Displaying/mounting tessellations

Hello,
I've folded a few tessellations from Eric Gjerde's book. I'd like to display one of the better results. I was thinking about putting it on a mat and in a frame somehow, but wasn't sure how to go about it for a good result. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I did try to look through old messages in the forum, but didn't come across the topic for models that aren't three dimensional - so if it's already been discussed, please just point me over to the thread.

Thank you,
Katie

You could try to make a frame like this: Image
Spread Hexagons (Eric Gjerde) by Michael Groß, on Flickr
Or mount them on a normal frame with a dark background.

Here are a couple of ideas:

Thank you all so much. It looks like your work is between two panes of glass or plastic. That seems like such a simple solution in retrospect. I was imaging glue and a mat and trying to figure out how that would work without making a mess of the paper.
