All Things Circus

{Ferris Wheel}

{Carousel}

Lately I've had a renewed fascination with all things Circus. I did a few fun little ink sketches. I first drew them, then scanned them into Photoshop. I then scanned in some pages from a cookbook from 1908 that I found at a vintage shop. I love the feel of old paper like that... but couldn't bare the though of actually drawing directly onto it!

For fun I photocopied the simple ink sketches for my son to color in. He loved them and now keeps asking to go riding on a ferris wheel.

I'm going to enlarge them to an 8x10 and probably hang them in his room. After all, his room does have yellow stripes on the ceiling! It's very fun + fitting.
