"Dear bpm,
I love museums and you're one of the best.
Regarding your Literature Request - do you have a copy of the late Ken Smith's "Book of Chinese Whispers" in your bpm collection? It's from Bloodaxe Books, 1987 and is still available on Amazon.co.uk
Maybe you'll have it already but in case you don't, there's a fine short story in it, about various aspects of pebble collecting, that you'll likely appreciate. It's called "The History of Stones".
Kind regards,
2poodles"
I like the cover on this book. There's loads of good stories in it.

The Maid & The Moon
Two fine examples of pebbles local to Brighton, the "Maid" and the "Moon" are now features in the new Top Shelf display at the museum. Contributed by Cesar & Javi, respectively.
The Brighton Pebble Museum @ Bookcycle
The museum has moved into it's new home, snugly forming part of the shelves of Bookcycle Brighton.
I have to do a bit of reordering and changing things to freshen it all up a bit and make it nicer.
The new opening hours are: when I'm around.
Pebble Coast-ers
I was given this charming set of four pebble-shaped drinks coasters yesterday. Originally bought from Woolworths, these ceramic mats are heat resistant to 100ºC, are stain resistant and easy to clean. I will have to make four cups of tea in order to make best use of them. Or have three guests. Or four guests if I refrain from tea.

This is the first experimental pebble font I've made. You can download it here.
I'm going to try to refine it soon! Click image for large size.

An unbelievable find! My ongoing quest for pebble alphabets has revealed this one by Tom Balm.

Amazing!

Pebble ABC
A cursory search online for pebble alphabet yielded some interesting results. It reminds me - I've got some more of this somewhere.
This one is one of the finest examples I've seen by Clotilde Olyff. From here, which has some other great alphabet ideas.
