Look at this amazing giant quahog shell sculpture. It's constructed entirely of tossed away cigarette butts! The piece was part of an exhibit at the Maritime Museum in Salem, MA, called Trash to Treasure. Thanks Sea Witch for sharing this! And speaking of smokin', I gave it up cold turkey thirteen years ago.
Congrats for having quit.
ReplyDeleteMaya,
ReplyDeleteWOW! A truly amazing piece. How big is it? Where were the butts collected?

Congrats for having quit, but I wonder one thing...
ReplyDeleteDoes that shell smell like old ciggie butts???
Euuuuwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Hi Maya, I had to take a closer look... you find the most amazing things! PS I quit cold turkey 5 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week end!

I have to admit its a bit weird...:))
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, I quit cold turkey 14 years ago and it ranks up there with one of the best impulse decisions I've ever made.
ReplyDeleteInteresting expression of art Butts as a medium
It is so hard to quit. I really admire your determination.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the smell! True, it could be a bit nasty. The shell is almost 5 feet long, and I think all the butts were collected on beaches!
ReplyDeletemercy!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what else to say...

How unusual! Did it smell like stale cigarettes?
ReplyDeleteJane (artfully graced)
