New Punch & Judy Glove Puppets are currently in the early stages of completion.  The design (clay sculpt above) is based on the Punch & Judy Wall Plaques, but the finished items will be larger, full-sized practical figures.

NIGHTINGALE GALLERY

Glenn has recently completed a specially-commissioned Rod Puppet Nightingale.  The picture above is the original clay model.  The rod puppet has moving head, wings, tail and legs, all operated through one rod.

NEWLY-COMMISSIONED GLOVE PUPPETS

A new Gallery was added on 8 October 2003, of Specially-Commissioned Glove Puppets.  The character above is part of a set of 5 puppets for an environmentally-themed show in Northern Ireland.  For other Special Commissions, go to the Commissions Page.

Pictures were added 24 August 2003, to Ian Denny's article "An American Odyssey".  The above picture is part of a sign at the entrance to Dilcon School, Arizona.

NEW GALLERY ADDED

A new Gallery was added 27 July 2003, titled "The Creation of the Sea Witch" which includes photos of stages in the process of sculpting and costuming the Sea Witch Marionette.  To go to this gallery, click the picture above.

HISTORICAL CHARACTERS

A project which Glenn Holden started many years ago, was to create marionettes of The Six Wives of Henry VIII.  Only Henry and four of the wives were ever completed and two of these; Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard (pictured above), have now been renovated.  Glenn is still considering whether to complete the set.

May 2003

The Prince from Beauty & The Beast has recently had a re-paint and a new hairstyle.  For other characters from this production, go to the Gallery Page
