My big sis is getting married soon. How exciting. She asked me do design her invitations for her. The theme for the wedding is a kind of retro carnival thing.

Here are some of the early sketches. I really like the designs of those big chair swing rides. I started out with that but then we decided to do something else entirely. I chucked them up here anyway because I liked the sketches.

Then my sister decided to go with the other idea we had going. Having the bride and the groom depicted on the panels of Circus Caravan. You can see the original sketch and then what it looked like when it was finished.
