Have you ever noticed the artwork on tissue boxes? I love the one with all the people on it -- what a display of our cultural diversity! On the bookshelf next to me is a box with carousel horses. Remember the old amusement park carousel with the calliope? My high school students love the box with Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and another Disney princess I can't remember right now. Maybe it's Belle from Beauty and the Beast? There are soooo many different Christmas and Winter tissue boxes each season. I wonder how companies decide to "retire" tissue box art and whether they have an archive somewhere.
Maybe it's time for me to make a collection of tissue box art. Occasionally, I've cut up the boxes, scanned them, and used the saved graphics as wallpaper on my computer.
What would it be like to print tissue box art on fabric? . . . . I could make a tissue box art quilt. Or a jacket.
