If you're putting a shamrock on the Irish flag surely there should be a thistle on the Scottish...

Take a piece of cork (wine bottle cork perhaps) and carve it into a star and use it to stamp the stars onto your flag.

Michael,
Since you are doing different Celtic flags, how about one for Wales? My father's ancestors hale from there. I am sure you could do a great job.

You bet, I can do a Welsh flag. I'll do it. I'm just getting started. While I was at the table saw, and router table, I cut/grooved two long pieces of lumber, for more frames. If you can dream it, you can do it, I always say.

Exactly! Nothing like having a nice Pasty in Cornwall...
This thread got me a-thinkin' about one of the most cluttered Irish flags I've seen, that of the Irish Brigade in the ACW
You can buy this reproduction in The Irish Brigade Store in Gettysburg PA (yes there's an entire shop of Irish Brigade stuff, been there a few times). It's easier to read than the original flag above

Civil war flag
I won't be recreating that Irish Civil War flag, anytime soon. Although I would like to own one.

Other flags
Just to share this with the rest of you...I thought I'd do a Jolly Roger. I'll use my wife's crackle medium, on the frame. So it will be white, with a black crackle. Background=black, skull and bone= white, of course. Working on rampant lion. Red frame, yellow background, red lion. I like the idea of a Welsh flag. If you can dream it, you can do it, right? This past halloween, on my haunted castle, I flew four flags: Saltire, Rampant Lion, Ireland (with shamrock), and Erin go Bragh. A photo of the castle is in "Show us your pics," but you can't see the flags. Maybe next year, I'll have more flags. (Welsh, etc).
