New Day New Technique

I thought I would have a go at weaving and free machine embroidery with beading. As I didn't have a suitable frame I decided to improvise. It is amazing what you can do with a PG Tips box! No point in being a creative if you can't do Playschool!
So I made a frame, I did some yarn wrapping, I did a little free machine embroidery and hey, presto! Watch point: I didn't use any stabiliser on this so I had to take care not to catch the embroidery foot in the cross threads. This is the result1 Although I quite like the outcome it has limited possibilities; Maybe a greetings card.
