Such as which colour of mount to put round 'Firespot', a failed quilt which I 'altered' with Lutradur, and then cut up, not once, but twice, to get to this size. A white mount doesn't look right; this is a terracotta coloured and a sort of beige (which looks pink in the photo). I think the first one looks better, though I'm not really convinced by either. What do you think?
I'm finally back to normal after an extremely busy Festival of Quilts... thank you to everyone who came to see me, bought something and/or just waved in passing. I didn't expect to be quite as tired afterwards, but I suppose seven workshops in four days will do that to one... sigh. Didn't see much of the quilts either, but did manage to get a few words of Russian spoken, the only time I ever get to do that!
FOQ saw the launch of my kits for lutradur, of which more another day. I'm now in Advanced Tidy Up Mode, yet again, and putting some work in my Etsy shop, which has been sadly neglected. This is a fern linocut with lots of stitch. I like linocutting, don't really do enough of it, though I do have a pile of printed pieces to stitch into.

at the risk of being Difficult - have you tried black? the terracotta one looks better than the beige but I still think there's a lack of contrast. If contrast is what you're after of course :)
I agree, I think a darker value matte would look better. Maybe even a deep purple if black is too stark.
