I experimented with colour and texture to give them a softness. I was interested in transforming a hard surface by carving and carving into it until it looked wooly or furry, or in the case of the donkey, had the clothlike surface of a blanket.” --Susan Lordi\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Willow Tree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49281748467926,"sku":"26206","price":136.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/3199\/9190\/files\/26206.jpg?v=1784268279","url":"https:\/\/www.pepperfields.com.au\/products\/willow-tree-the-christmas-story-gentle-animals-of-the-stable","provider":"Pepperfields","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
