Around You Cake Topper SENTIMENT: ...just the nearness of you DESCRIPTION: Around You Cake Topper is a romantic, commemorative keepsake for weddings and anniversaries, or any celebratory event of enduring love. The base of carved flowers provides stability as well as beauty. Resin and paint are cured and lead-free. All materials have been tested to ensure food safety. Willow Tree is a reminder of someone we want to keep close, or a memory we want to touch. Hand-carved figures reveal their expression through body gestures only... a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Since 1999, American artist Susan Lordi has worked in partnership with DEMDACO to produce, market and distribute Willow Tree¨, her line of carved figurative sculpture. From her studio in Kansas City, Lordi hand carves the original of each figure. This piece is cast from Lordi's original and painted by hand. Enclosed inside each fitted packaging box is a gift-giving card with piece title and sentiment on it. Each piece is intended to be open to interpretation from the viewer. "Willow Tree isn't so much about the tangible piece. It represents an emotion or it marks a memory." -Susan Lordi
