Rachel Betty Case has made these anatomical oddities from what she refers to as ‘human ivory’, that is, finger and toe nail clippings, although they are neither bone nor teeth, which she fully acknowledges.

You can purchase through her Etsy, and if you’d like a custom piece you’re free to send your very own clippings to her.

How… resourceful?

    Hey, it reminds me of the works Tim Hawkinson did with his own hair, skin, and nail clippings.
