Nut Sculptures

No, not sculpures of nuts
I'm after a bit of help. I went to the Autosport show in the new year and saw a stall selling sculptures made of welded stainless nuts. Not the nuts and bolts type figures, but I think there were faces and torso shapes kind of like Oscar awards and I can't now find anywhere that sells them. Its probably I'm not using the right keywords on Google as ever so can anybody help?

Nope, not that type.
The one that I remember looked as though the artist had laid a load of nuts onto a girls torso and then welded them together and sprayed laquer all over. It was a really good effect.

Steve, you're a star. Thanks mate. I don't know what it is, I just seem rubbish at Google searching.
