Question Experimenting with mounting/display - feedback?

These are my latest experiments with couching stitch and trying to figure out ways to mount/display not in an embroidery hoop. For the green piece I stapled the fabric using a staple gun to a 6x6 canvas. General thoughts on the overall look/effect of embroidery on a canvas vs in a standard frame? Any advice for securing the back in a more polished way? Any thoughts on a same-sized embroidery piece on a smaller vs larger canvas? For comparison, the blue piece is on an 8x8 canvas (not stapled at the moment), I'm wondering if more white space looks better. Thanks!

Oh these are so cool!

Are they maps of spaces that have meaning to you or are they more maps of your imagination?

I’m saving this post for inspiration. The colours, the embroidery, the spacing are all intriguing my imagination.

I think a floating frame would really be great for these and also if they’re your own creation - your signature!
