Anne Marie Price taught herself mosaic art, creating intricate designs and portraits with cut pieces of stained glass.
Recently, she began balancing her usual large projects with smaller ones: She turns her mosaic touch to smooth stones that she picks up on beachcombing and mountain hikes near her Huntington Beach, California, home.
“I’ve always been a collector of things, of small objects, of rocks,” says Price. Now, “I’ve found a use for all those little things I’ve picked up.”
