An Unlikely Start for an Artwork

For years I've thinking idly about making wreaths, what with the dried flowers and various interesting items I have already, to put on one,  and now I was given among a lot of other stuff, a door hanger for a wreath. 

But the basic framework escaped me, didn't have a circular item to use as the base.  Until this morning when I was virtuously recycling, and there at the dumpster were two small sturdy bicycle tires.  

So one is now on my patio, mud rinsed off, drying and ready for me to cover and then decorate.  And I will even be in time for the fall season. Then I can redo it for various other seasons.  Rubber will be easy to attach items to, and to pin on a base fabric covering. At least that's the plan.  Since the front door is behind a full storm door, it's protected from the weather and wind, so that's not a problem. I just have to be sure not to make it too dimensional, so as not to hit the  storm door.
