The Beauty of Birds Clock Instructional Page

Sights & Sounds of Nature

This new kind of clock brings everything you love about the outdoors into your home.

For this birdhouse clock based on her Beauty of Birds Christmas tree ornament series, Keepsake Artist Edythe Kegrize wanted to bring the outdoors in.

“In addition to classical music being played, the birds next to the clock face tweet and move their tails,” Edythe explains. “The music will grab your attention, but it’s meant to be a softer kind of ambiance that captures the prettiness of the series.”

“We had to ask ourselves, ‘Where would her series ornaments live if they had a nice, cohesive birdhouse that also happens to be a clock?'” Keepsake Artist Robert Hurlburt says.

With flickering lights that project on the branches and sprigs adorning its center, the clock is meant to evoke what you might see in a woodland environment, with accompanying classical music excerpts from composers Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes and Georges Bizet.

“When we were designing the lights, we were thinking about the qualities of the sky during different times of day–like sunrise or sunset,” Edythe says. “Or how the light looks on a walk through a treed canopy and how the shadows kind of flicker on the ground.”

With its unique design, classical music and gentle bird chirps, this clock is a year-round reminder of the simple pleasures of nature.

Edythe Kegrize Brings Nature to Life

“My whole goal with The Beauty of Birds Clock was to make a quiet statement but something that would still draw you in to explore what’s going on with the subtle reveal of the birds as they slowly rotate. It’s a calm and quiet kind of magic.”

NOTE: Initially, the Beauty of Birds Clock was going to be carried over into 2021. Later it was decided not to carry it over but to instead mark it down, with the rest of the 2020 Keepsake Ornament line, after the season.
