The item is made of cast stone and hand-painted with lead-free paint.A gift to express appreciation for teachers, volunteers, donors, carers, friends or for those who love plants and flowers. "The gesture of something special is a gesture of protection and care for something precious ... our children, our earth, our natural resources." For me, it's a hopeful piece about possibilities ... about every child doing their article. The stone is engraved with words and pictures. The puzzle pieces point to how inextricably linked we all are ... they are also symbols for children with autism. "Special" can mean many things - the special responsibility to care for our planet - and to raise ALL of our children to care for their future. "Something" can be interpreted on many levels. The little sprout is an unknown. What will become of it? And the boy is also a sprout ... what will become of him? He could represent hope for the future ...

This piece could symbolise something new and new beginnings. For many years we have wanted to experiment with environmentally friendly packaging that does not increase the risk of breakage. We are looking forward to trying it out with the packaging of "something special". The inner sleeve is made from biodegradable paper pulp so that both the sleeve and the box can be easily recycled." - Susan Lordi - 5.5 hour resin figure
