Well, I've been playing with the Altoids tins again. Here is Anne Bolelyn:
Inside top of the lid - Henry VIII and Anne embellished with crystal cabochons :
Bottom, inside of tin - 20th Century portrait of Henry VIII and Anne hunting:
A miniature, magnetized pin cushion (1.5x2.5 inches) with Anne Boleyn's motto, "The Most Happy":
Since I was on a "Tudor-toot", I completed this needle book - The Tudor Rose:
Hope you all are well - Take care -
That portrait of Anne Bolelyn is pretty. Any ideas on the name of the painter?
