Patterning weaving deriving design from a Zebra creating hand woven fabrics and accessories for home decorations.

Abstract

The study demonstrated patterning weaving deriving from a zebra creating hand woven accessories for home decoration. It also demonstrated how handwoven accessories for home decoration could help the youth to create employment opportunities so as to earn a living in the different areas, communities in which they live. The study was guided by the following objectives; TO CREATE HAND WOVEN ACCESSORIES FOR HOME DECORATION DERIVING PATTERNS AND DESIGNS FROM THE ZEBRA, TO ESTABLISH THE DIFFERENT WAYS THROUGH WHICH DIFFERENT PATTERNS CAN BE DERIVED FROM THE ZEBRA, TO FIND OUT THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS THAT CAN BE USED TO PRODUCE DECORATIVE HOME FABRICS TO EXPLORE OTHER PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE ZEBRA. THIS RESEARCH STUDY FOUND OUT THAT MAKING HAND WOVEN ACCESSORIES FOR HOME DECORATION DERIVING PATTERNS AND DESIGNS FROM THE ZEBRA WOULD CREATE AWARENESS AMONG THE LOCAL YOUTHS ON HOW TO REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT. THE STUDY REVEALED THAT THE USE OF PATTERNS DERIVED FROM THE ZEBRA TO CREATE HAND WOVEN ACCESSORIES FOR HOME DECORATION WILL BE APPLIED BY THE YOUTHS TO REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT. THE STUDY MADE RECOMMENDATION TO THE YOUTH WEAVERS TO HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THEIR MAIN SOURCES OF INSPIRATION SUCH THAT THEY CAN EASILY COME UP WITH DESIGNS DERIVED FROM THEIR SOURCES OF INSPIRATION. THE RESEARCHER GUIDES, INTERPRETES AND DISCUSSED THE DIFFERENT INFORMATION GOT FROM THE FIELD BASING ON THE OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY.
