Hallmark Ornaments by Julie Forsyth

For Julie Forsyth, the ornament format became a place where recognizable characters, seasonal traditions, and careful craftsmanship could meet. A total of 175 distinct designs is currently documented between 1985 through 2018. Series such as Barbie, Gone With the Wind, Disney, Madame Alexander, and Wizard of Oz gave Julie Forsyth opportunities to revisit a theme over time while still making each annual ornament feel individual.

Barbie provides one of the clearest ways to follow the work; Gone With the Wind highlights a different side of the portfolio; Ornaments such as 1985 Ceramic Bunny, Merry Miniatures, 2005 Family Ties, and 2010 Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Seuss mark useful points in the chronology. The examples below were chosen across the chronology so visitors can explore the development and breadth of that work.
