The Technological Process

    The China Color Stone Inlaid Art Pictures has been developed on the basis of the traditional Chinese technological process of making cloisonn¨¦, but it requires neither an enamel coating nor baking. It is made manually with fine metal wire of copper color and natural precious stones (ground into powder or fine grains) as the main materials. Our craftsmen with their nimble and trained hands can create exquisite decorative pictures of a full range of motifs in a full spectrum of color and of a full range of patterns, styles and specifications.
    In making a china color stone inlaid picture, the artist first makes an outline of a painting with fine metal wire and then fills into the spaces with powder (or grains) of natural stones and jade of different colors and completes a piece of works of art with a series of finishing processes. A color stone inlaid picture may take days, or even months to finish. Some large works may require more than a year to complete. The art demands a judicious choice of colorful stones and the grinding of them into grains of different sizes to bring out a wild, primitive, classic and lively style or a refined texture like the skin of a woman. The copper-color metal wire and the colorful stones of varying sizes can be combined to bring out a classic beauty of a painting. If some luminous material is added, the picture will show different visual effects to the human eye at night and during the day, thus with dual decorative effects at different time. A salient feature of the color stone inlaid picture is the rich, natural and refined beauty. Because only natural stones are used and no pigments or paints are added to the picture after the inlaying, the works are environment friendly and the colors are fast and lasting and resistant to water and moisture. After technological treatment, the picture has a surface as smooth as mirror.
    In artistic presentation, a picture can cover a broad range of motifs of landscape, human figures, birds and flowers and beasts. In artistic style, a color stone inlaid picture may give the effect of a Chinese traditional water and ink painting executed with brush or a Western style oil painting, either realistic or abstract.
