Barbie Dolls Crafted Into Jewelry By Artist Margaux Lange

Like most Barbie doll obsessions, artist Margaux Lange's began as a child.

See Lange's bizarre Barbie Plastic Body Series art jewelry collection made from salvaged Barbie doll parts and accessories.
Secured with hand-fabricated sterling silver and pigmented resins, no piece gets left behind.

This isn't the first time dismembered Barbies have grabbed headlines. Back in June Nokia used Barbie parts to sell the Nokia N8 Pink cellphone.

Cool and sick at the same time. I like it.

The necklace with boobs, that look like hearts with a big flower is pretty cool.

I see nothing but 5 sets of boobs with silver nipple caps.

maybe I missed it in the reading, but... are those t- or a-? That's the point, right?

I like the breasts and the bracelet made of shoes... the others, particularly the ones with faces and hands are somewhat disturbing.

I guess as 'art' it accomplishes its goal, which is to be interesting and evocative in some way.. .

This is exactly what I was going to post. The others sort of creep me out. And I still own all of my Barbie dolls. Even my Cher doll and Donny and Marie dolls.

Now THAT person is a creative thinker. So well done. Stuck with a theme and went for it.
