Cigarette shoe

This shoe, my friends, is a one of a kind.  It doesn't even have a right foot match.  Inspired by the vibrant, yarn, wax paper, and found material mixed media work of Vadis Turner, I made it out of cigarettes, matches, and a thin metal fire extinguisher sign.  Here's where everything comes from:
Cigarettes, Natural American Spirits, from a Duane Reade in the east village.
Matches - A gift from my India-loving friend Lindsay.
White foam insole - Free with a pair of M by MJ flats that I bought half a size to big, on Bleeker Street.
Tan canvas - Cut from a bag made by Loop, with Andy Warhol screenprinted to the front.
Fire extinguisher sign - From Blaustein's hardware, on Bleeker Street.
Coathanger - You can hardly see it, but it's between the insole and the canvas.  I cut it from a coathanger, from a drycleaner on 7th Avenue.  I had to buy a semi-serious wirecutter to do it, and that too is from Blaustein's.
