If you've ever seen the first Toy Story movie, you'll remember Andy's nasty neighbor Sid who took toys and reconstructed them to resemble scary robotic creatures. Well, Margaux Lange has done the same thing, only - not so scary. Using parts of Barbie doll's, Margaux re-constructs evey part of the iconic toy - head to toe - into beautiful statement pieces. She hand crafts one of a kind necklaces, brooches, and bracelets - selling anywhere from $130-$220. Margaux's Plastic Body Series art is getting international acclaim! One of my favorite pieces is the Smiley Necklace made from 29 Barbie mouths, the colors and style's are AMAZING! Her line also includes a circular pin made out of Barbie arms and earrings made out of Barbie ears, not to mention a ring made out of Ken's abs...yes, you read that correctly - Ken's six pack on a ring, how could it be better? To some, the jewelry may sound a little creepy, which is understandable - wearing body parts around your own. However, when you see the fantastic work Margaux has done, you'd be surprised. Margaux has been published in many books and have been displayed in a number of art galleries. Her unique pieces of Barbie jewelry are quirky and cool, but still have a high end feel to it - which is exactly why I LOVE it!! Text Jessica Moy
