Free Spirit

Willowtree figurine: Free Spirit. Dancing through life with laughter. "This is a happiness piece - movement and dancing connote freedom and joy of life. A lot of little girls go through a 'high twirl' stage - when every one of them wants to be a princess or a ballerina - when they seem to float and dance rather than walk. This demonstrative gesture might capture that time. Or, this figure might reflect elements of an adult's personality - someone we would call a 'free spirit'. I see the word Spirit as a sense of self and free will, enthusiasm and energy; as having an upbeat frame of mind. Someone who is enjoyable and wonderful to be around due to her attitude toward life. This would be a nice gift for someone entering a new phase of life, such as after retirement or divorce... I hope the piece will universally express joy, freedom and happiness at any age." Susan Lordi
