Willow Tree Figurines come from the artful mind of artist Susan Lordi who hand carves each and every Willow Tree Figurine by hand, these had carved pieces are then molded for commercial duplication. The essence of Willow Tree is to capture a moment and let it last forever. Using the people around her to inspire each artful decoration, Susan has managed to make a name for herself, her art, and the word is spreading quickly the world over. The Willow Tree Figurine collection features soft washed colors on carved wood and metal accents combining to give a natural feel and inspiration that is spiritual.

Since Willow Tree Figurines began in 2000, the line has increased substantially and has grown an endearing group of followers. Originally designed as gifts for friends, family, teachers and those we hold dear, the Willow Tree line of figurines offers something for everybody. An intimate, personal array of sculptures that hold true to the sentiments that brought about their birth. Each individual figurine is designed to capture the purest of gestures, express love, healing, deep emotions and of course simple beauty.

Willow Tree was chosen as the name as it symbolizes all that is gestural and beckoning to each of us that hopefully represents a life well lived. The added objects or animals are meant as metaphors for virtues and qualities found in humanity. Many find Susans Willow Tree Figurines to bring feelings of peace and serenity and I too feel this holds through the entire collection.

Among the more popular products from the Willow Tree Figurine collection are the Willow Tree Nativity sets, Willow Tree Angles and the Willow Tree Musicals, my personal favorite. Willow Tree Figurines make great gifts that will be displayed and remembered for a lifetime.

The Willow Tree Figurines Nativity or Christmas story set can be seen in church sanctuaries and homes the world over. Beautifully capturing the moment in time and encompassing the soft passion that calls out to many of us on a daily basis. The gestures of Mary and Joseph still ring out in our modern world of confusion and chaos and ring through with powerful feelings of protection and love that just can not be matched. No matter which Willow Tree Figurine you choose, be it the Willow Tree Boxes, the Willow Tree Candle Holders or even the Journal, we hope it captures your heart and leaves you feeling simply content.
