I caught up with craftzine blogger and Austin local Rachel Hobson at Maker Faire Austin 2008, where she gave a demo on making the Mini Monsters from CRAFT:06. These fun little creatures, invented by Moxie, are unique and full of the personality you give them. You can buy the Mini Monster Kit in the Maker Shed: http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CMX5
