Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth — a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement.
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these people come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.

I know this may be more CRAFT related but I thought I would share some more creepy creatures from Maker Faire 2008 in Austin, TX. The process for making these little monsters involves stabbing wool…sounds like fun to me. Also I love her response to my last question.
