I am very happy how this turned out.
Top mat: Bainbridge fabric
Bottom mat: Crescent / Tru Vue muted gold
Frame: Dark "cherry colored" by Omega
Mats and frame picked out by customer.
Tru Vue Conservation Clear glass.
Finished size with frame is approx 49 x 44in.
Ribbons are attached via single stitch at the very bottom. A few more non visible stiches behind the "layers" of the rosette hold the head of the ribbon. Customer wanted white backing on the ribbons so that is a piece of white Bainbrige mat.
Instead of just showing the foam core spacers, I covered the edges with strips of mat board secured with wheat starch and further secured by small brass colored sequin tacks every 5 inches or so. They are tiny about 1 inch long and blend in perfect!
8 x 10 is drymounted.
Ribbon was decoration on halter. It is stiched (stitches are hidden) and is in a over sized 1/4 deep box mat.
Back number is secured via the two pins that held it to the jacket. They are little gold ribbons with a blue "stone" in the middle of them.
What do you think?
Of course the pictures are too dark.
