Keepsake Convention Exclusives

When it comes to creating convention exclusives, the Keepsake artists always put the fans first.

For this year’s convention-exclusive ornaments, the Keepsake Studio took different approaches to their pieces.

For Harry Potter fans, Keepsake Artist Kristina Gaughran went with an unexpected, yet popular, choice.  “[Professor Boggart Snape] has gotten a lot of love from the cosplay community, so to give fans an ornament this unique is exciting.” says Kris.

For the National Barbie Doll Convention, Keepsake Artist Debra Nielsen was guided by the convention itself.  “The theme for 2020 is ‘Paradise Found’,” Debra says.  “I am given some top-secret artwork relative to the theme and need to create a new shoe design based on it.  In this case, the Barbie with the ocean waves hair artwork was provided and I added the hibiscus floral pattern to complement it.”

Those are just some small insights into the process of creating convention exclusives.  Get a close look at our convention offerings below.
