Tutorial on making a strange stone base

1. Material selection

Choose the strange stone you need according to the style, color, size, ornamental surface, etc. of the collected stones. The base material has an original appearance, and the material is generally selected based on the value of the strange stone and economic conditions.

2. Shape

Based on the characteristics of the stone, the shape of the base of the stone is designed. It should be noted that a well-shaped base can not only set off the wonder of strange stones and reflect the charm of the stones, but more importantly, it can cover up some shortcomings of some strange stones. Therefore, the design of the strange stone base shape is very critical.

3. Rough processing

After the material selection and modeling are completed, it is necessary to start rough processing of the base so that the strange stone and the base can be well inlaid together. The key point of this step is to grasp the inlay depth and angle of the curiosity stone and the base, so when selecting materials, pay attention to the thickness of the base.

4. Carving

Since it is still relatively rare that original materials and strange stones can be perfectly matched, many sculptures still require some carving work. The carving is mainly based on the shape of the strange stones. Choose the pattern of engraving according to the artistic conception.

5. Polishing and painting

After engraving, the base needs to be polished to make the finished base smoother. After sanding, it is time to paint. In terms of paint selection, it is recommended to use TLQ.
