Willow Tree Je t'aime (I Love You) 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"My daughter lives in France, so I've traveled there quite a bit in the last few years. I enjoy the art and architecture, the gorgeous countryside, learning the language... It's truly a culture of romance. So in sculpting Je t'aime, a piece about love, I wanted it to have a little more style and mystique... a sophistication, an elegance... I made changes to the dress - extending sleeves and neckline. I love the challenge of starting with a solid, opaque, hard surface, and carving and carving until it looks like embellished lace. The extensive surface carving makes Je t'aime unique in the line. Although influenced by France, Je t'aime is a universal piece. The sentiment moves from the universal, to the personal one-on-one..." - Susan Lordi. The item includes a gift tag with sentiment 'In any language, it's you I love.' Je t'aime figurine would be a perfect gift for Valentine's Day or any other occasion. Not a toy or children's product.
