12 irresistible, small pictures, full of fantasy to be made using pebbles

During a walk in a park, along the beach or in a garden, it can happen that we spot some remarkable pebbles and small stones of all kinds: you have to pay attention to look carefully, but you can find some real gems. And if you have no way of finding pebbles and stones like this, you can also buy them online.

These can then be used to create a myriad of creative crafts objects, including simple, but incredibly evocative, even poetic pictures. Take a look at the examples given below:

Pebbles can be used to create stylized and very romantic scenes, like this adorable picture depicting a couple.

Four friends, or maybe four sisters, sitting with their backs to us on a bench: it's incredible how pebbles can become so evocative.

You can fill your picture with descriptive details by using other natural materials, such as sticks, twigs, moss and leaves.

Or you can use a few simple marker strokes, like those used to create these flowers in a meadow.

A flock of birds perched on a branch: a truly delightful, minimalist picture.

Driftwood, black and white pebbles, and a few well-combined elements give life to a picture of seagulls at the seaside.

These pebble pictures also work on unframed canvases, where their three-dimensionality is accentuated even more.

You can see the pebbles as pieces of a mosaic, and use them to create beautiful, more abstract designs.

What better than pieces of rock to illustrate a climber ascending a mountain?

Or maybe a picture of a person walking their dog.

A truly irresistible combination, to give color to these pictures, is to add pieces of beached glass.

There are many ways to use these pieces of art: you could also make greeting cards using thick paper!
