Catherine Parr played an important role as queen, helping reunite Henry with his children and encouraging education at the royal court. She was also a published author and the first English queen to write and publish books under her own name. After Henry’s death in 1547, Catherine went on to marry Thomas Seymour, though she died shortly after giving birth in 1548.

3/5 Parr. I havent made any progress recently as I am still waiting until I can get the last studs but I just had to pin a sleeve to see how it looks all together. And I had a "did I really make that?" moment. Also the sleeves are teally heavy maybe even more than Aragon. #cosplay #sixthemusical #sixcosplay #sixthemusicalcosplay #catherineparr #catherineparrcosplay #parr #queen #queendom #broadway #broadwaycosplay #musicaltheater #theatercosplay #musicalcosplay #wip #cosplaywip #costumemaking #mexicancosplayer #cosplaymexico https://www.instagram.com/p/CmvYtfhOi5o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 6 of learning to draw people. Here is the 6th and last wife of Henry VIII, Catherine Parr. Catherine's mother, Maude Green was one of the ladies in waiting to Henry's 1st wife, Catherine of Aragon, and was named after the Spanish Queen, who was her godmother. Catherine was a unique woman for her time. She was an author, twice published, and also twice widowed when she married Henry, but she had her heart set on another man, but she couldn't exactly say no to the King, but they did have a good relationship with Henry, even though they did have one hiccup with the topic of religion, because she was a staunch Protestant, but she talked her way out of being arrested, insisting that she wanted to hear Henry's opinion on the matter. She serves as a nurse companion for the aging King, and shortly before he died, she talked him into reconciliation with his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth and restored them to the succession, after being deemed illegitimate, and was especially close to the Princess Elizabeth. Shortly after Henry's death, she finally married the man she originally loved, Thomas Seymour, the late Queen Jane Seymour's brother, but he broke her heart when he tried to seduce Princess Elizabeth, who was 14 at the time. I feel for Catherine because she had 3 previous marriages, but the one that she genuinely loved, ended up not being true to her. So far, the first week into the New Year, I decided on the 6 wives of the infamous King Henry VIII, to kick off learning how to draw people. These were only a few drafts, as I honestly feel like they look better that way, I will at some point turn them into paintings. After this, whenever I have another sketch ready, I will share it on here and save it to my portfolio. Thank you guys for the feedback, I appreciate it! #catherineparr #tudordynasty #henryviii #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFqMyAu2mZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cathy thinks for a minute before concluding. “Right, come with me” she instructs Anna. Anna follows her down the hall to the bathroom, not questioning anything. Cathy pushes the drunk queen into the shower and turns it on. “Crap” Anna gasps “what was that for?”. Cathy rolls her eyes. “I had to sober you up somehow, Anna. You were barely making any sense” she informs the now drenched queen. “God I’m freezing Catherine” Anna complains. Cathy stands back, allowing Anna to move. “Next time you go and get drunk on a weekday, think about how much you drink”. Anna sighs and pulls off her wet top. Cathy watches this unfold. “What’s up, Anna?” She asks, handing Anna a towel. Anna shrugs and dries herself off. “Come on, Anna, go find yourself some dry clothes, and we’ll talk about this”.  Anna smiles faintly and tells Cathy she’ll be back in a few minutes. Cathy nods and uses this time to return the bathroom to order before heading back to her room.
