Plastic Body Series Of Barbie

Margaux Lange’s Plastic Body Series (http://www.margauxlange.com/) art jewelry collection recycle Barbie doll parts with sterling silver and pigmented resins. The series is a result of Lange’s desire to re-purpose mass produced materials into handmade, wearable art. It is meant to examine and celebrate her own as well as pop culture’s relationship with the well-known icon: Barbie.



There are many novel jewelry, to see them, I'm afraid you will think you go into the science laboratory, because something are produced by eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands and feet shapes, which are the "terrible" accessories; and these "organs" are from Barbie doll, who is "dismembered". They are fine, with other feeling of fashion, as well as being filled with violence and aesthetic taste.



It is called "Plastic Body Series" of ornaments to make numerous Barbie fans be crazy. It is surprised to find that Barbie's extreme beautiful is expressed through using a special way by people. Barbie's organs have been made into all kinds of bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces, brooches. Some of them are very strange and special, but all of them can be called the "exquisite sculptures".



Most Barbie jewelry is plated with silver oxide, if the jewelry is tacky, well than vast majority of handmade personalization jewelry will surely make you feel so perfect. This is also a way to express what love is.
