WELCOME TO NATURE BY DESIGN ART

 

Where nature meets the unexpected.

What looks like an ordinary stone… isn’t.

Timothy and Lauren Gregory transform natural stones, quartz, and coral into

extraordinary one-of-a-kind works of art. Each piece is carefully hollowed and finished with a zipper, creating the unexpected illusion of a stone that opens to reveal a hidden world inside. Tucked within are surprising treasures—seashells, sea glass, coins, wine corks, marbles, tumbled stones, casino chips, and more. But there’s something else that makes these pieces so intriguing. Your eyes know you’re looking at a stone, yet the moment you see the zipper, your mind starts to question what it’s seeing. The stone suddenly appears soft and almost pliable—as if nature itself has been transformed into a little clutch or handbag. Every piece is different. Every piece has a story. And once you see what’s hiding inside,

you’ll never look at a stone quite the same way.
