Meet Prince Randolph


Prince Randolph has come to ask the king's permission to court Ariana. They've known each other since they were children and Ariana really wants the king to say yes. She's been banished to the chapel while the men talk. Randolph looks a bit nervous, don't you think?

Still adding the details

A coat of arms banner for the great hall in blue and gold to match the feathers on the armor helmets. I just cut a section of patterned cardstock that I liked and added the design with gold paint and a toothpick.
Ariana's bedchamber now has a door. Gotta keep all those knights running up to the armory from peeking in her room. ;) The door is actually stationary and is made from a kit leftover piece that is exactly the right height.
Aran now has a gold and ruby cross pendant on a very heavy gold chain. The price some people pay to show off their wealth..:-D
And, finally, I used some embossed stickers to add hinges to the front door. I used the same type on Ariana's door. I don't think there is much more to do to call the castle finished. I want to make a visiting prince who's come to ask permission to court Ariana and I will continue to add some details as inspiration strikes but it looks good as it is now.

Oh, except for lighting. Hubby is going to help me make some battery powered LED lights. He can do the electronics and I can make the candles/stands so hopefully our collaboration will be successful.

Ariana's Daddy

is King Aran. Ariana was named for her father and her mother, Rianna. Aran is wearing a royal blue satin tunic over black trousers. He's wearing black "leather" boots and a fur trimmed metallic striped overcoat. His crown is one of the crowns I made earlier. Poke the picture to see more details.
