2024 Artist Insights: The Beauty of Birds
Emma Leturgez-Smith
This year, the beloved Beauty of Birds series turns 20! To mark this special occasion, Keepsake Artist Emma Leturgez-Smith says she decided to spread her wings and create an ornament—and limited-quantity companion!—that are extra vibrant.
“I was inspired by the color green,” Emma says. “Looking at all the past birds in the line, I felt like a deep green was missing. The Violet-Green Swallow also let me work with a really beautiful purple—another uncommon color in birds.”

20th in the series.
Emma inherited this series in 2022 after Keepsake Artist Edythe Kegrize retired. Edythe had finished designs up until 2022, so this new ornament is just the second one Emma has worked on from start to finish. After brainstorming for the initial design, Emma went straight to the computer to start sculpting. But she didn’t just wing it—she tested lots of different colors and poses along the way before landing on the final look.
“My favorite detail is how the series ornament fits alongside its limited-quantity counterpart! The colors, the poses—they fit together so well and I’m eager for people to see them as a pair,” Emma says.
We don’t want to ruffle any feathers but, sadly, you’ll have to wait until Ornament Premiere in July to pick up the Lady Violet-Green Swallow companion ornament. Lucky for us, Beauty of Birds #20 will be available starting in March at your nearest store or on Hallmark.com!

2024 Artist Insights: Nellco
This year, we’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of Nellco Appliances! This fan-favorite “unofficial” series began in 2004 with Christmas Cookies, a retro oven featuring lights, and an electric air freshener.
Nello Williams
From record players to laundry machines, Keepsake Artist Nello Williams has put out a new magic appliance ornament almost every year since. This year’s ornament, the Nellco Claw Machine, was inspired by Nello’s teenage years.
“I visited arcades now and then—this was pre-video games. And though I spent most of my time on the pinball machines, the claw machines were always there, too,” he says. “It didn’t take me very long to figure out that I was bad at them—not that I was very good at pinball either! But they are very interesting machines.”
Nello says after he settled on the claw machine idea he began researching and finding toy tabletop claw machines to reference for the design.
“My first concept had the claw picking up Christmas bulbs, but we liked the idea of referencing the Magic Snowballs that Hallmark produced several years ago,” he says.
Then, his team worked together to bring the machine to life. Nello says it took several attempts of trial and error to get it just right.
“When the front button is pressed, the claw rises up with a magic snowball in its clutches, moves toward the receptacle, and drops it in. The chute lights up, revealing the prize, and music plays,” he says. “I wanted to have the claw fumble the snowball halfway and include the sound of someone swearing, but for some reason, the team didn’t go for it.”
Lucky for us, we don’t have to beat the game to win the prize! You can take home your very own Nellco Claw Machine at Ornament Premiere in July.
