The Crystal Winged Dragon, a nearly two-foot-long artistic plaything with wings that move up and down and a spine that bends as though to imitate a dragon’s sinewy moves, is the latest creation rolling off a large 3D printer at New Mischief Creations. The family-owned shop in Benson, MN, is readying their delightful turtles, slugs, stackable star shapes, and dragons to bring to the Vintage & Artisan Market. “I have always loved nuts and bolts and making things,” says Danita Newman, a passion she now shares with teenage daughters Jade and Lali.

Between the three masterminds, and in collaboration with 3D designer Cinderwing3D, new pieces are constantly taking shape on their five 3D printers before finding new homes with happy children, toy collectors, and printing enthusiasts enamored by their designs. Each piece is fully articulated, with parts that move and bright, playful colors. At the market, Newman will hand paint pieces as requested and encourage children to paint their new creations with brushes and paints provided. Newman can also be found online, using her Instagram handle @new_mischief_creations and on her Facebook page (New Mischief Creations)
