Willow Tree is a line of figurine sculptures created by artist Susan Lordi in January 2000. The Willow Tree line specializes in rustic faceless people and angels intended to represent feelings or life events. The figurines are made from hand-painted resin which is cast from Lordi's hand-carved clay sculptures. Creator Susan Lordi partnered with the company Demdaco to produce, market and distribute Willow Tree figurines. The line is available nationwide in independent Gift shops and Hallmark stores and is often a top seller.
Creator Susan Lordi filed a lawsuit against CVS for selling figurines that she alleges are knockoffs of her designs. According to the lawsuit, CVS launched a line of faceless angels with wire-loop wings, which is a trademark of Lordi's designs. In her lawsuit, she reported her monthly sales as 4.6 million in the US
