i'm a barbie girl... literally!

.

I just love it when somebody out there gets to turn some everyday object into a fashion item. I mean come on... Barbies? As jewelery? I would never thought that it could have been possibile (I'm talking about using the ACTUAL Barbies as accessories, otherwise Barbie has its own brand of clothing and accessories... not that successful in means of design, let me say).

Margaux Lange describes herself as: "I'm an Art jeweler, who re-Members Barbie fondly… Barbie was immensely important in fueling my creative life as a child, and ironically continues to be such for me as an adult. My Plastic Body Series Jewelry Collection is the result of my life-long fascination with the icon, and a desire to re-purpose mass produced materials into handmade, wearable artworks."

She's very talented. I think her blog's worth a look given that it's not an easy task finding all those barbies, cutting them into different bits and re-creating them as bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc.

What can I say? I'm dying to get my hands on one! Check her blog at: "http://midgesmind.blogspot.com/"
