The original inspiration for Willow Tree still holds true today: Willow Tree is an intimate, personal line of figurative sculptures representing qualities and sentiments that help us feel close to others, heal wounds, or treasure relationships to living things. Artist Susan Lordi hand-carves each original piece with this thought in mind. Her figures continue to evolve as she identifies emotions so important for us to convey, and renders them in simple, pure gestures. These art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope...all the emotions of a life well lived.

Metallic Toadstools (Shiny Copper Speckle) Set of 3
The original design in our 'Magical Metallics' range, these bell-like toadstool forms have a spring connector so the top moves independently of the stem to create a gentle swaying motion in the slightest breeze or rain-shower.
The stems can easily be pushed into the ground and these Metallic Toadstools look very striking amongst low-planted borders, next to a stream or pond and in tall planters. A set of 3 in a seasonal planter is ideal beside a front door or porch display.
You may like to drill an old log or tree root to create a really stunning display of three or six toadstools grouped together at different heights.
The Copper coloured finish is reflective, contemporary and very stylish, this colour looks particularly effective rising above ground-cover plants.
All Potting Shed metal products have a protective coating to lessen the weathering effect, but rusting is a natural process that will occur over time, blending the item into nature's environment. If you wish to help retain the original colour and appearance, you can periodically coat it with a clear varnish, or spray with WD40 to protect from moisture. The colouring of all metallic items may fade or darken when exposed to bright sunlight.
