"Tatyanka" - a new style that combines the versatility of plastic and techniques to create any product - from decorative flat panels up to volume sculptures, decorated with wooden lace. Visual effect enhances the natural properties of wood. You too can learn the technique of carving in the "Tatyanka" style. But first - on tools. They can be bought, but it is better to make themselves. The kit consists of the scoring knives and chisels set of different widths and different configurations of the cutting edge.
Steel for them to be selected from the tool or quickly cutting marks or P18 P9. Hardening of tools made of carbon steel can be made at home on a gas burner. Of alloyed and high-speed steel tool can only do cold way. Hardening will not be able to spend at home. After manufacturing the tool to be sharpened. The grinding angle of the cutting edge 20 is. Further cutting edges polish gloss. The cutting tool must be so acute, so without complying with special measures and security regulations can not do. Do not hold your left hand during the movement of the tool, or in an area prone to danger. Left-handers do not recommend to keep your right hand on the line of the tool. Harvesting, which is carved decorative motif must be rigidly attached to the desktop. To avoid cuts and wounds should use this method: right hand holding the cutting fingers instrument and directs its movement, and the index finger of the left hand presses the tool for crafts, preventing him come off. Leg rests in the palm of a chisel. Hand pressure is always directed towards the cutting edge. Hand should be based on a table or on a plate. Tool movement should be continuous. With the sudden it will necessarily stop bump or a pit, and smooth them will be difficult.
Allowed to rotate a cutting tool at a considerable angle - this gives a special color decorative pattern. In this case, the undercut part will be different to reflect the rays of light.
The selected pattern for the wood is first transferred via carbon paper. Further, on the print pattern pencil numerals 1, 2, 3 scheduled execution order of the individual elements. The width of the tool is chosen slightly greater than the width executable element. This is followed by trimming shape pattern deposited contour elements. Lead her scoring knife. The knife moves obliquely to the plane of the cutting angle of 45 - is the best angle, although in some instances it can be up to 75. Trimming may be internal or external. Internal scoring knife being tilted toward the yet-element. When external trimming knife is tilted toward executable element. The depth of cutting is selected to provide rotation of the cutting tool with its gradual entry into the interior element performed, for example, from the spine of the sheet to its tip or vice versa, depending on the formulation drawing. As the material for the shelves, racks, frames, boxes, trunks increasingly using lime. Its soft wood is easily cut with a sharp knife and does not require much effort on the part of the engraver.
For larger craft, it is desirable to use a maple, juniper, alder. These materials are cut with the effort, but the thread is clear, and the surface is cleaned better. Now let's consider the basic carving techniques in "Tatyanka" style. Develop their learning easier on the board, taking advantage of the selection of submitted exercises. With practice, you can move on to cutting out decorative pattern on specific artefacts, not only flat, but concave, convex on the dishes, wall panels, vases. Novice carver will not prevent additional information. Billets for handicrafts take no rotten, no knots, the same color. Allows a little looseness - it can be eliminated by pressing firmly on the tool when the thread. Wet wood to reduce the cutting forces necessary accurately (excess moisture will lead to the formation of cracks during drying). Smooth sheet is cut from the top to the cuttings. As part of the first branch perform lower leaves, then the top. The sheet is cut with streaks of cuttings to the top of multiple cuts. If the random cleavage, the cut should be glue or PVA glue "Moment".
Excess adhesive not remove - after drying resume cutting. When painting areas coated with adhesive will be lighter.
Removing the remnants of a pencil and carbon paper made skin. Further, all of the stain. In "Tatyanka" it is applied in two colors - brown and red. Tint stain on the wood is determined by wet smear. Most often, it is diluted with water. The product stain applied brushes movements from the bottom upwards. Sales stain is still alcohol. Its use is not recommended - it dilutes the alcohol varnish. Master sometimes used aniline dyes domestic production. The dyes of black, blue and orange to be diluted with water (should not be in the food bowl). After staining the product is dried. Followed by treatment of furniture varnish, too, the domestic production. Sometimes Turkish production varnish applied under the name «Truva». The varnish is applied with a soft brush, preferably №8. After the first layer should hour drying. Worth and small burrs brushes sandpaper. Then a second coating follows the third and fourth.
To clean the lint from the varnish need to prepare in advance a jar with a plastic lid, which is cut a hole under the brush. The brush cover is fixed so that it just touches the bottoms, but did not go to it. In the jar fill with calcium chloride. In between the work of the brush can be cleaned by simple dipping varnish in a jar. Dry brush collect the excess lacquer. Apply clear lacquer (preferably imported). If the nail must bleaching, you can use 30% hydrogen peroxide or a mixture of 25% ammonia and ammonia in a ratio of 1: 1. The mixture is prepared prior to bleaching. Bleaching degree controlled by the amount of water. To give the characteristic luster and moisture product coated with wax. But waxing up the smooth surface should be subjected to an adhesive treatment (5% PVAc with water). After drying, the product is ground zero sandpaper. Mastic used wax for parquet flooring is produced ginger and white colors. Ginger paste is better to put on a dark background. Waxing lead bristle brush and paste is heated in a water bath. Is dried naturally. Quits polishing products woolen cloth.
