Jenny Harada is a lifelong maker of things she comes from a family of artists and makers. Her earliest memory of the love of creation is learning to sew from her mother at the age of seven. Even then, Jenny always wanted to devise her own techniques for doing things. Her husband, Mark, is a fantastic tattoo artist. They have two beautiful young children and a stinky doggy, and they all live together in New Jersey in a place where the walls are becoming more and more colorful the longer they live there. Jenny attended the Fashion Institute of Technology to study toy design and graphic design, and she has appeared on television demonstrating her crafts. Her work has been displayed in many galleries across the world. She has contributed craft projects to numerous publications, and this is her first full-length book.
I would like to thank my family for sticking with me through the long adventure of writing this book. All the encouragement and babysitting help will never be forgotten. To my loving husband, Mark, and to Oma, Opa and Bubbie: Thank you so much for wading through the ocean of furry, fuzzy scraps we had to cross for me to make this book. Jennifer, I could not have finished without your support and help. Thank you for being there, cheering me on and lending your scissor hands. Margot, thank you kindly for throwing my name into the wind at the precise trajectory. To Liz, my stoic editor your patience is epic and thoroughly appreciated, and you have been an ever-helpful guide and a fine scout.
This book is dedicated to my two very own little monsters, Lukas and Naomi. You are the best monsters I have ever made. You fill me with joy and inspire me to do my best to create fun in our lives every day. It is because you came into my life that I have been able to create fully from my own hear t and express my vision. I love you.
Do you see faces in everything faces with big googly eyes and sharp teeth? I do. I see them everywhere. They are all around me. With every breath I take, monsters jump out at me. As I fall asleep, they emerge from the shadows of my room and then seep into my mind as I teeter on the edge of dreamland. Mostly, they are harmless; but, occasionally, they are actually scary. They are colorful and silly and lovable and weird.
One of my favorite things to do is bring these monsters to life so other people can experience them, too. I love playing around with different materials and tools, discovering techniques, and then combining those materials and techniques. That is how the monsters in this book have come to be. The creatures most dear to my heart are made from fun fur and stuffed with fluffy fluff, but I strongly believe in monster equality, so get ready to play with hard, soft, big and small monster projects.
As much fun as it is to make a monster, the very best thing to do with a monster once it is complete is to give it away to someone you love. Especially if it's huggable. Then you have accomplished three great things in one roaring swoop:
You've made someone happy because they know you were thinking of them.
You've shared your inspiration, and that ought to give you pride enough for a good howl.
You've made room to make more monsters, both in your imagination and on your craft table.
Now, if you want to keep your fabulous new scary (or not-so-scary) friend, that's OK by me, but please watch your toes. There's a very good chance it might be a nibbler.
As it turns out, monsters keep very meticulous records when it comes to their ancestry. How else would they know that fourth-cousin-twice-removed Hildegarde Barumph was the one who introduced the huge mutated incisors into the gene pool, or that it was Great Uncle Barnabus Facklecack who was the first to have those famous Facklecack freckles? Monsters are very serious about keeping track of mutations and dominant traits because by keeping a proper family tree, they can predict which monster babies will have the most awesome combinations of scary features. The Colossal Gigantohuggah has kept particularly interesting notes on his family, which has helped me build a history of monsters.
