    First Attempt - Jewish Tartan



    Here is my first attempt. Unfortunately, this is MUCH darker and muted than I expected the image to be, but I hope you get the general idea.

    Blue - sea and sky
    White - purity
    (Blue and white together, as on the Israeli flag, represent a Jewish prayer shawl)
    Red - blood that has been spilled over thousands of years of persecution and oppression
    Gold - richness of culture and history, the promised land of Israel
    Green - trees planted in Israel as the Jews have so many times turned a barren desert to a thriving nation.

    (Moderators, I hope you can view this thread as a tartan discussion for a people, not a religious discussion.)

    Looks like an interesting start though, IE. As far as colors go, If that is an image from House of Tartan's interactive weaver you can use photoshop's replace color feature to make it look different. (Provided you use photoshop.)

    I can't speak for the mods, but that's how I view it.
