Willow Tree Butterfly Figurine

Willow Tree is an intimate line of figurative sculptures representing sentiments of love, closeness, healing, courage, hope...all the emotions we encounter in life. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each Willow Tree sculpture. Pieces are cast in resin from her original carvings, and then individually painted by hand with lead-free paint"When I think of the monarch butterfly, I am reminded of courage and strength in the face of adversity. A magical metamorphosis... from tiny egg to hungry caterpillar to brilliant chrysalis spotted with gold, the butterfly finally emerges a dazzling beauty. Delicate and fragile, yet determined and resilient, it forges its way for hundreds of miles along a migration route of obstacles and erratic weather patterns, compelled to complete its miraculous journey. I see the monarch butterfly as a true metaphor - for the desire in each of us to be our best, to live resiliently, to thrive, to make a positive difference in the world." - Susan Lordi. The item includes a gift tag with sentiment 'Resilient, determined, courageous and beautiful... You have the qualities to transform your world'. Not a toy or children's product.
