Willow Tree Joyful Child light skin hand-painted resin figure, 3" kneeling keepsake in cream & blue

This small sculpted piece by artist Susan Lordi captures a quiet, tender moment: a child kneeling with arms folded on her knees, finished in cream and blue tones. Cast from the original hand carving and painted by hand, the figure ships packaged in a fitted box with an enclosure card that reads “...nurtured by your loving care.” Its low-profile size and neutral palette make it easy to display alone or arranged with other Willow Tree figures to personalize a mantel, shelf, or tabletop vignette.

How is the Joyful Child made and finished?

The sculpture begins with Susan Lordi’s original hand carving; each production piece is cast from that original and then hand-painted for subtle shading and texture. The lightweight resin holds fine carved details while providing a durable finish that’s easy to display and care for.

• Original hand-carved design by Susan Lordi, created in Kansas City, MO
