THE ROMANCE OF TARTAN



THE MOST ROMANTIC of all patterns is tartan - you find it all over the world, in India and Asia in particular - not only in tribal Scotland.


My favourite is Fraser hunting tartan - left.  
My Scottish friends kindly gave me permission to create my own Stefanidis tartan, woven in Scotland on heavy silk, designed on a computer with Annie Stewart from Anta with me looking over her shoulder www.anta.co.uk


Right  - John Stefanidis Dress tartan [red]
             - John Stefanidis Hunting tartan [blue]    


                                             A tartan themed room I designed in Ohio, USA
..and another in England.
