Hi! My name is Vanessa Orantes. I make recycled-sweater monsters, called Hofmonsters. I have always made things with my hands. I love making and collecting jewelry, I crochet, and sew. I love material, especially natural fibers. Hofmonsters came out of this love.
I started collecting natural fiber sweaters, going to all my local antique stores to find vintage and antique buttons, and I started sewing!
I want kids and adults to have toys that they will remember (and hopefully keep) their whole lives. Toys that are as unique and individual as they are. All Hofmonsters are made of 100% natural fiber recycled sweaters. They are stuffed with Eco fiber fill (made from corn!). All buttons are either vintage or antique .

“Drive a nail home and clinch it so faithfully that you can wake up in the night and think of your work with satisfaction,- a work at which you would not be ashamed to invoke the Muse”
-Henry David Thoreau
In our case, it would be the needle or other fiber tool. Drive it home! And, we all thank you for your words, left here to these good folks. Invoke your Muse!
