Default Homemade camo?

Just curious to see if anyone has gotten creative and made their own camo. I had my mother help make me a pair of pants and a jacket out of some material I found at Wally World this summer that will serve as my main bowhunting duds. Pretty decent pattern and has proved pretty effective thus far in the woods for me this season.

On a side note. Some of the camo question posted on here in recent weeks also got me thinking about some of the digital camo patterns used by the military. I decided to put my photo editing abilities to work and altered a stock photo of a set of digital woodland BDUs. I turned the pic B&W and then drew up a predator style pattern on the jacket and then drew up an ASAT pattern on the pants. I cropped them out and pasted them onto a pic just showing some woods (also B&W) and I was really surprised how well the garments seemed to breakup with such a simple computer alteration. Obviously, actual results may vary, but my findings were interesting none the less. (I think I have the pics on my laptop at home still, I'll try to post them up when I get back)

I may try to pick up a set of the digital woodys and try something like this now. Anyone else experiment with things like this or make their own suits out of stock material from a store?
