Willow Tree Summer 2011 New Design by DEMDACO.
Message: "Bringing a triumphant spirit, inspiration and courage"
Song: Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"

Musical has a rotating base.

"I remember a gift of a music box-long ago. When I opened it, a little ballerina magically twirled to the melody of Always. Dance has always inspired me-it's sculpture in motion! When I sculpt, I try to carve movement into the form. So now, having these pieces turn to music seems a natural and exciting progression for Willow Tree. The classic melodies are familar and happily reminiscent. I hope that this Musical gift can be both sentimental and celebratory." Susan Lordi

These influences are revealed in her Willow TreeŽ sculptures, from which emotion is communicated through gestures only.
