Photoframe from an embroidery hoop

 I was asked if I could find an unusual way of framing this little photograph.  The lady didnt want to put it in a normal picture frame, she wanted something different.

then added the pieces of vintage lace with handstitching after inserting it in the embroidery hoop.
