The figures found in the Willow Tree Nativity sets are created with a similar eye towards providing the viewer with peace and serenity that Susan's other works do. Each sculpture reflects the emotion that one feels when they finish up in a significant life changing event. Someone may want to commence with the small 6 piece nativity which contains sculptures of a 14" Joseph, 11" Mary and baby Jesus, and the shepherd and animals. The background and metal star is available as an accessory, or you may wish to choose a larger nativity which will have all of the pieces needed to finish a set. The 14 piece nativity scene gives on the six piece set with individual sculptures of the three wise men, more animals, and a metal star background. You may add a creche, angel stand, and other accessories to this set that will make a definite and pretty piece. In the eighteen piece nativity you may find that 2 new sculptures of an ox and goat are also combined in the lovely scene. A person who wants to add more animals to their nativity scene can do so simply by including those provided as accessory figures. every part of the Willow Tree Nativity is sculptured in clay by Susan Lordi. The sculptures are then sent to China where they are duplicated using resin molds that contain every detail of the original sculpture. When the resin sculpture is finished, it is hand painted with four layers of thin water based paint before being cured and sent to locations across the world. The sculptures are traditional Willow Tree pieces, reflecting emotion, love, and compassion in subdued colours that do not contain decorations. The pieces are sculptured without faces so a person can more easily interact with the feelings conveyed by the sculpture. The animals offer a pose that's calm and tranquil without any expression on their faces. An individual will find that each piece appears to fit together to create a complete picture of love. The Willow Tree nativity, like the other sculptures of the Willow Tree family are not meant to be placed in the outside. These pieces of art may suffer damage when they are in wet or inclimate weather. There are 4 different skin tones used when the figures are sculpted to reflect the variety of the nativity groups. The figures can be moved simply and placed in different locations on a nativity set. An individual may wish to use the nativity as part of their year round collection. The pieces provide the same beauty, peace, and serenity of the other sculptures designed by Susan. The nativity is available through some local shops or through websites on the web. Many people find that if they're having a tricky time finding a specific replacement piece, it is available thru the Willow Tree website. In addition the Willow Tree nativity collections are discussed in detail on lots of the forums and bulletin boards that are financed by collectors of these beautiful pieces of sculpture.
