"On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Debbie and this is Woody and we're here to tell you about personalizing your picture frames. You can make something very unique by just adding simple things. On this watercolor here, what you have is a real ancient pottery shard and so we have a little shadow box around the pottery shard. And we've added some simple little cuts. A little lizard that might have been running up that building, and a few little arrows. And what it does is it makes it unique. It makes it special to this picture. Then we have this one that's painted by the same artist. This time we've used a little seed pot. And this is hand painted in New Mexico. It's an Akema seed pot and we've given it to this local artist. And so what she's done is she painted her painting to match this little tiny seed pot. And then we've added a few little designs. You don't have to do a lot, just a few. And what this does is it makes a unique piece that no one else has."
