There’s never just one answer to which color should I use? I am a big believer in framing a piece to enhance the piece itself not to match the room that it is going in. However I do still keep the room in mind.
Here’s Beep Beep by Dominic Bourbeau finished and framed times TWO! Both are glorious. Sue framed hers in red and black, but that was just too much for my purple and lime walls.
I like to be able to move my art around. So mine has purple mats. Now it can go anywhere!
They both work beautifully. Both mats have adorable rivets on them in a myriad of fun colors. I love that detail.

If you are reading this post on the blog great! Make sure you are signed up for the mailing list so that you don’t miss anything Bedecked and Beadazzled. Did you know we are also on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube? Even more places to follow the fun. xo again.
This is the most thread I’ve seen you put on a canvas in a long time! Any reasons for the density of stitching? I’m sure this bird was whispering in your ear.
Great finishing, and love the piece. It’s energized!
LOL A large part of the canvas is really just 2 ply silk. The areas are painted solid so to honor the art I will generally match the color and cover it. If a piece is more painterly and shows lots of shading I don’t like to hide that beauty with thread I like to let it shine through. I’m glad you like it. xo
Oooh, love these! Funny how the mat makes the colors in the piece have a different intensity. At least to my eye. I am taking Beep Beep to my upcoming stitching retreat to work on. Can’t wait!
Yes, the two colors both work but each plays up different areas of the canvas. Have fun at retreat. xo
Fabulous! Makes me want to pull out my canvas to stitch!
Maybe next week. LOL. xo
Love the finishing!
