In the spirit of the upcoming Halloween here is some holiday magic -Steve Casino is a worldwide known artist who uses peanut shells to create his figurines.
You can imagine how much work (and patience) the creation of such an art piece takes. He mentions 20 hours only for the sculpturing, not including the preparing of the peanut.
You can see a glimpse into his process in his Facebook page and although I couldn't find a specific mention of polymer, after asking him about it he said he does. He is using our medium as a base colour (flesh) then placing in the oven for baking before painting.
In his story video he mentioned "wood filler" to smooth the peanut surface.
He also sculpts figures (foil armature) inside tins, boxes or other leftovers objects which get new life with his work.I wonder who eats all the peanuts he takes out of the shells... I'm crazy about nuts :)

Valeria is the founder and designer of the "The Black Hen
Grimoire"/ "Grimoire La poule noire" studio. The reason why the studio decided to take the
name of medieval alchemical treatise about creation of magic artefact is that each
work of "Grimoire" is not only decorative, it's also an attempt to make a person think about
his/hers own place in the world of reality and fantasy.Click to visit her site & Instagram gallery -
