Abstract
India is a country with varied cultural, traditional and fine art heritage. It is witnessed in
the Srikalahasti temple, which offers intricate and beautiful designs through sensual hand
painting techniques known as Kalamkari. Whereas the carvings like metal inlay work with a
skilled expertise can be seen in Nampally Bidriware handicraft. These designs need a carrier
to bring it out to the world and on the other side the textile world is constantly looking out for
new designs. In order to meet these requirements, the study was planned to bring the hand
painted sensuality of Kalamkari and tactful metallic texture of Bidriware designs to develop
fusion motifs for home textiles through digital process.
Traditional designs were collected personally from both Kalamkari and Bidriware from
temple, museum and from artisans. Secondary sources like journals, books and internet were
also referred. The collected designs were screened into thirty designs for Kalamkari and thirty
designs for Bidriware, keeping in mind about their suitability aspect for home textile items
and creative latency. A total of forty fusion motifs were developed using these both arts with
the help of CorelDraw, Abode Photoshop and 3DS max softwares. Top twenty ranked
designs were selected by a panel of experts using a preferential choice index for various
parameters. Overall acceptability of fusion motifs was assessed to be 72 percent. A total of
three placements were developed for each of five home textile articles like arched valence,
cushion cover, fabric ceiling, roman blind and room divider digitally. Developed placements
were evaluated considering all the parameters, which are highly accepted by respondents.
Top ranked percentages of the home textile placements of arched valence, cushion cover,
fabric ceiling, roman blind and room divider are 80.44 percent, 74.22 percent, 83.33 percent,
76.22 percent and 82.44 percent, respectively. Thus the transformation of traditional folk art
designs into trendy fusion designs has heightened the range of designing and efficiency to
meet the ever changing fashion-design world with high acceptability index
