The first project of the spring term in the second year had a choice of titles, I selected 'Eco Scot'. Initially I did the obvious research into the two terms, Eco leading me directly to recycling, however I looked into recycling in a less than obvious way. I started to think of the recycling of ideas rather than of materials, so I decided to 'recycle' the idea of tartan, I wanted to loosen some of the strictures that define what can be a tartan. The 'Scot' term of the title lead me to looking into what makes poeple think of Scotland, leading straight back to tartan, so I decided that I would produce a kind of tartan that symbolised Scotland completely, bringing in the national flower (thistles) and another of its famous icons, Mackintosh.
