    My Tartan Designs per Robert's request

    OK, Robert -

    Here are some of my designs. I hope you find them worth your time:



















    I'm sure that's more than enough.

    Regards,

    Brian

    Cool! I like the 3D effect.

    Very nice tartans. I really like number 3
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Thanks, Wildrover. I've never seen those particular techniques used in a tartan before and apparently no one I know has either. The people at Scotweb are intrigued by the 3-d techniques but nobody has any idea how it would look if actually woven. Would it show up in the cloth or is it merely something that shows up on the computer?

    If someone with more money than I have likes them enough to want to find out how they'd work they are more than welcome to contact Nick and commission him to weave some. I've certainly designed more tartans than I could use in a lifetime! (Of course, I enjoy it so much I'm gonna keep on designing!)

    Thanks, Paul, as a Glaswegian, I presume you've already see more people wearing tartan than I will in the rest of my life.

    If you'd like to see more of my designs (and, of course, I may end up posting more here) you can find them at the Scotweb tartan designer. I use the same name there as here.

    Very nice. You've got a wonderful sense of balance here. Even the busier designs hang together really well without overwhelming the eye.
