Old leather belts from the thrift store are a great way to reuse & renew old materials and give them new life 😊

Do you need to wear a mask when sanding with the Dremel. Thank you for all of this information.

[@jasminjwhite]

Thank you for sharing! Also, please be careful to wear a mask and glasses when sanding these! The dust is highly toxic for our lungs/eyes and over time can cause disease.

I love your presentation..and was wondering where you get your shells..I tried ordering some and I received a bag of very small pieces only.

[@karryvalencia1901]

Beautiful work!!! I just got the things to make some but I ordered my dentalliums shells from Etsy & they look almost see through in some spots

[@Specimen011]

​@Powwow Styles Where do you purchase dentaliums?

[@kathybegay7963]

Do you wear a mask when clipping and sanding the shells? I have never worked with them in fear of their toxicity. I already get migraines on the regular. I don't want to add fuel to the fire. Do you experience any side effects from working with denatalium?

The guy in Wetaskiwin gets it wholesale from the guy in Unity Saskatchewan, how do I know this? cause I work there
What did he charge you for a bag?
If you buy wholesale Mavericks Tannery it’s probably a lot cheaper
