Experimentation in this context represents an effective tool for repurposing and developing these arts by creating new visual solutions and techniques that enrich the field of textiles. In this context, the importance of the mutual benefit between the arts of handicrafts (Etamine) and the art of weaving is highlighted, opening the way for contemporary innovations that express the integration of authenticity and innovation. This can be achieved by employing elements inspired by plant nature in the formulation of textile products with a contemporary artistic character, in light of modern visual visions.

The current research aims to explore how to apply the mutual benefit between the arts of handicrafts (Etamine) and weaving in a new, innovative way that expresses authenticity and modernity by using plant elements to
