Cockcade or Rosette?

[MacWage]

Is anyone else reading this thread thinking about making a rossette or cockade out of the X Marks tartan? I think I will need to order that book as well.

Cheers

Made one on a hat I made.
Basically, it is the yellow centered portion of the blue and gray on a blue-ish tinted gray balmoral (with yellow toorie and navy-ish trim that EXACTLY matches the "ancient navy" of the X Marks tartan.

I need to get a pict up, as well as one of my X Marks tartan kilt (box pleated to the WHITE stripe). THAT should give another option for the new batch of X Marks kilts about to be created.

I make a balmoral to match/coordinate EACH of my kilts. On all the ones recently, I use some scrap from the waist band to make a "cockade." Actually, it is a patch of tartan covering multi-layered hair canvas (also scrap from the waistband of the kilt) and sewn onto the balmoral on the sides (like a "normal" cockade), so the badge can be installed JUST like a cockade.

I think I need to get my wife to take picts and put them up. I'll ask after she finishes up what she is doing (will be a NUMBER of hours).

I'd be very interested in a picture. As I would like to use an X Marks Kilt Pin on a balmoral I have ordered to go with my X marks tartan kilt, a tartan rosette or cockade would really tie them together.
