Willow Tree Figures Are A Great Way To Celebrate Life’s Memorable Events
Willow tree figures have received growing attention in the past decade since they were first developed by artist Susan Lordi back in 2000. The incredibly expressive designs and unique visual aura surrounding these figures, as well as their relatively limited availability, has made them increasingly popular as the years have gone by.
There are many reasons why these willow tree figures have grown so much in popularity. Naturally, the scenes depicted are ones which strike a chord with viewers worldwide, and showcase the moments in each of our lives which we’ll never forget. Be it the birth of a child, a couple tenderly holding each other, or a grandmother holding her child’s own child, the scenes touch us deeply.

These scenes though are depicted on similar figures of all makes and designs though, so what is it in particular about these pieces that make them so poignant? Personally, I think the lack of facial features added to the figures is precisely what makes them so appealing, and was a brilliant idea by the designer. Through this simple decision, owners of these pieces are more easily able to identify with the piece and picture themselves as being in the piece, rather than looking at pre-defined figures.
The visual quality of the willow tree figures is not their only selling point though. Their incredible durability is also of particular note. The fact that they’re all designed by the same artist also lends them a particularly strong feeling of added significance and value. These aren’t items churned off on a factory line, but rather, are lovingly made by the artist who created them. In fact, despite the popular demand, Susan Lordi has refused to expand her business, preferring instead to keep that deep connection and level of trust she has with her customers. When it’s Christmas under consideration, there are additional figures of interest in her collection beyond just ones that can be passed on as gifts. She designed a stunning nativity scene, sold together as a set, as well as certain individual pieces being sold separately. Because each nativity set is individually designed by Susan, different sets sometimes come with different amounts of pieces, making each set unique, and a veritable collector’s item.

As well, she has designed several Christmas tree ornaments which retain her same melancholy style. Images include angels, mothers with their children, and a family embracing, among others. These ornaments maintain the same style as her figures, being relatively thin and with featureless facial designs.
If you’re in the market for unique ornaments or figures for yourself or as a gift, figures that are simple and striking in their elegance and poignancy, and which will stand the test of time, then these willow figures should undoubtedly by looked into. They’ve become prized items in many people’s collections, and have risen to the top of many people’s wish lists.
