Donna-Marie-Strachan on Squidoo

I'm a Scottish jewellery designer, currently based in London. I've been making jewellery on and off since secondary school.

It
suits me because I enjoy intricate work, and there's a wonderfully
organic feeling squishing polymer clay and gemstones around until they
transforms into something beautiful. When it works of course!

Then you can walk out wearing your latest mini treasure. That's the best bit...

I'm a Scottish jewellery designer, currently based in London. I've been making jewellery on and off since secondary school.

It
suits me because I enjoy intricate work, and there's a wonderfully
organic feeling squishing polymer clay and gemstones around until they

Then you can walk out wearing your latest mini treasure. That's the best bit - it's portable!

I sell at craft fairs, market stalls and recently opened an Etsy store.

My work is heavily influenced by my love of nature.

I'm also fascinated by ancient history, and my work sometimes reflects what I'm reading at the time.

I also work with textiles and hand spun yarn, thanks to my generous flock of sheep :)

But that's the subject of a future lens methinks!
