Let your monsters make your monster pendant

We love the Metal for Monsters pieces at Blend Creations so much, we were delighted to hear that they've expanded the line: Now you can design your own monsters, or--better yet--let the kids design one for you and Blend will laser-etch their design right on the pendant including a signature on the back.
