A New Tudor Themed Puppet:
The Headless Ghost 

of Queen Anne Boleyn

This Pelham Puppet has been fully redressed as the headless ghost of the tragic second wife to King Henry VIII - Queen Anne Boleyn.

Anne was unjustly executed - by the sword - for adultery and high treason after only three years of being queen. Her ghost is said to haunt the Tower of London, Blickling Hall and Hampton Court Palace.

The gown and French hood are cut from a white velvet  - with silver braided and metallic trim, studded with imitation pearls and her signature initial 'B' pendant. Her full underskirt and undersleeves are of a gold patterned brocade fabric and her turned back sleeves are lined with taffeta.  The face has been fully repainted to represent the Queen and her hair has been specifically styled from new material. She rests her severed head within the crook of her arm.

She is strung using traditional Pelham colours on a small sized vintage Pelham controller.

Two New Arthurian Themed Puppets:
The Lady of the Lake & 

Morgan le Fay

Puppets based upon two important female figures from the legends of King Arthur.

Morgan le Fay - Morgan was King Arthur's magical half sister, who plotted against Camelot and was mother to Mordred, who was destined to kill Arthur in battle.

The mythical Lady of the Lake - also known as Nimuë. She is an enchantress who lives in the lake which surrounded the sacred isle of Avalon. She is most famous for gifting the sword Excalibur to Arthur and is a vital element in the tales of Arthur's life.

Morgan is dressed in an ornate medieval style gown, cut from red velvet and lined with red taffeta. Her underskirt is duchesse satin overlaid with metallic, gold embroidery. The costume is embellished with gold metallic lace, pearls and red, rhinestone jewels. 

Her face - which has been remodelled around her cheek bones - hands and feet have been fully repainted to represent the character and her long dark hair has been specifically applied and styled over a red rhinestone band across her forehead.

The Lady of the Lake wears a watery medieval style gown, cut from pleated metallic silver cloth and shot blue taffeta layered with shimmering organza. 

The costume is embellished with silver metallic lace. She wears a pearl belt and holds a silver sword.

Her face (which as been remoulded) hands and feet have been fully repainted - and embellished with glittery highlights in order to catch the light. Her watery toned hair has been specifically applied and styled, then topped with a silver filigreed headdress.
