I didn't want to support my family in my spare time, so I didn't speculate in stocks to do WeChat business, but chose a unique skill-lithography. Not in-depth, just bored occasionally, killing time.
In fact, the original reason is that after I bought a new book, I like to scribble my name and company seal on it to explain to outsiders that this book is mine and I can't make any plans for it. There are too many seals, and I think the seal of Fang's name is too boring. Why not carve your name and put it in the book, then it will be meaningful and full of petty bourgeoisie!
So I went to the stationery store to buy a carving knife and stone, and then I went home to Baidu seal cutting.
Seal cutting is a traditional art of Han nationality closely combined with calligraphy, which has a history of more than 3700 years, and is also called seal, seal or seal. Seal cutting pays attention to composition, seal cutting and knife cutting, and has systematic theory, techniques and aesthetic orientation.
I don't believe seal cutting has profound meaning!
But the ignorant are fearless! Knowing neither calligraphy nor knife-cutting, he took a fountain pen and wrote on the carved stone, and immediately began to use the knife.
I remember that my daughter's name "Sandy" was engraved in the first chapter, and the stone carving was also very large, so the knife was naturally simple. I wrote it hastily in one night, excited, dipped in simple printing oil and printed several copies back and forth.
Later, I carved many pen names one after another, but I still didn't care about the scribbling of calligraphy and knife skills. I found a book after carving and printed it casually.
Think of an interesting thing.
Last year, the college held a biweekly lecture. In order to prevent everyone from "skipping class", a card with squares on it was specially made. By the end of the semester, each square must have a seal printed by a special person after class to count. Once it occurred to me, wouldn't it be cool if I carved my own chapter?
For the sake of "high imitation", I specially measured the size and went to the stationery store in Siwen Road to buy back the carved stone. Enlarge the seal and study its font calligraphy. Everything is ready. After practicing hard in the dormitory all afternoon, I finally made a fake one with a similarity of more than 85%.
Show off among your classmates and win applause!
The most interesting thing is that this matter spread like wildfire. Some students who are close to my major really asked me about the seal because of business trips, competitions and the like. However, in order not to "violate the law", he said that the technology was rough and he was afraid that he could not get away with it, so he politely refused.
