I have none of the skill or patience needed to paint on pebbles, or indeed canvas of any size but I have signed up for mosaic classes and that is really restful despite being slow.
Now that I have to run workshops at the patch and needlework club I have been busy making a new handbag which combines 3 workshop projects - polka dot smocking, strip piecing to get triangles and hexagons and a simple bag. It has no internal pockets as another workshop will be a bag organiser with lots of pockets so you just move all your contents in one go to another bag when you change.
The polka dot smocking and strip piecing are inspired by tutorials form Theresa Down Under on Youtube. The bag organiser is my own made to measure design and just slots inside. It also fits a summer bag I bought and which had no internal pockets so I was always fossicking down the bottom to find what I wanted. Not anymore!
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Thanks @chicky. I have yet to use it as I need it to be pristine - and empty - for the workshop in October but I expect it will be copious enough for my needs.

I love the material used.
