When we think of figurines, we usually think of those small, table-top miniature statues of people and animals that serve as decorations to people's homes. What a lot of people do not know is the reason why these figurines were created in the first place. Sure there is the factor of having an income which is probably a common motivation for artist, but money probably matters little to the artists creating figurine sculptures. The driving force behind these artists doing what they do and creating what they create is sending their messages of what they believe in and to somewhat influence other people to do the right things as well as giving hope and inspiration to them.

One such artist is Susan Lordi, who is behind the Willow Tree Figurines and Angels Figurines collection. Her Willow Tree figurines have touched a lot of people who felt downtrodden and lonely during their dark hours. The Willow Tree Angel Figurines is among this popular line up of Susan Lordi's creation and is actually the first figurines she started with.

Willow Tree specializes on figurine sculptures that represent qualities and sentiments of ones emotions. Feelings of Friendship, Love, Hope, and Spirituality are a few of many expressions given. One look at the Angel statues will let someone reminisce and remember their treasured moments and be inspired.

Being hand crafted by Susan Lordi, each one of these figurine gives out a message of healing, love, hope and courage. Her drive to promote healing and inspiration to motivate others through her sculptures, and remembrance of emotions of life well-lived.

A line up that started in January of 2000, with Susan Lordi having only 15 number of Angels and the scene of Christ's Birth. Ever since then, her collection grew by the thousands of Angel figurines to express human sentiments to our loved ones.

Interpretation of each Willow Tree Angel Figurine has been an "open" topic for Susan Lordi on how they see each piece. She created Willow Tree Angels so that anybody can say what they think about what message each figurine Angel is sending and eventually process that interpretation into something good.

The term Willow Tree was bestowed upon Susan Lordi's creations because of the pillar-like design of every Willow Tree Angel figurine. These sculptures symbolizes the firm stance of a willow tree and metaphorically holds objects of nature such as flora and animals to symbolize healing, remembrance and beauty.

These Willow Tree Angel Figurines will serve their purpose of not only providing our homes and table-tops the vibrant colors and aesthetics they need, but will also provide someone the inspiration to gather strength, courage, and faith that every person needs.

It would be wonderful to think that a good entity such as Angels will appear and comfort us whenever we are feeling down and ready to give up. Offering us comfort, hope and relief by a supernatural being sent by God is such a comforting thought to everyone who believes.

Willow Tree Angels may be far from being able to provide each person the divine assistance compared to their real angel counterparts, but these little statues will be able to provide the necessary encouragement and hope to someone who lay his or her eyes on them. Not only that, the different messages of hope inscribed to each Willow Tree Angel figurine enables everyone to get that strength needed to get through the trials of life.
