So, the other day I was searching for something - don't recall what - and then started looking for large images I could pilfer for use as my background wallpaper, when I found this, (here reduced considerably):


Lately I have been on a kick collecting images with orange in them to go with the golden pumpkin color I have painted my TV room/office. I love this one for the 1940's style fashion illustration and the majolica feel it has.

Then i noticed the sock on the fellow on the left.


Say, I said to myself, wouldn't that look great as a tartan!

So, I went to the Scotweb Tartan Design site and pulled up one of the tartans I've been working on, and gave the new drop to replace the color function a whirl, and no time I had this tartan, which I think is quite nice, actually.


I wonder what he is day-dreaming about.
Probably wishing he was in a kilt, that's what!

Why, with Nick's new toy, I killed not nearly as much time as I would have if I had to manually recreate the thread count in new colors.

Nick, you are an enabler! You know that right?

Regards,
Rex.
