I love monsters and all things strange. I figure if you carry the scary and unknown with you then what bad things could happen. Its like fireworks, the banging is scary until you see the bright and wonderful colors. That is what Angela's little guys are like.
Unique Monjoo keyring
So colorful and cute that you forget all the little devilish thing they did, scaring you by hiding under the bed and in the wardrobe. This little guy is safely kept on my Key-ring now, no way of escaping. Never will he scare me again. 
Angela is a lovely lady to talk to and an excellent artist. She creates these little guys to get rid of stress and I can see how it works. By the end of making her little Monjoo family she must have a smile on her face. If I was her I would also be proud of how well made they are. This monster has been bouncing around me bag for weeks and not a bit has fallen off, believe me that's a rough ride.
I would love to have a collection of these. The two I have my eye on at the minuet are these:

I would also really love to see Angela create some of these guys as pendants, or bigger ones as figures around the house. She clearly has a great imagination and plenty of inspiration. If you look at her sold items, once you click on the link below you will see that she just keeps pulling these little monsters out of nowhere.

Ok so anyone who knows me knows I love Doctor Who and so does my Boyfriend Mark. When I saw these I had to have them.
Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Inspired  Large Glass Magnets on Recycled Upcycled Metal Bezels
They were £9.50 which is great value considering how well they are made. Not flimsy like allot of others and they have a real hand made feel. Not that I have anything against button magnets, my fridge is covered with them, but my new Doctor who magnets just feel stronger and look a little better, mainly because of the glossy bubble covering. Part of me is jealous and wants to know how she makes them so that I can make them but that would take away the magic that they hold.

The owner is lovely too which is always important when buying handmade.

I know exactly what I want from her next time too.
Choker with Sugar Skulls Pendant
It is so subtly Gothic which is key in creating any alternative image for yourself. Look forward to seeing more from her hear in future, unless you go and buy my necklace before I get to it
