I recently collected a handful (literally) of smooth pebbles from the Carrabassett River near Sugarloaf, and can't wait to work on them.
Then...my Mom and I went to Hermit Island (on the coast of Maine) and gathered a small bag of stones, ranging in size from earring-ish, through pendants and into door-knocker size.
THEN...my friend Priscilla brought me some stones gathered legally from Mt. St. Helen, as well as others from Katahdin and various hikes she has done.
So...I really need to get out to the studio and start drilling some things!
Photos coming soon :o)
