Animated Picture Frame, Motorized Edition
myminifactory
Well not exactly a "picture frame", but... Icons march around the frame calling attention to the picture of your choice. Video of the prototype is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXC7k8weS-M&list=UUv_zm49u-RjnCJVwhUO-ecA. When it comes to the icons, you can design and print your own, or use light weight material such as heavy construction paper, balsa wood, stickers on cardboard, etc., and glue them to the pins. For the prototype, my wife wanted "Lora & Greg & Lora", so I printed the letters in PLA and glued each to the pins using thick cyanoacrylate and accelerator (hot glue should also work, just not too hot). Designed using Sketchup 8 and printed in PLA on a Makerbot Replicator 2 using Makerware 2.3.3.42.
