He chose a lovely, gently-gilt frame with a carved, 'wavy' detail... a clever nod to Neptune's ocean kingdom. By inscribing a square on the surface of the blue mat (and revealing its' white core) he drew attention to the stitched piece. The inner mat is a subtle metallic gold and is recessed to give extra depth to the framing and to allow room for the beads and charms. Thanks again, Neale.
