Vixen Goes Viral

A TRACY LARSEN COLLABORATION
WITH MATT KESLER

HALLMARK KEEPSAKE ARTIST

One of Keepsake Artist Tracy Larsen’s favorite memories from childhood remains the family’s annual outing to select a fresh Christmas tree for their home, a tradition he continues today with his own kids. “We do have some artificial trees just because we have enough ornaments to cover two or three…or four,” he says when speaking of their vast collection.

HALLMARK KEEPSAKE ARTIST

One of Matt Kesler’s earliest memories is of his father teaching him how to draw a dinosaur. Once Matt realized that he could do it, he began drawing all the time. Today, with over 30 years’ experience as an illustrator, Matt is excited to apply his artistry to ornaments. “Keepsake Ornaments bring emotion and joy to life,” he says, “and I hope that the things I create will help people feel positive and good about the holidays and each other.“

She is especially drawn to folk art, bright colors, and whimsical styles.

Otterly Adorable

Gregor Benedetti

Gregor Benedetti draws inspiration from puppet characters he watched on TV growing up. “I credit that early exposure—and the other experiences I’ve had as an artist since—with helping me become a master of many styles,” he explains. His distinctive viewpoint results in vibrant ornaments that surprise, delight, and help create special holiday memories.

The Legend of Mary’s Blue Robe

The road was filled with travelers when Mary
and Joseph set out for Bethlehem to be taxed.
They went more slowly than most, since
Mary was heavy with child.
The innkeeper’s wife felt sorry for the dusty,
tired couple, but the best she could offer them
was a night in the stable.  “we have no more blankets,
but you may have the one from my bed—
and I’ll wash your robe for you,”
she told the young mother-to-be.
Sometime in the night, the innkeeper’s wife woke.
Hearing voices outside she made her way to the stable.
To her surprise, the baby had already come
and was sleeping in the manger,
surrounded by shepherds who knelt watching him.
“I’ll fetch your robe,” she told Mary.
“for I hung it near the fire to dry.”
But the rough, homespun garment
was nowhere to be found.  In its place hung
a robe of such a rich blue and exquisite softness
it appeared to be cut from the heavens!
When the innkeepers’s wife brought Mary
the robe, everyone marveled, “Truly, it has been
a night for miracles,” one of the shepherds said.
And as they all gazed once more
at the greatest Miracle of all,
the carpenter’s wife was dressed
to receive not only shepherds but kings.
