Couture Mats...thoughts?

So, I saw them. I liked 'em. And I ordered them. BUT, as I was perusing the Crescent table at recent PPFA Sha-do I was astonished to find them ballyhooed. Yup, ballyhooed. Well, I know what I like, I called Crescent and ordered them. A lot of boxes arrived, and only one small one was the Couture Mats the rest were the whole of the other lines in the 4" width. And then a swanky wee holder for the Couture Mats Display piece.

I paid the $70 and got 'em. "If you build it they will come" was my justification. Well an unusual job came in, and was trying all sorts of whacky stuff with it. And dang it if the 'Spun Tungsten' didn't look nifty. It retailed MORE than the Dennis Mathewson frame to go with it, the client was over the moon though.

So.....whaddaya think? Like the Couture line? Pics to come after the DM frame arrives.


BTW, Crescent has this wizzy rebate thing on....buy the samples, 70 smackers, sell 'em, and send in the invoice and get the 70 back. They sent my check pretty fast too. And CFS outta Lauderdale made my driver where a tuxedo T-shirt and white gloves to deliver these things. Mitch looked a wee bit dorky. But I like him fine.
 
I LOVE the pebble mats! But what art would go with it? I have a tendency to like the frame materials more than what I put into them and these mats definitly fall into that category.
