CMonsterYK – Creativity Monsters, Paper Moons & Handmade Wonder

CMonsterYK is the shared creation of Kris and Fatima — married high-school sweethearts who believe every artist and craftsperson carries a monster inside, one with an undying urge to make. Their work is devoted to helping people find that monster by honoring the whimsy and childlike wonder still present in everyday life.

Together they produce paper goods illustrated by their own hands: greeting cards and prints, handmade paper, and hand-bound journals crafted from reclaimed and recycled materials. Alongside these are their signature Polymer Clay Creativity Monsters and Trinket Bags, plus the interactive Make Your Own Paper Moons. Each piece carries a quiet invitation to play, to create, and to keep a little wildness close.

At the Catskills Halloween Festival, CMonsterYK arrives with the items they are most excited to share — the Creativity Monsters and Paper Moons — ready to add a touch of handmade magic to the October market. Their table is a place where the urge to create meets the season’s darker, more playful atmosphere, offering visitors something both gentle and delightfully strange.
