The figures found in the Willow Tree Nativity collections are created with the same eye towards providing the viewer with peace and serenity that Susan’s other works do. Each piece reflects the emotion that one feels when they find themselves in a significant life changing event.
A person may wish to start with the small six piece nativity which contains sculptures of a 14″ Joseph, 11″ Mary and baby Jesus, and the shepherd and animals. The backdrop and metal star is available as an accessory, or you may want to select a larger nativity that will have all of the pieces needed to complete a set.
The fourteen piece nativity scene adds to the six piece set with individual sculptures of the three wise men, more animals, and a metal star backdrop. You can also add a creche, angel stand, and other accessories to this set that will make a distinct and beautiful piece. In the eighteen piece nativity you will find that two new sculptures of an ox and goat are also included in the beautiful scene. A person who wants to add more animals to their nativity scene can do so easily by including those provided as accessory figures.
Each piece of the Willow Tree Nativity is sculpted in clay by Susan Lordi. The sculptures are then sent to China where they are replicated using resin molds that contain every detail of the original sculpture. When the resin sculpture is completed, it is hand painted with four layers of thin water based paint before being cured and sent to locations throughout the world. (more…)
