Okay. I'm all for upcycling. And these things are pretty cool. But the thought of doing the art makes me wanna upchuck... (and I smoke!)

Don't quite know what to think of that. It's a cute bunny but would you let your children handle it? Would you like to? I think people should just learn to dispose of their cigarettes properly.I know a good joke with cigarette filters but unfortunately it's a joke requiring the involvement of at least two people and extras for the laugh factor.

Maybe this clip is appropriate for thanking you for your apt advice re: willy wonky. Hard to fathom some folks.
Anyway, Peace and Love, Justice and Equality.

He uses cigarette butts in some of his upcycled art projects.  The above sculpture entitled “Filter Rabbit” uses the unraveled filters of smoked cigarettes to create a furry appearance to the bunny.  It obviously smells strongly of tobacco but looks completely adorable.  The filters really do give the rabbit a much needed realistic touch of fur.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://greenupgrader.com/5572/green-cigarette-butts/"><P>This piece, aptly titled “Shell” is comprised of cigarette butts that the artist found in parking lots near the beach in Rhode Island.  The butts are unrecognizable from a distance as anything besides alternating colors.  Close up, the ugly truth becomes more apparent.  It’s amazing how a true artist can see raw materials in a different way than the average person.  One person sees garbage and the next sees hope for that garbage’s regeneration.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ADD1767D-5B99-4A4C-94E2-7085FF7D362D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
