Featured Designer : Jane Van Cleef of Hazel Village

My name is Jane, not Hazel, and I live in a little house in Brooklyn, NY.  In the garret of said house I make these animals.  I stitch them up on an old industrial sewing machine, then stuff them and do the details by hand.  I make their clothes out of the best scraps I have saved.  Then I write little stories for them.  This woodland animal cottage industry is easily my favorite activity.

Fallon’s Bio

I am a stay at home mother living in Sunnyside, New York.

I have a Bachelor Degree in Advertising, and have worked in the television advertising industry for over 15 years. My new found love is nothing new but a true love and passion that have taken a back seat to a corporate career until recently.

I enjoy painting and calligraphy, with the advantage of knowing the Chinese language, and the love to paint flowers, plants, birds and animals in a calligraphy form, my passion is to combine Chinese calligraphy and art in one small surface, in the form of greeting cards, children clothing and small frames.

I offer custom/personalized greeting cards, translation of names and sayings and good luck/Feng Shui idioms from English to Chinese with light painting and create a one of a kind personalized gift.

I hope you will enjoy my work and I am planning on opening an Etsy account and creating a website very soon!
