***I am editing this to just mention I did not know a book titled: Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination is due to be published on May 7th 2019.*** I certainly can't claim a mind anywhere in the same universe as the Doctor, but my title for this card and what happened to my reader was I suppose something Dr S would thunk up!
This card was so much fun to create. Thanks so much to our challenge hostess lovetostampstampstamp. To say our family loves the good doctor, Seuss is a huge understatement! At the beginning of April there was a Target Sunday ad which featured Dr Seuss books. I saved the copy and have made three cards with various parts of the ad. I saved the best for last...Oh, the places you'll go! The frontpiece was cut out and put onto a piece of heavier cs. I then made a photo copy of the book.
The Judikins man is sitting in the chair reading a newspaper. I thought at first I'll paper piece the book onto the newspaper. However it was too big. Rather than making the copy smaller, I had the thought...'what if my man was actually becoming the book he was reading?' And that's the path I took. Part of his left leg still shows his jeans and his right sleeve. I paper pieced the mid century chair in a chartreuse tweed.
The background is from a French company Aladine. I stamped it with VersaFine 'Majestic Blue'.
Thanks for your comments.
