Hello and welcome to anyone who has arrived here, either by chance or intention.

This is the place where I usually write the stories behind the miniature steampunk characters and room boxes I create (or let the characters write their own!).  Hit the BLOG button to discover the stories.

As new characters or items appear on my 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 very bottom of the page are tiny link buttons to things like my Facebook page and our Etsy shop where a wide variety of our characters and accessories can 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 are for sale at The Crispin Emporium, Street, Somerset and Magpie Vintage, High St, Midsomer Norton near Bath.
