Well, it's been a while since I posted on here and I have a reason. I got married! Yep, and I had to do something creative for it. So this is the first of 3 posts about all the decorations and design stuff me (and my now wife) did.
First of all come the save the dates and invitations. I started these way back in summer 2017..feels like a lifetime ago.
I tried in the beginning to come up with an overall theme, but then decided that the theme should be us. So I did something (that I think at least) has shades of Graeme Base's Animalia, one of my favourite books growing up.
So my wife likes cats, stained glass windows and Jane Austen and I like Doctor Who, Dinosaurs and we both like Lord of the Rings and ale so I came up with this for the save the date.
Next onto the invite. I went with the same kinda theme, but a bit more detailed.
So that's a Farnsworth from Warehouse 13, a martian from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, Sir Arthur from Ghouls 'n ghosts, a cooking spoon, a pencil, Calvin and Hobbes, tea (my wife loves tea!), Poirot TV series, Catan, David Attenborough, and Carradine's Cockey Singalong. Very, very us!
A very old and dear friend of ours helped with putting the words on. Thanks a million Emma!
Very nice to do some painting again. Like acrylics, they're very bright and you can just wash the brushes off with water, not smelly old white spirit.
