I have been making Mon-stors & monster toys since September, 2009. As a mother, I am passionate about preserving the environment & creating sustainable toys. That is why each monster toy I make is totally eco-friendly, handmade in Asheville, NC with textile discards (robes, blankets, curtains, sheets, pajamas & other fabrics otherwise headed to landfills). Each Mon-stor is made from textile discards either collected through donations or scavenged from salvage centers. I use a closed loop recycling system, meaning even the tiniest bits of fabric get used so there is absolutely no landfill waste from the production of Lu & Ed products!
