I liked that one a lot - right until I pasted a bunch of them together to see a larger sample of the pattern and saw the op-art effect. Would it do it in real life? I don't know, but spending $900 to find out didn't seem wise.
I do enjoy the idea of playing with the visual effect of 3-D depth with the designs, or seeing if I can make colors or elements "pop" and stand out (sculpture major in college). Again though, it's one of those things that would need to be woven in order to see if it really happens similarly in wool. If I thought I could break even doing it, I could see designing universal tartans ("fashion tartans" seems like a rather insulting term) having them woven and retailing yardage, but I think you would lose your shirt trying to sell expensive wool to most Americans.
