Hello and welcome to the strange and unique world of Steampunk-Shrunk.

COVID-19 UPDATE:  The Etsy shop is open for sales of small items (those that will fit through a postbox) within the UK and for digital items worldwide.   This is because we are in national lockdown Covid-19 restrictions, with instructions to stay at home where possible, so I’m avoiding visits to the post office.

This is the place where we open the doors of our crumbling mansion just a crack, to allow visitors to read the stories behind the miniature steampunk characters and room boxes created here.  Hit the BLOG button above to discover the stories.

As new characters or items appear on our craft stall or in the Etsy shop you’ll find more about them here.

If you press the ‘follow’ button on this page, you’ll get an email when a new article is posted.

At the top of the page (just under the banner) are tiny link buttons to things like Jan’s Facebook page and our Etsy shop where a wide variety of our characters and accessories can usually be found (and shipped worldwide).

I hope you enjoy your visit to the splendid world of Steampunk – Shrunk!

Items from Steampunk-Shrunk’s unique collection will be for sale once again at Magpie Vintage, High St, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2DA when lockdown ends.
