The end of Pebble Art Pictures

I have LOVED creating Pebble Pictures over the years, and it has given me great pleasure in designing one off pieces that have gone on to be treasured keepsakes. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end.



My business first started out creating pebble art pictures back in 2017. I have created over 1500 pebble pictures each reflecting a wide range of themes, meanings, and deep sentimental value. There have even been some stories shared with me that have been incredibly moving: the picture as a symbol of love after the loss of a loved one weeks after their wedding, emotional reunions between siblings separated at birth and tributes created in memory of infant loss. Alongside these heartfelt moments, there have been many joyful creations too: a large collection of identical pieces sent to Italy as wedding favours, Wedding gifts and celebrations all made especially for their recipients. Some, truly one off creations.




I have been incredibly fortunate to have so many returning customers, many of whom have shared how impressed they were with the quality of the frames, the designs, and the level of customer service and communication throughout the process. It has truly been a very rewarding eight years.


You may be wondering why I am giving up something that has served me so well, and has brought me so much joy. Well, it ultimately comes down to the cost of these little works of art. There are many different elements making up one picture, from the frames, the mounts, inks, mount tape, packaging, postage boxes to the glue, labels, card & postage costs and third party selling fees. Over the past four years, the cost of every single component has increased dramatically. I have been increasingly reluctant to raise prices and as a result, the pictures have gradually become unprofitable and no longer sustainable. It's a shame, but the reality is that for my business to survive, I needed to shift my focus elsewhere: Wedding Stationery. I've been slowing phasing it in, dipping my toe in the water... and now I'm ready to take plunge! "I DO!"


So, it's a heartfelt farewell to the Pebble Pictures, and an excited 'Hello' to Wedding Stationery.




I do still have a limited amount of pebble picture stock available, and these pieces will continue to be sold through my website and Amazon until the remaining stock has gone.


This feels like a sign to move forward. To evolve, to grow, and to pour that same love and passion into creating something meaningful and unique for a different kind of client. I’m so excited for what’s ahead, and I truly can’t wait for this next chapter to begin.
