["Spirit Thread" Hand-Woven Decorative Brooch] When 108 strands of natural ramie silk meet a 0.3-millimeter copper-gilded silver wire framework - each curve is meticulously hand-twisted over a period of 3 hours, with the fingertip force error not exceeding 0.2 grams, so that the silk strands not only retain the texture and breathing sensation of ramie but also curl naturally with a "spiritual movement" as if alive. Among the 37 steps, the "splitting and shaping the silk" process alone needs to be completed in a constant temperature environment with a humidity of 45%: too dry and the ramie will break, too humid and the copper framework will lose its shape. The master must rely on over 10 years of experience to precisely gather each arc within a 20-minute window. What is finally presented is the "contradictory coexistence of soft fibers and metal framework": when touched, it feels the softness of ramie, but when left still, it is like a frozen stream - this is a 1% success rate, resulting in the "natural growth sensation" woven by this technique.
