Unique Marionettes, Limited Edition Marionettes and Popular Puppets
Unique Marionettes
These marionettes are UNIQUE and will not be repeated. They come with certificate to guarantee originality.
The Woodcarver
The Woodcarver is carved from Linden Wood, he is 53 cm tall, his costume is made of soft leather, he holds a carved head, a blunt steel chisel (optional). He is preserved in Beeswax and finished by hand painting in oil paints so the grain of the wood shows through. He is a unique creation and an interpretation of the way Lenka carves. Something that should not be copied.

Dalden The Huntsman
“Dalden The Huntsman” is fantasy creation, he is 60 cm tall, he has been lovingly carved by myself from the finest linden wood and preserved in bees wax. I love to paint my marionettes with oil paint as it allows the natural grain of the wood to shine through beautifully. His costume is made from pure silk recycled Indian sarees with beautiful jewel like colours. His head covering is from butter soft leather and he is decorated with a sword and trumpet made from metal possibly brass.
The pictures are taken at Dalden Tower a medieval fortified Manor house, not far from our English home. We imagine him being the hunter for this household hundreds of years ago. Not sure of the buildings age, but it was given to the Bowes family in 1375, it is in ruins, but still an historic listed building.
Dalden is Unique marionette, his price reflects he is Unique and won’t be copied, the large pieces of solid wood used for his construction and the deep carving of his hands and face.

LIMITED EDITION MARIONETTES
From time to time I offer marionettes which are a limited edition, meaning these marionettes will only be created up to the pre decided number then they will no longer be available. These Marionettes will be supplied with a numbered certificate.
Rulandus 1-4/20 Limited Edition
Rulandus (50 cm tall) is from my imagination, I am trying to bring the feel of the dark arts. He is a Marge an Alchemist locked away in dark rooms in some rich man’s house, making poisons and
metals, maybe even gold. He is a secret man who you would not want as your friend, but you really would not have him for an enemy (not for long anyway).
He is hand carved in Linden wood, preserved in melted bees wax, before been hand painted with oil paints. The costume is made of soft leather and recycled Indian silk. He is a Limited Edition and so far he is 1 -4/20, there may be more…

Coloured Boy 1 and 2 Limited Edition
I am really excited to share my Blue Boy (60 cm tall) 1/5 and Red Boy (60 cm) Limited Edition 2/5, they are hand carved and finished to the same high standard as all my marionettes, I use bees wax to preserve the wood and then I finish them with oil paint.
I have been really lucky to find a supplier of fantastic recycled silks in India, they have an unbelievable range of colours and patterns which have given my latest work a real boost. The colours are bright and vibrant and work with the oil paints to bring the marionettes alive. The rest is made up of soft leather in the usual way and decorated with real feathers. (The Peacock feathers may not be available in all colours.)
Red Boy was created to order and he will live in America with his brother Blue Boy. There will not be another in theses colours but maybe green, purple, yellow… claim your colour let you imagination run WILD.
