Fifty women were selected purposively from different areas of Hisar city to collect information regarding existing upcycling practices for pre and post apparel waste. The pre and post apparel waste was collected from boutique owners, tailors and known shopkeepers. Top ranked designs of six selected articles from each articles i.e. apparel and accessories, home furnishing & accessories and utility articles were selected and developed by the researcher using pre and post apparel waste. Hence, a total of 18 upcyled articles were developed. Cost of the developed upcycled articles was calculated on the basis of the cost of raw material used and labour charges. The cost of pre and post apparel waste was not calculated and added as these were collected free of cost The selling price of developed upcycled article was calculated by adding 10 percent profit to the cost price of each developed upcycled article.

    Adaptation of traditional painting motifs for Aari work
    (CCSHAU, 2015) Sodhi, Suman; Arya, Nisha
    The present study on ‘Adaptation of Traditional Painting Motifs for Aari Work’ was conducted to strengthen creativity by exploring the possibility of fusion of traditional painting motifs and Aari work with different fabric embellishment techniques. The concept behind the theme was to create new range of textile designs by maintaining the beauty and originality of traditional paintings as well as Aari work. In this study, two famous traditional Indian paintings that is Madhubani and Warli were selected keeping in mind their suitability to Aari work. Out of total eighty motifs which were collected through secondary sources, thirty motifs were selected by experts’ preferences for development of designs. Two designs for each selected motif of both the paintings were developed using CAD. Six designs i.e. 22a, 21b and 35a from Madhubani painting and 24b.10b and 9a were selected on the basis of experts’ preferences. Twenty four samples were prepared using three fabric embellishment techniques i.e. hand painting with Aari work, hand painting & patch with Aari work and stencil printing with Aari work and controlled sample of pure Aari work for Madhubani and Warli painting designs. The prepared samples were got assessed by the experts and consumers in overall appeal, cost acceptability and suitability of designs and techniques used. It was found that the respondents had very high opinion about the developed designs and techniques. The cost of prepared samples of Madhubani and Warli painting was highly acceptable by the majority of the respondents. The work done in the form of prepared samples was appreciated and preferred for application on wide range of articles. Thus, the motifs explored from Madhubani and Warli paintings were highly acceptable for product development as variety of designs can be created through the use of CAD technology. Fusion of traditional art forms with different techniques will help in making the designing cost effective while simultaneously being time and energy saving.
