Design Ideas #3
Sticking with the same layout, I have played around with using tudor panelling, stained glass and twigs in varying areas.
Panel flooring, multicoloured stained glass window, twig frame.
Leaf backdrop, tudor panel and rose window, plain stone floor.
Rose and leaf backdrop, tudor panel semicircle.
Theatre Details
The following technical drawings are from the Theatre Royal in Margate. I will be designing my set to go into these dimensions and take into considerations the lighting and sightlines of the building. Theate Royal has an apron stage.

Holbein
He was commissioned to paint a lot of the royal portraits, some of which still hang in the properties they lived in.
Faerie Queen
I found this cut out in an old book I was given as a child on the Tudors. It explains the popularity of a fictional faerie character based on Elizabeth I. I have looked for more evidence of this character but can only find that the character came about through a poem written by Edmund Spenser and that various artists incorporated the character into their paintings, all with different idea's of aesthetics.Other opinions on the character say that this poem was based on a prophecy regarding the Saxon's ruling England, which was later adopted by the Tudors.
I may take the Faerie Queen idea forward to help fuse the organic architecture and Tudor genres.
