First I'll share Wherefore Art Thou, which I absolutely love! When I chose the fabric for this, I wanted it to look like a stone balcony in the moonlight, and I tried to keep to that look for the framing. I chose a suede outer mat in a darker shade than the fabric, to maintain the texture in the fabric and make it look like darkened stone in the background, and a silver inner mat to highlight Juliet, almost like a spotlight in a stage production. The frame was chosen to complement the colors and give the feel of a carved balcony:
It's almost anticlimactic to share The Blossom Collector, which I had framed without mats because the fabric provided enough interest by itself:
This past Saturday I received my Curtis Boehringer Happy Halloween piece finished by Sue Hillis, and she did an amazing job with it:
Both Gracie and Sophie approve of it (though I have to make sure to put it somewhere they can't get to it and rip those ribbons to shreds!):
To those in the US, hope you have a relaxing Labor Day, and to everyone a great stitchy week!
Three fabulous finishes! You're right, Wherefore Art Thou is absolutely stunning. The frame complements your stitching perfectly. I love it when that happens! You have beautiful works of art to display for years to come.
