ABSTRACT
India is truly a land of wonders blessed with a myriad of cultures, customs and religions. These cultures have given us some of the best art and craft forms. One such craft is the Indian embroidery, every region in India has its own style of embroidery. A diverse yet distinct testimony of our rich cultural heritage is Phulkari of Punjab. Phulkari is considered as an important part of the trousseau in Punjab. Traditionally Phulkari embroidery were done by hand on a special type of coarser fabric known as ‘khaddar’ with untwisted silk floss called ‘Pat’, but due to some of the reasons like, time consumption & tedious process of manufacturing, usage of coarse fabric, lack of skilled labour, etc., it is not spreading & growing at a broader range. Hence in the present study an attempt was made to develop blocks of phulkari motif for printing of apparels like saree, dupatta, blouse & skirt. The motifs were collected from various sources like internet, books, etc. Selected motifs were developed into blocks by professional artists. The developed Phulkari motifs used for placement on the apparels by using Corel draw software for visual evaluation. All the developed placement of designs were coded & judged by a panel of 30 members. Four most preferred designs from each apparel are selected for final product development. Developed products were evaluated by same panel of members and ranked the product according to obtaining scores. All the developed products were highly accepted & appreciated in the evaluation.
