    Adaptation of Canvas Embroidery Motifs for Fabric Painting
    (CCSHAU, 2016) Kavita; Vivek Singh
    The present study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state to explore the possibility of adaptation of canvas embroidery motifs for fabric painting. Forty five canvas embroidery motifs were collected personally from secondary sources like books, journals, and internet. The collected motifs were screened and categorized as geometrical, floral, and animal & bird motifs by advisory committee keeping in mind their suitability for fabric painting on kurti. These three categories included ten motifs each. These motifs were assessed by experts for their selection. Top ranked three motifs in each category were selected by experts for further research work. Maximum number of collected motifs were geometrical motifs followed by floral motifs. A total of forty five designs were created using nine selected motifs with the help of CorelDRAW software. Top ranked four designs were selected by experts by using a preferential choice index for design placements and colour ways. A total of eight kurti, four embroidered and four fabric painted were developed as per the selected designs, their placements and colour ways. Developed kurti were assessed by thirty consumers for their acceptability level on various parameters. Design number 4 and 44 were highly acceptable designs while design number 29 and 30 were acceptable designs. Created designs and fabric painting technique were highly acceptable parameters while design placement, colour ways and embroidery technique were acceptable parameters of all the designs by consumers. In terms of overall appearance, painted kurti of design number 4 was ranked Ist followed by embroidered kurti of same design ranked IInd and painted kurti of design number 44 got IIIrd rank. Cost of all the developed kurti was considered ‘appropriate but comparatively more number of consumers rated the cost of fabric painted kurti as ‘appropriate’. Consumers had high opinion about all the designs of developed embroidered and painted kurti except one painted kurti of design number 30 (2.32) as they strongly agreed with all the opinion statements with average scores ranging between 2.34 to 2.55. Experts had high opinion regarding adaptation of canvas embroidery motifs for fabric painting as they strongly opined that fabric painting was time saving and cost effective surface embellishment technique as per market trend. It was easy in execution and has effectively replicated the effect of canvas embroidery to maintain its beauty with WMS ranging between 2.34- 3.00. Thus, transformation of innovative designs of canvas embroidery into fabric painting has enhanced the range of designing and productivity.
