Fiber Fool

I was quite concerned that my costume conveyed that I was a dentist and not a medical doctor. Yet, my Dremel is not cordless and even if it were it would have been cumbersome to carry that around in my pocket all night (though it would have been kind of fun). So, I decided teeth jewelry would be very appropriate for my costume.

I poked around a bit, though it was really to late to order anything by the time I had this inspiration. It seemed that you were either dealing in animal teeth of some sort or museum pieces if it dealt with human teeth. I was okay with kiddie jewelry, but what I was seeing went a little too far - teeth with smiley faces and the like. So, it seemed the only solution was to make my own scary teeth jewelry.

So, I warmed up my polymer clay in neutral shades and made teeth of all sizes and rotten colors. I poked holes through them and baked them into beads. Some I strung onto waxed black linen for a necklace and some I strung onto some earring findings I bought. The craftsmanship isn’t terrific as I haven’t worked with beads and wire and in some time, but it was the perfect final touch to my costume.
