This draws the attention to the egg imediately. The black mat is just as heavy as the egg and makes my eyes start searching around trying to find the most important part of the piece. I hope this still does make any sense.... Looking forward to pics of your next project! Ineke my blog

Posts: 961 10/30/09 06:17 AM	yep Ineke this makes sense and you have the same idea about it as I have............black is nice but puts everything together and doesnot let pop-out the egg itself..............

It is only how I feel but the white mat almost blends into the fabric too much, although of course it depends on how it actually looks "live", monitors being notoriously inaccurate for colours!

Posts: 961 11/03/09 03:49 AM	there are mats with white upperside and inside black, when they cut it you get a veru small black line and that is the one I want.............good idea.thanks for the tip........

Posts: 149 11/03/09 01:02 PM	I am very late to this but...congratulations on a stunning finish!!! Also, I like the mat on the right the best, the light one. edited to add: I had something framed with a mat like you described in your last post, white and a very small black line set in about 1/4 inch from the inner edge of the mat. I don't have a picture of it online, but the effect was great.

Did you do all of the black backstitching in the directions? If so, how long did that take? Sorry for regressing, but am very curious as I'm doing her London one now and it (all the backstitching) looks very daunting. Thanks! Nancy

Posts: 961 11/06/09 04:55 PM	yes Nancy I did ALL backstitching that was on charts, but in st petersburg there was not so much backstitching and sometimes you hardly see it, it only adds something........same for London, I looked at the charts and I think there are more colors backstitcing as black,,,,,,,,in st petersburg there is also no black............but done right it only adds something and doesnot play the first violin........and I think the backstitching took me a few evenings only.............
