"ROBYN LYMAN: This is Robyn with Expert Village. I just like to show you some of the variety of drawings that I have. I have a file here full of drawings, and I literally have thousands of them. But these are transparencies. There's one with the "mom." You put a gold behind it and it will stand out, just jump out at you. So like I said, it depends on the type of hologram paper you get, that really makes the difference on these drawings. These are all just different drawings. Like I said, I put up six to a sheet, and that way I can get more for my money. I had a friend, Jack. I've taught him how to draw. He wanted to know how to do that. He used to always sit and watch me so I showed him. Look what Jack put out. Incredible. I got a whole file with nothing but Jack's drawings. He's just amazing. But everybody I showed this pattern to, you start and you use your own imagination. Here's one I want to show you, kind of before and after. That's just a little circle I drew and then after I colored it. Colors make all the difference in the world. This is colored two different ways. It's the very same drawing. It gives that a different contrast, coloring rainbows with this. Now I'm going to show you another--some drawings here. All four of these drawings are the same drawing, just colored different. And I'm missing one somewhere. I had it here. I can shrink them down and put them into transparencies. Like this one, by itself, it doesn't look that great, but when it's made into a transparency and it's put under--then it makes for a really cool mirror. My daughter colored that one and my son colored these other ones in. I just showed you what different colors do to your drawing. And so, like I said, there's no end to what you can do with art. It's an eternal thing that goes on forever, just like music, people and chess."
