A New Commission Completed! 
Elizabeth I and Lady Jane Grey

These two puppets were created, on request, for a past customer.

They asked me to create two Tudor themed puppets - The great Queen Elizabeth I and tragic Lady Jane Grey - to add to their collection.

Both have been fully repainted and wigs were created, so as to create an immediate effect as to the historical figures they are based upon.

 

Elizabeth wears a shot taffeta over-gown with an embroidered taffeta under-skirt and sleeves.

Her dress is embellished with satin bows, pearls (single and strung) and metallic gold lace. At her neck she sports a small lace ruff and a large whisk/standing ruff behind - this being decorated with a gathering of small satin roses.

Jane Grey wears a plush, red velvet over-gown and a silk brocade under-gown and gold brocade undersleeves. Her turned back 'greater sleeves' are lined with taffeta. She also dons a partlet, with a standing collar, which is crafted from taffeta and velvet.

Her dress is embellished with gold braid, pearls and a pendant upon her bodice. A gold chain and large solar charm hangs from her waist.

On her head she wears a decorative French hood with a back veil.
