Some cigar art
 

I have been saving the bands of the cigars that I smoke for over a year now, all with the idea to make a collage, frame it and hang it on a wall somewhere. Yesterday I decided it was time to be creative and so I got the frame out, emptied the box with bands, grabbed some glue and started working:

The glue: Gum arabic, the stuff they use to glue wrappers to binders

then a base with some stickers and cigar related flyers I got over the past year

again, the base

and then the final result:

Is it too late to start over?

Re: Some cigar art

Re: Some cigar art

I guess what it's true what they say..
Art is beautiful in the eyes of the holder(or something like that)

Re: Some cigar art
 

Were you smoking a cigar while doing this?

Re: Some cigar art
 

yes, and watching football at the same time

Re: Some cigar art
 

Good, at least it you didn't totally waste that time..:r

My wife likes it..:)

Re: Some cigar art
 

I was only busting your chops Don. It's very unique which makes it pretty cool! :D

Re: Some cigar art
 

Re: Some cigar art
 

Good, I like your wife ;)

Re: Some cigar art
 

Very Cool, no matter what anyone else says.

BTW I assume that football is what we call soccer in the U.S.

Re: Some cigar art
 

thnx and yes, its the football you actually play with your feet and not with your hands ;)

Re: Some cigar art
 

Cool Job Ferdie.

Re: Some cigar art
 

Nice job. Now it's time to work on #2.

Dood, you gotta incorporate a major element.
If you did a big emblem or something over top of everything, it'd tame it down and be so friggin sweet that I'd want one.
Kinda like draw a big peace sign over the whole field and then smear glue on it and sprinkle it with rustic gold sparkles.
Doesn't have to be a peace sign, it could be anything you like.

Thanks for being the brunt, when Mean D asked if was too late to start over, I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna pee myself. :)
You done good, brother. :tu
Mybe when you get here you can do crafts with my kids. :)

Re: Some cigar art
 

What??? No mailer from Thompsons? :r

Not a bad looking decoration for the cigar room. :ss

Re: Some cigar art
 

I dig it, that would be slick for a bar, kitchen or stogie room!

Re: Some cigar art
 

I thought only women did this!!!! Damn bro dont tell the inmates this they may even be ashamed. But "DEPENDS" that could cover the situation!!!!:r:al

Re: Some cigar art
 

:r:r

Re: Some cigar art
 

Here in the states we have home decorators that would love this (too bad the males are on the feminine side :r) looks like a puff ad, just need bands bro. not the hype! Cant help myself to give you a ration of she-IT!!!!

Re: Some cigar art
 

It is fun to pound on Don, isn't it? ;)

Re: Some cigar art
 

Looks good Ferd, have a pic of it in it's new home?

Re: Some cigar art
 

When you consider that we are just hanging out wasting time many of the time when smoking, I can see this being a topic of discussion. He's got lots of different bands in there, and you know that if you were at his house you would be looking over that frame deciding what they were and how many you had enjoyed.

My wife wouldn't let me put it up . . . and that means it gets my seal of approval!

Re: Some cigar art
 

Hey, don't most institutions have arts and craft time for the patients?

Re: Some cigar art
 

You would know Scott. :r

Re: Some cigar art
 

Re: Some cigar art

Re: Some cigar art

Looks nice, and Don's collage as well, I have some cigar related things around the house as well, only made one myself and it was a easy one :p

Made this one myself, can always change it when I find something nicer

And I got this one from someone who wanted to get rid of it (cigarshop owner that couldn't sell the brand anymore)
