Process of creation
Marquetry French translated as "mosaic". The essence of the technique is to gather the thin plates of the elite wood and bonding the latter to the base in the form of a motif. The thickness of the workpieces varies from 1 to 3 mm. They differ in a variety of colors and textures.
Paintings, executed in this technique, many faces are different. At different angles composition disclosed anew. Such products are gaining popularity.
The first step drawing sketch, which will later be formed as a mosaic, the master puts on graph paper. After that, a specialist chooses a color and by using watercolor paints a picture in accordance with the ideas.
Popular material that is most often used for making templates a thick cardboard. The obtained stencil master applies to the veneer, then encircles contours. Wooden special elements are cut with a sharp knife or jigsaw. After this, all parts of the image should be glued to the template, and the need to place them as close as possible. This is due to the fact that even the smallest gaps between the parts in the technique of marquetry unacceptable. To work it is necessary to use carpenter's glue.
Ready kit of parts timber in the next stage is inverted paper upward and is glued to the substrate of plywood. It is important to carefully remove any residual adhesive. Then the product is to be at least 4 hours to put under the press, so that it is completely dry.
After processing is carried facepiece element. With large nazhdachki gently retracts the paper layer. The resulting preform is ground and varnished several times. Then, a mosaic polishing.
To the final image looks spectacular, experts use different types of wood. Some of them:
- pear;
- nut;
- Birch;
- Red tree.
It is not always masters of marquetry like the colors and shades of veneers. In this case, the specialist etches acids wooden plate. For example, ferric chloride does timber pale blue, and red colors bluestone preform.
variants of application
During the existence of the art of marquetry experts have come up with a lot of mosaic creation methods. Some of them:
- mosaic principle. First, prepare the layout of the master cut into pieces, which are then applied to the veneer. The first step is carried out a set of basic parts. The last, in most cases serve as a background. Then, a small inset elements. After closure manipulation pattern was collected on a paper and fixed mosaic layout with the adhesive strips on the front side. The main thing in the process - to minimize the risk of gaps and cracks. In addition, you need to very carefully glued tape, because the surface changes are not allowed.
- Set in the veneer. The method consists in the fact that the wood pattern is applied using carbon paper, and then cut along the contour elements. Then, from another timber make inserts for subsequent void-filling on the background board. All parts are interconnected by means of paper tape.
- reverse set. The first step is a piece of paper with a sketch of the future of the ornament is mounted to the board. Then the veneer is cut curly detail. The front portion of each member causes a soft brush master gluten adhesive composition and sets it to the desired location. The specialist tries to tightly fit the pieces. Check the quality of the performance can be in the world. This is the simplest method for creating marquetry.
- Set in paper. The first thing an expert draws on a dense drawing paper thin contours of parts. Then by the vertical setting of a sharp knife cuts through each master element to subsequently fix it on the veneer. The precipitated blank paper on wood carefully encircle the contour. Similarly carried manufacture all parts of the composition.
Marquetry - the art of making wooden mosaic.
Today begins the master with great pleasure to learn all the nuances of this technique, inspired by the works of predecessors.
