The first woman to ask for divorce and lead an army, Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122) lived until she was 82 (pretty good considering most died in their 40s). She got a formal education, which was really rare for women in that era. There are rumours that she poisoned her second husband Henry II’s mistress, the Fair Rosamund.

Playing with some more felt pins! My first try at an elephant face — it’s kinda funky, I think I might add a “background” to the next one, or change the shape up a bit.
