A small and quiet reminder to yourself, or someone close to you, of revelations and discoveries found in moments when we are still and present. Perhaps a best wishes gift to a graduate about to start a new venture… or a hopeful piece for one facing a major decision. Or just a reminder to marvel at the miracle of butterflies in nature! Willow Tree is a reflection of someone we want to keep close, or a memory we want to touch. Hand-carved figures reveal their expression through body gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Each piece is designed to be open to interpretation from the viewer. “Willow Tree isn’t so much about the tangible piece. It represents an emotion, or it marks a memory.” —Susan Lordi. A gift of Willow Tree® communicates beyond words.
