Huang Xiaolong had a great sleep in his new home, not getting up until well into the next day.
He went out for a casual lunch in the afternoon and then bought a heap of items to bring back home.
Villa's living room.
Huang Xiaolong was knee-deep in his work.
Ehem…
He was crafting paper dolls!
Yes, just making paper dolls! To put it bluntly, it's just the type of dolls that sold in funeral parlours.
The art of paper-crafting in our country originally stems from funerary customs.
It is a folk art that integrates crafting, pasting, paper-cutting, clay molding, and painting techniques.
Huang Xiaolong proved adept at crafting paper dolls, a slender and tall male figure done in no time.
Following this, Huang Xiaolong picked up a brush, dipped it into mingled cinnabar, and started to paint the blank face of the doll.
Nose, mouth, eyebrows… and finally, eyes.
You should know, paper dolls aren't meant to have eyes, because once they have eyes, they come alive.
