New tartan arrived Yay!!!!

Another winner!!

I can't wait to see the kilt when barb is finished!

Here is a little better shot of the colors. For some reason my video camera seems to be able to capture the colors better than my digital camera, though the focus isn't as sharp. The grey looks blue-ish, but with the lighting in this particular room it actually does.

Wonderful looking tartan! Well done.

Yep, I'm liking this one and looking forward to the kilt. I'm still surprised how colorful it is for a basically grey and brown tartan. I got the straps made for the kilt a couple days ago. I think they'll look really nice on the tartan and they will match my other leather gear.

Todd,

Would you be willing to share with us who made those kilt straps?? And in passing, I saw (fairly certain) the 'original' T6 tartan last summer while I was attending kilt camp with Barb and I found it to be stunning. And now, the new colours are exquisite and just beautiful.


Cheers!

Todd, you have a keen eye for color and great sense of design!!

Stephane, I make all of our leather stuff myself. I'm not very well stocked with leather working tools, but I do have a couple big sewing machines for my sailmaking work and can do fairly simple leather projects. Since they're just for us, I don't have to worry about how inefficient I am at it. You probably saw the T6 black background version. There are now four (light blue, black, navy and the new grey one). I have one more that I want to do some day, a brown "hunting" version, but it's going to be a while as I'll need to save up the funds. You can see a lot of pictures of our tartan and leather projects (and a lot of other assorted craziness) in this Photobucket album:

Bluescelt, Thank you! I think I inherited it. My dad was a well known contemporary watercolor and casein painter.
