Original art - framed and unframed option - What to do?

Hi all - I am posting original art on our ecommerce site. However, we want to offer a framed or unframed option. There is only one piece of art so adding a variant doesn't work since that puts the quantity available at 2 instead of 1. Any thoughts on how to get around that?

Thanks!

any luck? I am having the same issue

I had a similar problem when I wanted to offer tiny originals with or without an easel, with a choice of easels, at heartpainter.com. Decided to publish the easels as separate products, categorized by the size of tiny painting for which they were appropriate. I made it clear on the easel product pages that I'd only sell them with purchase of a painting.

Frames could be separate products in a similar way, on the same product page as the original paintings, categorized by the size painting they fit. This also gives you the option of different frame styles or colors. Be sure to tag as well as categorize, which will make it easier to use summary blocks and to link to paintings and frames from event or blog entries, painting gallery pages, etc.

Hi all,

Framing can be shown as a separate service on the product detail page, using a Summary Block in the Additional Info section.
