The inspiration of this design came from a Scottish Heritage. In Scotland there are different "clans" that mark your family blood line. The clan represetned here is the Macgregor Clan, Which inclues a crest with a lion and a crown, with the saying "Rioghal Mo Dhream" meaning "My Race is Royal." Both the lion and the saying are included in this textile.
The focal point of the pattern is the letter "S," This stands for three things, of course Scotland, but also Skinner and Scott. Scott is my dads name, and it's from his side where the Scotish blood line comes from. Skinner, is the surname that is associated with the Macgregor clan. Also there are two flowers that surround the "S," and these are Thistle, a flower that Scotland is known for. Lastly, there is bagpipe at the bottom of the "S," and this too is a known instrument of Scotland, and also happens to be one of my dads favorite choices of musical entertainment. (his one flaw, according to my mom). The color scheme is based off the Scottish flag which is royal blue and white, with the white part making an "X." This also mimics the "X" that is behind the this decal.
This textile was put together in this way, primarily to mimic the scottish flag. The main decal, was created to mimic a textile pattern that had a compilation of different flowers and birds that were recognizable up close, but far away the compilation created a textured circle or ball. This textile was aspiring to be the same texture allusion but with different Scottish elements instead of birds and flowers.
I am very happy with the way the decal ended up, and I'm also proud of the compilation of images. I do wish though, that the decal looked more like the "ball" I had described before. I would also like to have added more dimension to my image, and more texture. As of right now its very two dimensional and sketch like.
