A warm welcome to Tiny Scenic...
An imaginary picture-postcard town of small-batch jewellery, prints and decor by artist Jo Strange.
what to expect
Beautifully made. Charming. Pleasingly offbeat.
Tiny Scenic is for...
...the 'noticers'
Those who appreciate details others miss; who stop the car just to photograph some faded vintage signage or a quirky building.
...the scenic route takers
Those who see the value in adopting a tourist's mindset, whether they're exploring somewhere new or simply getting the bus home.
...the idealists
Those who long to return to an era when our homes and civic spaces were designed with joy and aesthetics as much as cost in mind.
about the founder
Hello! I'm Jo, an artist based in Winchester, UK.
Following a career in magazine publishing, I decided to return to my art background, and launched my first house necklace on Etsy in 2016.
Over the years my imaginary town has grown to include wearable diners, cabins, coffee shops, roadside signs and lots more houses in miniature.
My inspirations include novelty midcentury architecture, model villages, the small-town charm of David Lynch's Twin Peaks and the US road-trips taken with my husband... give me a scenic highway, faded roadside signs and huge skies and I'm in heaven!
Tiny Scenic is my way of saying, 'this is how I'd like the world to look'.
Fun moments

Handcrafted for beauty and longevity
- All Tiny Scenic jewellery and decor is crafted in small batches from our home - by me, and sometimes my husband Andrew too.
- We use a mix of quality materials including woods, Perspex, offcuts of Formica and sterling silver – using our laser cutter and a selection of miniature power tools and model-making techniques to bring everything together.
- We take pride in the small details and finishing each piece beautifully is really important to us.
- Lots of our customers have collected (and gifted) many pieces over the years and that really is the best feeling.

Unique to you
Alongside developing our core range, I enjoy creating one-of-a-kinds and taking on commissions for bespoke jewellery, miniatures and wall-based art.
