Debra Nielsen grew up riding and caring for horses, which inspired an early love for nature that has followed her throughout her life. It’s also what inspires her creativity. “I love the colors, textures, and compositions I find in the mountains, the woods, and the ocean. It all recharges me, and that energy always makes its way into my work.”

Baby’s First Christmas Debra was given a lot of freedom in designing this ornament. “The sky’s kind of the limit,” she said, “for you to dream up a concept that uses different materials in one ornament.” A few different factors helped her decide on an elephant. “It’s a classic,” she explained, “and it’s gender-neutral, which is important too.” She also took into account current trends in baby products, and in nursery decorating. “Elephants have been quite popular for the last several years,” she told me. Debra made full use of the chance to design a mixed-materials ornament. “I’m really excited about him because he’s in wood,” she said. “And he also has a lot of attachments. He has a blanket, and a pull string—a candy-striped pull string—with a wooden bead, and he has little fabric ears.” But she didn’t stop there. “He rolls on wheels…and they use foil stamping on his body,” she said. Overall, Debra is very happy with the way all the materials come together. “He’s turned out to be quite charming,” she said. .
