Some cigar art

Don Fernando · 01-19-2009, 02:38 PM

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?

Don Fernando · 01-19-2009, 02:53 PM

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

Don Fernando · 01-19-2009, 03:01 PM

I'm glad your cigar bands came in handy!!!

Just one question! Why is the Gurkha band covering the Asylum???

Very Cool, no matter what anyone else says.

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

Don Fernando · 01-19-2009, 03:47 PM

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

Cool Job Ferdie.

MedicCook · 01-19-2009, 03:51 PM

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.

Mybe when you get here you can do crafts with my kids.
