| Abstract | Indian arts and crafts comprise of exquisite designs and patterns inspired from intricate designs made on monuments, temple architecture and sculptures. India’s rich heritage is preserved in its folk arts and crafts. Today there is a tremendous interest in the rich heritage of Indian folk tradition. Immense in its variety and range, this tradition reflects the amazing diversity of the people who have crated it. Our country is a popular travel attraction across the globe because of the magic of famous Indian arts and crafts, many fairs and festivals which display folk and tribal arts. Keeping this in mind the present study was undertaken with the aim of developing a product range using aipan designs for surface enrichment with intricate hand embroidery to be popularized as mementoes for tourists. The aipan designs were collected from secondary sources and adapted according to their suitability for hand embroidery technique. The adapted designs in the category of center, buti and border designs were evaluated by 10 respondents and designs with highest ranks were selected. Fifty line design patterns were prepared from circle, lines and stars designs and evaluated by 30 respondents and were used for the development of design arrangement using selected aipan designs for 10 planned handicraft products namely 5 fashion accessories (belt, wrist band, wallet, mobile pouch and hand bag) and 5 utility items (pen holder, book mark, photo frame, jewelley box and document file). Fifty design arrangements (5 for each product) were developed using selected aipan motifs and evaluated by 30 respondents and one design arrangement with highest weighted mean score was selected for each product for hand embroidery. Thereafter the fabrics were embroidered as per the selected design arrangement, stitched and finished appropriately. Finally products prepared with hand embroidery were visually assessed on four parameters i.e. aesthetic, innovation in design and production, quality and craftsmanship and performance parameters. All the products were widely accepted by the consumer as evident from high ratings obtained and most of the respondents stated that they would definitely purchase these products if available commercially in the market Thus hand embroidery technique can be used effectively for textile designing along with adapted aipan designs. |
