Message "So loved, so very loved"
Size: 225 mm high

Susan Lordi says - "This piece is inspired by the memory of holding my children when they were really tiny
holding them so close that it involves all of your senses
the scent of the fuzzy head against your cheek, the skin-to-skin warmth, the realization that you can love another being so very, very much. I wanted to capture that sensory memory that every mother has from when she held her newborn infant an innermost quiet joy. The sentiment has a lullaby feel to it. When I finished carving this piece, I liked that the composition and the form as a whole seemed to work from all viewpoints". |

Guardian
Willow Tree Guardian
Message "Love and protect thee, forever"
Size: 225 mm high
Each Willow Tree piece comes gift boxed, with a card showing the piece's name and message. We'll gift wrap for you free of charge.
Susan Lordi says - "Guardian represents the overwhelming feelings of motherhood, and the desire to protect your new baby forever. The image of an infant cradled closely in her mother's arms is a symbol of the tremendous feelings of love a mother experiences when holding her new child. This figure could suggest a guardian spirit of protection. She could also be comforting to someone who has lost a child; a reminder of the love and caring a mother always feels, regardless of where her child is. I used the word 'thee' in the sentiment as an intimate way of talking to an infant. I think the word has a poetic sound and shows reverence and tenderness. It's the sort of word reserved for someone you love." |
