Elizabeth of York, Henry VIII's Mother

Description

As stated in the title, this is Elizabeth of York, mother to the famous King Henry VIII, & grandmother to Queen Elizabeth I.

The image is based on a portrait I found of the Queen, though it was difficult to make both her gown & headdress b/c there were no gable-hoods of any kind on the Tudors Scene-Maker. The portrait also only shows her from the chest up, so I had to use other pictures of early Tudor gowns as models for what the dress might have looked like.

This was actually a second attempt at creating Elizabeth of York. The first time around I tried using one of the French hoods in the game & it didn't exactly turn out so great :/ This time around, I made it entirely out of beads, no hood behind it, and used the portrait as the model.

The early English gable hoods for ladies actually look kinda pretty & unique. Gives you a real "Alice in Wonderland" feel. There's also that interesting late medieval look that ladies of the 15th century England had, just before King Henry brought on all the radical Renaissance fashions.

Elizabeth of York was said to be very beautiful in real life, and very gentle & kind in personality. I guess Henry got his nasty personality from his father, b/c Henry VII was said to be a greedy, money-grubbing jerk. It's a pity Elizabeth of York never got to see her granddaughter, Elizabeth I. She would have been proud of the girl :D

I made this using the Tudors Scene-Maker www.dolldivine.com/the-tudors-… on Doll Divine.

Girl definitely takes after her dad Edward IV and young Henry definitely takes after her.

Her older son, Arthur was apparently more like his dad the usurper Henry VII
