Ornament Spotlight: Lil’ American Trucks
For the Love of Trucks
Keepsake Artist Alex So’s passion for vintage trucks began with a college research project.
“The 1954 Ford Mercury M-100 was the first truck that caught my eye. Its design was unique, with a brand-specific grill that really stood out, and I fell in love with it. So for me, it’s exciting to create these trucks in miniature scale, while preserving as many details as possible to capture their beauty. This series is a celebration of everyone who loves their pickup trucks.”
So what’s coming next? Alex will only say,
“You can look forward to another exquisite, iconic miniature truck!”
