Cynthia Taylor-Luce I've seen this before but with an empty frame, not the back board in it. I find that board distracting. And I don't think the frame has enough interest on its own. You would do this with something larger and more detailed.

judyg Like the empty frame; like the print. Why not put the two together with a more interesting mat?

caligirlsmom I don't feel that you are silly, but it does look like you were robbed. I agree that usually this effect is done with an empty frame - no back board - with some interest in itself as an art object. I don't feel this frame has that kind of power.

onthefence I agree with cali and Cynthia - I like the look but with an empty frame. I've generally seen it done in groupings as well - 3 or 4 frames in different sizes/shapes.

hillaryu Maybe I'm behind the times, but to me seems like an unfinished project.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design I've liked groupings of empty frames when they are in multiples of 3 or 5 or more. Have fun with empty frames! Consignment centers frequently have them at great prices. Leave them as they come or paint them all one color.

jimbeauindy I like the look, some frames are a work of art in themselves. With the less elaborate, you could mount them on top of each other, or more overlapping each other in a smaller area and make it a "3-D Art Piece".
