While rooting through the garage this week, I found this frame.
I decided that I could make a decor item for my patio, which also could hold various gardening implements on a row of hooks. But what I really wanted was to fill the opening with an abstract painting of geraniums. Something like this:
I picked up a remnant of solid white cotton twill. It seemed to be sturdy enough to stand up to outside conditions. After I washed and dried the fabric, I cut a piece approximately 3 inches wider and longer than the frame opening. Now the fun starts.
My fabric paint choices included green, emerald, red, and yellow. I mixed some violet into the yellow to make a gold color. After about twenty minutes of messing around I had a nice background painted.
To give a little variety to the patches of color, I scrunched up the fabric.
And here is my panel, fully dry and ready for further paint layers.
I’m excited by this result, and keen to work on this fiber object some more.

Am looking forward to the finished project.

I love that you found the frame in storage, and that it inspired you to fill it! Will it suffer from the weather? Or will it be in a protected space?

It will be somewhat protected by the patio roof. No sunlight or rain will reach it, but I expect a fair number of spiders and ants might find their way behind and onto it. I don’t mind, the backyard is open to all creatures.
