HALLMARK KEEPSAKE ARTIST

Hallmark Keepsake Artist Emma Leturgez-Smith learned to love art as a child when her grandmother, a stellar painter, gave her art supplies as a gift. Emma left her hometown at 18 to go to art school, where she discovered a love of sculpting-leading her to Hallmark and the Keepsake Studio. Now an official studio member, she can’t wait to share her fun and festive style with ornament enthusiasts everywhere.

Stunning Swallow

Description

Vibrant periwinkle blue feathers and ruby red flower accents turn this sweet swallow into a stunning display of nature, another exquisitely crafted premium Christmas ornament to hang upon your holiday tree.

Artist: Edythe Kegrize
Released: 2017 (Ornament Debut)
Retail Price: $44.95 USA
Material(s): Metal
Dimensions:
SKU: QK1435
Produced in:
Production Date(s):

Edythe has made many ornithological ornaments as part of the Beauty of the Birds series . But until this ornament, she’d never made a swallow.

“I’m more familiar with the swallows from the coastline that swoop under the docks at the bay.” Edythe says. “But this is a barn swallow, and it had so much more color.” Flashes of blue and yellow suggested a bright, bold color palette. So, inspired by the kinds of costume jewelry her great-grandmother used to wear at Christmastime, Edythe crafted the sparrow in metal and added a host of ornate flourishes and crystals.

“That bling-ful aesthetic has made it into my work, because I think it makes a good ornament.” Edythe says. “I don’t wear much jewelry, but I must have been quite taken by her collection.”

The raised line work resembles a cloisonné metal treatment, often used in costume jewelry. She added the red flowers and crystals on the wings for pops of contrasting color and an additional level of detail. “I don’t really want to replicate nature because there’s really no improving on it.” Edythe says. “I try to bring more of a decorative, idealized quality to it.”

Edythe said she was inspired by heritage glass—jewelry, vases, perfume bottles, and trivets with delicate metal overlays. “I’ve always admired those,” Edythe says. “They have that very decorative quality that appeals to me. All that stuff is floating around in my head as I design.”
