The field of handicrafts depends on experimentation, so the researcher choose Fabrics because it is
considered one of the available materials, which can be divided to natural
fabrics, industrial fabrics and mixing between the two of them, it has a lot of
patterns and colors, also it has
porosity, suppleness and tenderness, fabrics use was limited on its original
nature without any change or treatment, so the researcher tried to change this
nature and turn it to become one of the sustainable materials, which can be used
in handicrafts to create sustainable mural handicraft inspired by Islamic arts,
The research problem is summarized in the following questions:
· Can the fabrics remnants be used as a source to create sustainable
mural handicrafts?
· Can some technical treatments be applied to give the remnants of
fabrics hardness and sustainability?
So the researcher assumed that:
· Some technical treatments can be applied to give the remnants of
fabrics hardness and sustainability.
· The remnants of technical treated fabrics can be used to create
sustainable mural handicrafts inspired by Islamic arts.
the research aim is about having benefit from the fabrics which is treated
technically by the polymers, such as
(polyvinyl acetate) and (transparent wood varnish), to give remnants of fabrics
hardness and sustainability in the handicraft, the research Importance appears
in being one of the researches that contributes to sustainable development in
handicrafts field, and it includes a lot of special technical ways to use
fabrics remnants, this research cares about inspiring some of geometric and
floral Islamic decorative units, it is expected to have an economic
payoff from this research if it has been applied in the field of small projects,
this study includes six main themes:
1. defining the fabrics kinds, 2. defining the polymers and its types
which has been used in this research, 3. The concept of sustainability, 4. the
meaning of mural handicraft, 5.the Islamic decorative units types,6.the
experimental application which has been applied by the students of the third
year at the art education department – faculty of specific education
–Alexandria university, they applied a lot of technical ways such as (rolling,
quilling, crimping ) on the remnants of fabrics to implement it on the Islamic
decorative units, then each one of the students made two pieces of
handicrafts one of them is 40×40 cm and
the other is 20×20 cm.
at the end of the experiment the researcher made a work shop to
collect the students̓ handicrafts together to form the mural handicraft, which
consists of 64 handicrafts size of 40×40 cm and 72 handicrafts size of
20×20 cm which have been divided in two opposite walls, it was great joy for the
students to see their handicrafts on the department walls one next to the other,
also it was impressive mural handicraft , because it has a variety of
techniques, colors, geometric and floral Islamic decorative units, and two
different sizes of the handicrafts, all this give the mural handicraft variety, unity,
harmony and integration, then the results and recommendations are presented
followed by references.
