Embroidery Framed by Vinyl Record

embroidery_LP_frame.jpg

I love seeing new ways to display embroidery, and this example from Flickr user, moesewco, fits that bill.

I drew this face one afternoon, and decided that it would look good in black floss on a dark background. When the question of framing came up, I was looking for options that did not include simply putting the pieces inside a wooden embroidery hoop. I decided that this face would look good framed by an LP record. You might notice that it's also backed with a record, and that I drilled holes and stitched the records together to complete the frame.
