2024 Artist Insights: Noble Nutcrackers
Terri Steiger
Nutcrackers are traditionally a sign of good luck, scaring bad spirits away. They’re also a sign that the Christmas season is upon us, so Keepsake Artist Terri Steiger’s Noble Nutcracker series is the perfect way to put your holiday spirit in high gear.
A visit to the Nutcracker Museum in Leavenworth, Washington gave Terri a lot of inspiration as she was creating the series. “While visiting the museum, I was blown away by all the different nutcrackers there are. So many different styles, themes and interpretations. I was drawn to some of the older wood-carved nutcrackers and their personalities. I really want all the nutcrackers in the series to be different from each other, so each tells a story of its own.”
Earl of Snowfall
Noble Nutcracker
6th in the series.
This year brings the 6th in the series, the Earl of Snowfall, and Terri is sharing his story. “I wanted to do something that would look wintry and snowy. I used tinsel as trim and a bottle brush tree to bring his vintage Santa look to life. He’s snowy from top to bottom, with a snowflake base to stand on and a hat topped by a snowflake that gives him a royal look.”
Terri is always on the lookout for inspiration as she continues this series. “The nutcracker series is always in the back of my mind. Sometimes I’m influenced by a particular style, color or pattern I’ve seen. I love looking at antique stores and flea markets for objects that might shape my designs. Of course, I’m always thinking about the ‘royal’ aspect of the series, and I even look at writing to inspire ideas.”
Wondering what’s next for the Noble Nutcrackers series? Terri is only willing to give a hint. “Let’s just say that next year’s design is near and dear to my HEART!”
For the perfect way to let your Christmas spirit shine, pick up this year’s Earl of Snowfall in October at Keepsake Ornament Debut.

2024 Artist Insights: Haunted Mansion
If you’ve ever visited the Haunted Mansion Attraction at Walt Disney World Resort, this is the ornament collection for you. With interactive light, music and dialogue, the tree topper and ornaments bring the Haunted Mansion to life for any foolish mortal who dares take the trip.
Iman Zadrozny
Keepsake Artist Iman Zadrozny has played a major role in creating this collection, having done initial concepts for most of the ornaments. This year, she focused on creating the Ghost Bride, Constance Hatchaway.
Iman had her own childhood memories to inspire her. She explains, “When I was a kid, I loved going on the Haunted Mansion ride! I still live in Florida but don’t get to Disney nearly as often as I’d like since I’m up in the northern part of the state. But whenever I’m able to go, I can’t wait to revisit it, that ride is such a classic.”
Constance Hatchaway
Disney The Haunted Mansion Collection
“When it came to creating the Constance Hatchaway ornament, there were some unique challenges we had to plan for, and it was definitely a group effort. For light and sound elements, I turned to engineer Samantha Heryford. She’s a dream to work with and she always has my back to make sure everything functions exactly as it should. And we had an amazing fabric artist we worked with to oversee the draping. For my part, I just made sure there was enough room to attach the fabric where it needed to go so we could be accurate to the character.”
“Being accurate to the character was a priority for Iman, so she did a lot of research. “There were so many creepy reference images that I stared at throughout this project! But there was nothing I couldn’t handle. Maybe it helps that I listen to mystery and crime podcasts while I work anyway!”
Whether you’ve visited the Haunted Mansion ride already or plan to in the future, there’s one thing Iman hopes you come away with. “It’s about nostalgia. There are so many people who told me that the coffin ornament (The Coffin in the Conservatory) I worked on reminded them of being on the ride as a kid. It’s the same feeling I have about these ornaments, and I’m really glad people are reliving those great memories. I hope Constance Hatchaway and the other new ornaments in the collection just add to your fun!”
You can pick up your Constance Hatchaway ornament at Ornament Premiere!
