It was only a matter of time before someone put two and two together to create a Chewbacca sculpture out of chewing tabacco, which is essentially the best way to describe Chewbacco by Terry Border. Not only do the names sound eerily similar -- especially when you slur 'chewing tabacco' together -- the texture, color and consistency of the substance really looks like the fur that covers Chewbacca's entire body.
That said, the mini sculpture Chewbacco by Terry Border is a completely natural undertaking. It is made out of one plastic snuf container, some wire armature, dried chewing tobacco and glue while the 'belt' was fashioned out of electrical and duct tape.
Known for his blog Bent Objects, Border is no stranger to creating characters out of mundane objects. Yet, the sculpture Chewbacco by Terry Border is definitely his best one yet.
