Corlette is one hip Clevelander with a story to tell. But what's almost more interesting than his stories is what he uses to tell them--pistachio nut shells! It all started when he tried to entertain his children while waiting for a doctor's appointment. As the children grew restless, Corlette pulled out a handful of pistachios from his pocket, divied them up, and started drawing faces on the nuts in one child's hand and a body on the child's palm. Although some may have thought Corlette was nuts, the entertaining trick took off and soon he was incorporating pistachios into paintings and drawings. Now, there is no end to Corlette's nutty projects, from men's ties to women's bracelets and decorative bar stools to playful children's shadow boxes.
