He is from a simple woodcut by Villard de Honne Court, dated 1235. It's in the Bibliotheque National, Paris.
The scene is of hunters, dogs barking at the lion, with the lion chained to a post. I liked the "play stance" of the lion and ignored the rest. The lion has no other significance other than I liked the way he looked.
Eventually he will have the border in silk and the background in couched gold. and everything will be outlined in pearls. I love to make covers for my SCA notebooks. :-)
The wedding Was on the 20-May ... but there's other 'issues' so the newly weds won't be living together for a while - I figure I have 12 weeks to get a project done.
"notebook cover" - well that would be what the whole design is ... the lion itself must have a 'name' ... Most 'people' in portraits have a name... even if the portrait is not their name. "Little girl in blue" or whatever the painting is called. Yep, humanizing the non-humans again.
