This is my entry for the July edition of the YouTube Cross Channel Challenge 2021. The theme was Shrink and this was set by Ruth over at Butch and Braces (
My inspiration for this came from the miniatures made by Wayne Bigfoot Woodcraft ( & and the fact that my daughter keeps losing her pieces for her Sylvanian Families. As I started this project, I had a Parisian café in mind and therefore I also looked for music to match a similar theme. Please let me know what you think in the comments.
