This is a post without pictures so you’ll have to imagine what I am talking about.

Yesterday I (very much in advance) bought a frame for “The Castle”. There were two things a bit out of the ordinary - the frames sizes available were quite different than my project’s size, finally measured as 42/45 cm. But I was mainly looking at the frame’s prices because if to order one esp. to be made for me would mean I *cannot* have a frame at all, so much they cost. Basically the difference between a ready frame and custom ordered is almost double cost, which is IMO ridiculous because they’d use absolutely the same materials. I decided a more standard 40/50 size will have to do, too. It’s yet to be seen how exactly the project will be positioned and if I’ll have to hide some parts of it so to fit well in the frame. But this is to be seen after it’s finished. The good thing is I have a frame for it and a very nice one.

The colors: taking a photo with webcam will not do any good. The interesting thing is I initially came in with an idea for a dark and “classic” type of frame but after I saw this one I just thought “this one is pointing itself to me.” I of course took the stitching with me to compare colors. The chosen frame is very different than anything I have by now because by now I was keeping to a more “Victorian” style in my room. The frame is more modern and bright colored - it’s light green with a small inside part left uncolored - light (almost ecru) wooden plank. Looking at this frame by itself it would fit to a more modern interior, but when I compared it and the project, both fit to each other quite well. By now I was imagining that the frame should be darker and the project brighter, here it’s the opposite and it is (at least IMO) bringing a very refreshing feeling.

Anyway, the final verdict is for when everything is finished and framed.
