An Artist Creates Tiny Statues From… Peanut Shells! And You Will Love Every One Of Them!


Steve Casino has spent the last two years creating the tiny figures you are about to see out of peanut shells. So far, his creative skills have been focused on his favorite celebrities, which feature Elvis Presley, David Bowie and, of course, Albert Einstein.
Altogether, Casino has made about 100 of the tiny statues and here is a select sample. Enjoy!
