38. I did, yes.

It's a decent fundraiser, for sure. I didn't see exactly what "portion" of the profits goes to an unnamed charity -- perhaps that was specified further in.

But as a trademarked design, there's simply not much to be excited about. In order to signal support for this cause (worthy as it is), there's quite a steep price threshold. Seems a bit out of range for the wiccans I know, which is too bad for what could reasonably be seen as a form of artistic activist magick.

Anyone can submit a tartan design to the registry, so hopefully other people will commemorate other causes. It's a great idea. My sole quibble is with the restrictive financial access to what could be a far more widespread message. They could just as easily registered the tartan with a Creative Commons license, or posted the news with what many craftspeople add to their own patterns - permission to create for one's own use, but not for resale without written permission. They would still likely get a similar number of orders from people who want to honor the cause and who also have the finances to do so.
