Pebbles and Pods - art and craft items celebrating the natural environment of Jervis Bay in all its little details. Delicate, petite watercolour paintings of local bird species, native plant details, shells, feathers and pebbles, reflect a love of nature, and encourage observation of the beautiful natural world around us. Alongside are crafted items like hand-cut paper cards and artworks, bird-themed mobiles, and sun-catchers, elegant and handmade. Pebbles and Pods is the project of Graphic Designer/Illustrator Lisa Friebel who lives in the Shoalhaven with her partner - an environmentalist and keen bird-watcher, and her two children. Her goal is to create relevant, reasonably priced, locally-made gifts that celebrates the true beauty and delicate nature of the environment and allows you to bring it indoors, to the city, or wherever you go. Lisa's artwork is available at the Shoalhaven Visitors Centre, or through her web site
