Replica of a Replica Assignment

For this assignment, we were asked to replicate a replica that another student had created. I was given Mia's replica of 10 cigarettes. The originals were made with computer paper filled with leaves, and tissues and glue for the filters. Some parts were also painted. For my replica, I used most of the same materials, except for the filters, which are real cigarette filters found in a box in my basement. I took leaves in from the street and grinded them up so I could roll them into the computer paper. I was having trouble with the leaves falling out the end of the cigarettes, so I used a dab of glue in the end of the cigarette, which did not work. I resorted to pinching the ends so the leaves didn't fall out. I used Sobo glue to attach the rolled computer paper and leaves to the filter. Overall, I think that the cigarettes look like cigarettes, but my craft was a little bit weak because of the small scale and possibly because of the unfamiliarity of materials used.
