applied to create rich texture layers, with emerald, ruby and topaz inlaid into carved leather recesses. All components are stitched manually with 0.65mm waxed thread to present smooth and delicate lines of traditional Chinese patterns. Made of top-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide, each piece goes through multiple processes including carving, layered gradient dyeing and protective varnish finishing. As an ancient auspicious symbol, phoenix represents rebirth, good fortune and freedom. I aim to interpret profound oriental aesthetics through leather craftsmanship and break the rigid stereotype of traditional leather goods. This lightweight Chinese-style accessory series fits daily outfits well, enabling mythical patterns from ancient classics to integrate into modern life via delicate leather art.
