@Flick I think I'd like the left, but with frame and glass. If possible.
Minimal passepartout, I think.
But definitely behind glass, to keep it safe from dust and fading.
@Gnomeshatecheese Never heard that term before. I agree re: dust.
Will see what the picture framer thinks.
Other than white, maybe a pastel orange would contrast well with all the green, but it depends on personal color preferences at that point too

@threalist @Gnomeshatecheese If it has a frame, itβs going to be white or pale wood.
There is also the option of leaving a border of the canvas (pale brown) visible between the dark brown and the matting colour.
@Flick @threalist I like the canvas next to the embroidery, I think it gives the embroidery some space. The passepartout being all the way until the embroidery edging looks a bit claustrophobic for me.
As @Gnomeshatecheese suggests, keep the canvas next to the embroidery to give it space, then use a dark walnut color mat to make it all pop, and use the tan frame instead of white because it matches all the earthy tones.
The frame should focus attention on the piece.
Definitely frame it, as it elevates it beyond "oh, that's something I did" on the wall.
Blimey: the man at the framing shop says itβll be about fifty quid!
Still, he said very complimentary things about it.
@FeartnTired He asked me how long it had taken, and I was quite surprised when I totted it up and guesstimated sixty hours.
@astarsscreams It is, but Iβve used him before and he does good work.
@Flick You can make sure your art fits in off-the-shelf frames before you make it.
