Chen himself has a hobby of carving since about 30 years. Chen admitted that in the creation of the tiger statue, Chen has failed more than 10 times, and the hardest part of the construction is a 3-dimensional shaping and painting / coloring.
"If my hand tremble or shake even a little, the statue would jump and disappear."
"The tiger can be seen from different angles, and still looks like its alive. The tinting is also very difficult, with the motifs in its back and red color on its tongue," Said Chen, who was 54 years old.
The time it takes to make the statue is about 3 months of intensive work, and completed in last November. Chen estimated it worth 3 million dollars of Taiwan, or around £ 58,000.
According to the Chinese year, the tiger is considered to bring good luck, including the reliable animel, but not predictable.
"I've learned to take and hold my breath. Now if I take breath, I can hold it for 60 seconds, and then I can carve each stroke with the rhythm of my veins."
In addition to raisin, Chen also used various materials, such as rice, sand, yarn, dental floss, and even the heads of ants and the wings of flies.
