The Formation of the Earth and the Cornish Tin Mine Weren't the Only Things Smoking

Background of the forming Earth (did you know at one time the moon was only 10,000 miles away from our planet?) from my trusty vintage Time-Life Nature book about planet Earth.  The Cornish Tin Mine is one of David Winter's collectible mini buildings!  (I added the plume of smoke.)  The couple smoking a cigarette is from a vintage Chesterfield cigarette advertisement.

    1. Thanks Viv! I wanted to use the smoking couple in a special piece and it worked out rather well to add them to this collage.

  4. I like the glow of the cigarette and the ease of mind of both of them in combination with the staving meteorites. Very clever combined!
