Susan Lordi hand carves every Willow Tree original. This piece is cast from the original carving and hand painted expertly. These simple, elegant figurines portray emotion through body language and gesture alone. This piece for example shows a young girl kneeling looking playfully to the side as if she's cheekily played a joke on her mother and is giggling about it. Different people see different expressions on her however, but I think we all agree that it's a beautiful figurine.
