Mah Jongg Tile Set Description
Tile Set Name: TARTANS.TIL
Subject: Scottish Clan Tartans
Created by: Jean Hoffman
Date: July 20, 1994
Description:
Growing up a McClintock, I was quite intrigued with things Scottish, and
became very fond of the tartan plaids. When I studied weaving, I developed
an even greater appreciation of them. Though I have never woven tartans,
I have seen incredibly well done ones locally. In this tile set I have
still maintained a little of the suit concept. I have chosen to stress
reds in No. 1 - 10, green in 11 - 20, yellow or yellow and white in 21 -
30 and blue in 31 - 34. The remaining tiles are of very different, mostly
black and white plaids. I have tried to maintain the appearance of the
woven plaid, but the setts (patterns) are often much too large for a tile
and I have chosen smaller parts of the pattern for their visual effect and
color dominance. For a more traditional tartan set, see TARTAN.TIL/TXT in
MJTIL130.ZIP (on the Xevious BBS) created by Barbara Beckham, Ph.D.
