The horse, symbolizing endless energy and auspicious fortune, has always been a popular choice in zodiac culture. With some time left until the Year of the Horse, some customers are already planning ahead, ordering custom horse lanterns. Whether it’s a single zodiac horse displaying its agile posture or a group of horses reminiscent of the “One Hundred Horses” painting, each one aims to enhance the New Year’s atmosphere through the symbolism of the horse. Pre-ordering not only ensures a head start on holiday decorations, but also allows for customized adjustments to ensure each horse perfectly fits the theme.
Contouring: Based on a precise blueprint, craftsmen bend the wire to scale with pliers, reproducing the 2D lines before welding them into the initial frame. At this point, the raised angle of the horse’s head and the natural curve of its back begin to take shape.
Three-Dimensional Forming: Through layer-by-layer welding, the flat frame is transformed into a 3D structure. The fullness of the horse’s chest, the explosive power of its leg muscles, and the dynamic movement of its raised tail are meticulously portrayed during this stage, imbuing the static form with a sense of dynamic tension.
Basic Treatment: The metal frame enters the paint booth, where it is covered with black paint to remove the original gloss. This step not only protects the frame but also prevents reflections from the light, ensuring a uniform and transparent illumination.
Lighting Insertion: Professional craftsmen arrange the bulbs and light strips within the frame at a predetermined density. After securing them, they test each one individually to ensure that every detail of the horse’s body is clearly illuminated, from the flowing mane to the sharp corners of its hooves.
Fabric Fitting: A solid-color twill fabric is precisely applied along the horse’s contours. The fabric drapes naturally along the muscle lines, preserving the three-dimensional shape while giving the horse lantern a soft texture, like a smooth outer layer.
Vibrant Details: Precisely sprayed according to the design, the pigments blend deeply with the fabric, ensuring long-lasting, vibrant colors. The artisans also focus on the eyes, using delicate brushstrokes to create a vivid expression, bringing the horses’ agility and determination to life, giving the lanterns a “soul.”
