Oh how things have changed...

On May 19th 1536, Queen Anne Boleyn was beheaded in the Tower of London after being found guilty of treason and adultery. That was 478 years ago.

 

Oh how the world has changed.

Especially for Women!

 

Funny how Henry could cheat everyday....but when you want rid of a wife....just accuse her of cheating and other erroneous charges.

And it is done.

It would be so awful to die for no reason.

The trials were a joke.

 

I am quick to remind my daughter that women have only gotten certain rights in the last hundred years....and only in some countries....not the whole world.

 

When I think of Anne Boleyn...I think of a women that was different than others....strong willed,

wanting power, using some charm and wit....how dare her!  lol

She will forever be in history!

 

Artwork in pendants

I love to paint and then think of all the things I could do with the artwork.

Here I painted the lovely Anne Boleyn and I put the image in a pendant.

Henry the eighth was such a tyrannical ruler

Everything had to go his way....and his way changed a lot!

I decided to she needed big eyes....since her eyes probably got real big when she was accused of treason.

I love cats....I have 3 tabbys!  This watercolor painting is on an atc card originally. 

This cat also has big eyes ....big blue ones!

These pendants with necklaces are on my Mrs. Tiddlemouse etsy shop

 

I can't wait for Downton Abbey tonight....season premiere.  Hope it is as exciting as before.

Henry the eighth & me

Gonna have a good day to today....

It's my Birthday!!!  I'm 45.....yikes!  What a milestone.  That is me above...at Loon lake...in a dress my mom made.  I would love to go back and observe a day from my childhood....I would get to see my mom again!

I share my birthday with King Henry the Eighth!

I love the show "The Tudors"....might have to watch a couple episodes!



Gee....the actor looks so much more handsome than the real portrait of King Henry...surprise surprise....lol.

Gotta run....Have a good one!

Beautiful Anne Boleyn

I had to do my style painting of Anne Boleyn....Henry the VIII's 2nd wife who was unfairly beheaded.

I love painting huge eyes...don't know why... he he he.

This is a small ATC size painting.....had so much fun doing it.

I am a huge Tudor fan...I am so interested in all the politics and everyone's huge ambitions.  Let's face it....back then justice was not fair and it was best if you were safely away from court.

I have had a few rough days....things are looking up however and I am so grateful!

It is like the sunshine is pouring through and giving me new strength....hope everything is sunshiny for you too!

Come to Friday flair at Whipperberry!!!
