I found this old clock in my closet, broken, so I took the "clock" out of it and want to use this metal cagey thing as a frame for art. IDEAS?? No idea what to make. Help me! (Note: this is rather large -- 26 inches in diameter.) - ThreadSky

Put one of my art prints in it! Pick one out from my website and I’ll give it to you https://anntopia.com

Another angle so you can see the metal "cage" part of it.

I get a very strong One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest vibe from that clock. It has me longing for Chief to break free!

But the clock is soooo cool

I think it’s a pretty cool clock! I lean towards getting the clock mechanism fixed!

What if you made some animals or chickens to put behind it, like they are in their pen? You could cross-stitch a scene of them.

A collection of gears suspended behind it, perhaps, if you like an industrial kind of look.

Or maybe something wood to contrast with the metal - like wood rounds, the kind you can get from the craft store. The ones I'm thinking of are thin, so you could get different sizes, stain them a nice color(s), overlap them in an attractive pattern and attach them behind that screen.

My personal 1st choice would be vintage baseball (field or stadium) but if that's not yours, my 2nd would be architectural, preferably an industrial setting. I really like the concept of vintage Manhattan in the background, Brooklyn warehouses in the fore, & the Brooklyn bridge spanning between

There is a 100% chance that your really cool looking clock is key part of a cyberpunk time travel story.

I think that would look great hanging on a chain around David’s neck 🥸

Maybe an older looking/historic map of a place that has meaning to your family?

Interesting!

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” painted over the map (maybe map on bottom half that fades into a sky/clouds
Then have a bird or two on sitting the top of clock.

I just saw these lights in an H Mart in Colorado and thought of your post.
