Carol, they both look absolutely stunning.

I have a question: from the picture, it seems that the deckled edges are showing instead of being behind a mat...is that right? I do most of my own ( very simple) framing, and would not know how to do this:-)

yes christiane... i always show the edges of the paper-- it's something i've done for decades. you have to make a strong tape adhesion on the back-- with archival linen tape. you can find this in art stores. i will try to photograph a linen-tape hinge for you.
i stopped liking mats in the early 80's.
