Have made a start on the basic costuming for Henry VIII....
All is going quite well except for the alarmingly large codpiece which will need further attention...don't know how that happened LOL ;0)
Been trying out some other materials for the upper garments too. Bought a toy yesterday which I've chopped up as I liked the fur, although it's a little pale so may need to try to darken it if I can. Found some rather nice crispy gold silk which should go well for his big sleeves. Still a lot of jewellery to add too on the costume itself and the regalia/sword etc.
As it's half term next week don't expect any more for a while!

I have always been fascinated by Henry VIII and the life he led - can't wait to see him finished, Eileen.

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHe has been reduced a little in the offending area!
Working on his short gown now, then the top details which I'm looking forward to doing, he has that wonderful jewelled chain over his shoulders!!
