The Lady Patience, of Withywoods.

I always loved the description of Patience's rooms at Buckkeep; Hobb is brilliant at making a space feel real, so I wanted to try and do that myself a little.

Tumblr hive mind, please help me remember what the harvest/fall party in the Six Duchies is called! I remember there is a harvest party at Buckkeep, but not the name and not in which book, and I don't have access to my books right now. Help?

You know the drill--it's another location moodboard from the damn books. Buckkeep this time. For some reason I had to sit on this one for weeks before everything finally fell into place. You spend a lot of time here! It had to be Right!

“The binding was made in Paris between 1550 and 1555 either by Claude de Picques or by Jean Picard.”

“ To fully appreciate the importance of this binding and its relation to Picques we must again turn to "An Essay in the History of Gold-Tooled Bindings" by Herbert P. Horne London 1894. "...we must turn to the books of Charles IX., who succeeded his brother in 1560, not only for a new manner, but, also, for a new style. This style, which was adapted from the medieval device of the' semis,' the repetition of some given figure over a field at regular intervals, continued in use upon the books of the royal libraries, during the following century: and it is in the invention of this style, that French gilding first appears to free itself from the traditions. of Italian Art. A remarkable binding tooled in this way covers a book, which was placed in the library at Fontainebleau, by Katherine de Medicis, in memory of Henri II., and 'which is reproduced by M. Gruel, in his Manuel. The' semis,' with which this book is ornamented, consists in the repetition of two crowned cyphers, the one formed by the C of Charles IX., the other of the K of Katherine repeated and reversed. “
