Entry #2:
"This cross stitch was done for me by my Mother and I watned a design that was both elegant and fairly simple. So I used neutral colors on the frame and top mat, but spiced it up a little with the cutouts on the bottom mat, showing a larger reveal that I normally would, drawing more attention to the cross stitch."
Frame: Larson Juhl 728326 taos sand reverse
Mats: c7193 and b4146
Fillet: Larson juhl # 148320 taos gold fillet

Entry #3
" A client brought me a doily his grandmother had crocheted. My first suggestion was to float it on a black suede mat can use a circular silver frame. He liked the idea of the black background, but told me he'd rather have a square frame.
I showed him a sample of one of my deco v-grooves, explaining that this particular design would make a nice transition from the round doily to the square frame. He loved it.
Starting with a 14" square piece of Bainbridge 4165 coal black suede, I lined out the deco groove as shown on the diagrams. I lined it out with an X-acto Parallel Line Marking gauge, made the appropriate erasures for the in and out effect, and marked my cut points with circles (this keeps me from getting confused). I then cut the grooves using the surface groove method on my Keeton Mat cutter. After the grooving was done, I heat mounted the grooved board to another piece of B4165 and the cut the circular opening with a Fletcher 1100? oval cutter. This gave me a nice 8-ply mat to separate the doily from the glass.
I hand-stitched the doily to yet another piece of B4165 with ivory cotton thread using a very large thimble to protect my fingers and keep my blood off the doily. I used 3M No.969 Super Sticky ATG Tape at the outside edges of the mat to hold the mat and mount together. The moulding was LJ 107 vbs, and the glass was Tru-View Anti Reflective glass."

"All double matte craving done by hand - uses inlaid strips. Was a fun challenge. Customer was very impressed. Done in CANADA - no less!
(took pic before framed - but added frame later to represent the true final look)"

Entry #5
"The moulding is from International. The mat is chocolate Suede from Bainbridge. The 100-year-old tatting was sewn with cotton thread. The fillet around the picture is LJ. The piece was a bit brittle and couldn't be stretched to perfectly square. There was over 100 stitches holding in place."
