Willow Tree® is an intimate line of figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect and inspire. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each figure from her studio in Kansas City Missouri. Pieces are cast from her original carvings, and individually painted by hand. Expression is revealed through gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. The simplicity of form and absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan's hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.
What would be the best way to paint these figures? The figures are all fairly white. Balthazar, for example, was from Africa and is the wise man who brought myrrh. He should have a darker complexion.
yeah i have gotten all of mine around the world from Iran to Malaysia, Turkey, Canada, and us and I love them. thank you for these wonderful sculptures
I love your pieces and I have my own mini collection as well as I have given some away as gifts. I look forward to having this piece too as an African American I appreciate the care, time and complete thoughtfulness you put into this lovely piece .
I would like to buy a family grouping from Willow Tree but not for man and woman. My daughter and her mate are gay with twins boy and girl. They've been together for 20 years with teenage twins. I wish I could find something like my own family. Dottie B
What kind of clay is this? I’d like to make some of my own, specifically of my pets to add to the family figures I have. The pets that are available don’t resemble any of my pets
