Willow Tree Musical Figurine

The Willow Tree brand offers a range of figurative sculptures that communicate through gesture to represent emotions and mark memories. One such piece is the "Close to me Musical" - a meaningful gift to commemorate occasions like graduation, birthdays, or the bond between mother and daughter.

The "Close to me Musical" is a 7.5-inch resin figure sculpted by artist Susan Lordi and hand-painted. It depicts an older woman embracing a younger girl, both dressed in cream-colored gowns with intertwined vines and leaves. The figure is affixed to a round, cream-colored wood base that contains a musical element, playing Debussy's "Clair de Lune" as the piece rotates.

The sentiment "Apart or together, always close to me" is written on an enclosure card that accompanies the gift-ready, fitted box packaging. Willow Tree's musical sculptures are a natural and exciting progression, with classic melodies that are familiar and happily reminiscent. These musical pieces make meaningful gifts to celebrate weddings, new babies, birthdays, and holidays.

Susan Lordi, the artist behind Willow Tree, hand-carves the original of each piece in her studio in Kansas City, Missouri. The "Close to me Musical" is cast from her original carving and then hand-painted. This piece is ready to display on a shelf, table, or mantel, and can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth.

The loving relationship between mother and child can be expressed in various Willow Tree formats, including figures, musicals, keepsake boxes, and memory boxes. As Lordi states, "The challenge for me is to honestly sculpt what I know to be true and to put my emotions into tangible form. Hopefully, this will touch a universal chord and be meaningful to others."

Willow Tree's figurative sculptures communicate beyond words, making a gift of Willow Tree a thoughtful way to express emotions and commemorate cherished moments. Whether it's "Tenderness," a sculpted hand-painted keepsake box, or the "Memory Box" featuring a mother and daughter, Willow Tree offers a range of products that capture the depth of human relationships and experiences.
