DVD description:
Expand your jewelry and mixed media art with the limitless possibilities of Faux Bone. This non-toxic and seemingly indestructible material has the look of bone but is completely animal-free. In this workshop, innovative jewelry artist Robert Dancik provides a great introduction to Faux Bone and jewelry making basics.

Robert introduces jewelry tools and the basics of shaping Faux Bone with lessons on sawing, sanding, drilling, and polishing. You'll learn to make rivets and add microfasteners and how to combine Faux Bone with resin and metal clay. Robert uses materials easily found in your local hardware store or your craft closet.

You'll combine your new skills to create a finished Faux Bone pendant. You'll carve an original design and add character by polishing and antiquing.

You don't need much to get started, and the potential for this new substance is endless. Explore its texture and design possibilities in Faux Bone Jewelry: Tools and Techniques with Robert Dancik.

Interesting, I have just been using those large basted dog bones (from a cows leg), they're cheep and yield lots of material. I realize it's not animal free, but regardless of what's done with it, it would be wasted otherwise and I don't dig that either.

Thank you for an alternative, I am definitely not against the idea of using a different material.

Cheers!
