Decorate Your Christmas Tree and Home with Ornaments and Sculptures from Willow Tree® Artist Susan Lordi captures the joy and sparkle of Christmas with artistic figurine ornaments and tree toppers that capture the sentiments of family bonds. If you’re looking for a way to showcase the power of friendship, love, family, and remembrance together in your Christmas tree, Lordi’s festive ornaments are a thoughtful way to do so. Her handcrafted ornaments can honor the love between family and friends, show appreciation for family members, or remind someone of the power of hope. Whether you’re gifting a Willow Tree® ornament to a loved one or hanging it on your own Christmas tree, these timeless pieces cultivate a classic holiday mood. You can also combine ornaments to create a theme of family and love. Some of Lordi’s 2017 and 2018 ornaments feature feelings of prayer, embrace, friendship, dance, and joy between siblings, partners, family, and friends. Christian and non-Christian traditions can embrace these universal symbols of hope and love, all captured in powerful ornaments that can be passed down and showcased from generation to generation. With themes like “Just for You,” Angel’s Embrace,” “Friendship,”“Song of Joy,” and “Dance of Life,” your Christmas tree will honor and celebrate those who play a special role in your life. Lordi’s 2019 ornaments, which will be available online and in select stores starting this November, honor the connection between siblings, pets, and memories with loved ones.

2. Inspired by the traditional colors and themes of Christmas, Lordi hand carves the original figures in her studio in Kansas City, Missouri. From there each piece is then cast from her original carvings and painted individually by hand. This intimate process brings the spirit of Christmas alive and conveys powerful Christmas symbols such as stars, the sun, warmth, light, and togetherness. Delicate emotions are a large part of Lordi’s work. Each piece of art conveys emotion not through facial features, but through body language, including the angle of the figure, the tilt of the head, the placement of the hands, and the subdued colors with which each figure is hand- painted. The soft tones and gentle angles create a canvas that captures the subtle intimacy of family, friends, and even pets, and also allows the gift giver and recipient to ascribe greater meaning to the figure that symbolizes their unique bond. Lordi creates artistic décor that complements your home as well. Beautiful figurative sculptures powerfully capture words of the heart in a comforting, thoughtful, and subtle way, and are a perfect way to decorate the mantle, table, or bookshelves for the holiday. Willow Tree® also carries a variety of backdrops and sanctuaries for the setting for your sculptures. From minimalist displays to more elaborate assortments, figures and ornaments from Willow Tree®are a lovely addition to any home or Christmas tree.
