Softly washed colors Carved and metal accents Representative icons of nature mark Susan's work Willow Tree is an intimate line of figurative sculptures representing sentiments of love, closeness, healing, courage, hope and all the emotions encountered in life. Artist Susan Lordi hand-carves each original Willow Tree design, using her family and friends as models. The figurines are all cast in resin from these original carvings, then individually painted by hand with lead-free paint. Simplicity of form and the absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. By stripping down the essence of emotion to pure form, Lordi opens the interpretation of each piece to the giver and receiver. Willow Tree captures tender moments between mother and child at all stages of development. Reminding us of rare, quiet, tender moments with toddlers or the noisy push and pull of siblings growing up. The warmth and cosiness of a sleeping childthese quiet memories exist in anyone who has ever rocked a child in their arms parents, grandparents, caregivers, aunts, godparents. This is a gift to celebrate new babies, new families and all the loving relationships that develop as a result! Designed in America, by artist Susan Lordi. Made from stone resin, with a hand-carved, wooden appearance. Beautifully presented in a Willow Tree gift box.
