Tudor Rose Tapestries
Description: The Tudor dynasty oversaw a transformative period of English history, with monarchs including Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. This era was marked by religious and political upheaval, including the English Reformation and the establishment of the Church of England. Henry VIII's six marriages and his break from the Catholic Church are particularly well-known. Elizabeth I's reign saw the defeat of the Spanish Armada and a flowering of English culture, with playwrights such as Shakespeare producing some of their greatest works. My unique fresh design is now available on all kinds of merch. Wonderful gift ideas for the avid history buffs in your life!
Description: For this block print I have based my design of Tudor style embroidery. Many of the Tudors clothes were embroidered with sweeping vines and floral patterns. Here you can see a small bird perched among a flowering vine. Done in black and white it also reminds me a lot of Tudor style blackwork. I've recreated this bird motif as a hand-carved block print and printed it by hand before scanning it to make this design.
Description: This original design was created in Illustrator using different historical sources. The White Rose of York is a heraldic rose adopted in the 14th century as an heraldic badge of the royal House of York. In modern times it is used more broadly as a symbol of the county of Yorkshire.
Description: Show your ultimate passion for English football with this iconic Three Lions crest graphic design. Featuring the traditional blue heraldic lions passant guardant surrounded by red Tudor roses inside a classic team shield, this vector artwork captures the true spirit of England national sports. The perfect graphic for dedicated soccer fans, football supporters, expats, and anyone proud of British heritage.

Description: Royal Navy - Mary Rose was a carrack in the English Tudor navy of King Henry VIII. She was launched in 1511 and served for 34 years in several wars against France, Scotland, and Brittany. After being substantially rebuilt in 1536, she saw her last action on the 19th of July 1545. She led the attack on the galleys of a French invasion fleet, but sank off Spithead in the Solent, the strait north of the Isle of Wight.
Description: Anne Boleyn, c1501 - 1536 CE, was the second wife and queen consort of King Henry VIII of England. She was accused of treason, divorced, and ultimately beheaded becoming in the process one of the most famous queens in all of British history. Her personal badge was a crowned white falcon sitting atop a stump with roses. Here I've recreated one of the iconic Hampton Court carvings of Anne Boleyn's badge which were nearly all destroyed shortly after her fall. Only a few managed to survive and can still be seen at Hampton Court today. My version of the carving is slightly simplified, but I have maintained some of the damage that can be seen on the original and, of course, the four lovely Tudor roses that surround it!

Only a few managed to survive and can still be seen at Hampton Court today. This version is slightly simplified-- representing just the falcon on the stump with roses-- but still maintains a bit of the damage you can find on the original carving!
