Teeth and Hair as Jewelry
Slightly Disturbing Designs by Polly van der Glas
Some may find teeth and hair a tad on the side of creepy. However, the edgy jewelry designer Polly van der Glas’ one of kind pieces are definitely eye-catching. Yikes, let’s not give her any ideas! Based in Melbourne, Polly is gratefully accepting donations of teeth and hair from her family members which she resourcefully turns into bracelets, earrings rings and pendants. I only wonder why these teeth, which look to be dental samples of excellence, are being extracted and offered up for art. Polly can be reached at pollypollypollypolly [at] hotmail.com should you want a piece of her family for your very own.
