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:

Art is beautiful in the eyes of the holder(or something like that)

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

Cool Job Ferdie.

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. :)
