LANSING, MI — On Michigan Avenue in downtown Lansing, something magical happens every year centered around the Silver Bells in the City celebration. A local artist is using her studio space and talent to create one-of-a-kind ornaments for only a few to cherish.
Making touchable art is in artist Tiffany Marie Luke’s blood — her dad is the guy responsible for crafting a well-known figure.
“My dad was a moldmaker, you know, the Elias Brothers Big Boy? He made those. So there’s like however many around. Like 1,700,” Luke said.
Following in those very large footsteps, Luke has been making one-of-a-kind Christmas ornaments for the annual Silver Bells in the City celebration for 12 years.
She said it takes her about four days to complete one ornament. She also shared that part of her inspiration for this year’s ornament comes from the flyer for the Silver Bells event.
