Nature Spirits Marionettes




Nature Spirits Marionettes are a great decorator piece for any room that you want to add some color, an accent, an original art work or a conversation piece. Each marionette is handmade by Julia and Charles Yelton and is a signed original. On this gallery page you will find a sampling of the characters we have created. If you would like a custom marionette contact us with your requirements so we may give you a quotation.




Originally created as teaching aids, the marionettes took on a popularity of their own and Julia and Charles have sold them to shops, decorators and individuals around the world. They hope that their creations will remind people that dreams can be real, and that fun and fantasy are a necessary part of our everyday existence.




Each character is individually handmade and signed. Each one will appear slightly diferent from the pictures here, and that is to be expected as each of our marionettes is an original. We also create custom marionettes, contact us with your requirements so we may give you a quotation. Decorator and dealer inquiries invited.




These fantasy marionettes are 20 to 24 inches high plus the strings and are lightweight weighing 1 to 2 lbs. The hands and face are made from wood and paper clay. They are adjustable, workable, poseable and are jointed at the neck, shoulder and elbow. They come with a single or double cross hand piece and have 4 or 5 strings depending on the character.
