well, jeg sad lige og klikkede lidt rundt på forskellige sider, hvor jeg fandt nogle virkelig fabelagtige smukker, som jeg vil dele med jer, og også meget gerne høre jeres mening om!

Smykkerne er simpelthen lavet af intet mindre end BARBIE kropsdele : D

kunsteren der har lavet smykkerne hedder Margaux og er fra brokelyn LA.

Jeg synes de er for fede, og jeg gad virkelig godt eje et af disse smykker :D min personlige farvorit er ansigts armbåndet / øverste billede !

et lille uddrag fra et interview med Margaux:

Margaux, would you describe your work for us?

My Plastic Body Series is art jewelry made with sterling silver, Barbie dolls and epoxy resin. It is an examination and celebration of my own, as well as our culture’s, relationship with Barbie.

How did you first get the idea to make jewelry out of Barbie dolls?

Barbie made her debut in my artwork in high school. I once did a project where I took a bunch of Barbie dolls and delicately painted on their plastic bodies, transforming each of them to look like something else. One was made into a carrot, another a zebra, etc. I even painted one with a suit and tie, a beard and a moustache to look like a man. Later in college I did a series of drawings: self-portraits of myself holding Barbie dolls, balancing her on my head, sitting her on my shoulder, in a sense wearing her. I was interested in combining alternative materials and/or found objects into my metalwork so it was really only a matter of time before she became a part of my jewelry.

Jewelry seemed the best form for my art in exploring the subjects I was interested in. It made sense to address issues involving women and the body through jewelry, (a form of adornment predominantly associated with females) using Barbie, the ultimate female icon. The queen of accessorizing became the accessory!

Is there a tool or material that you can’t imagine living without?

Barbie and Ken!

What inspires you to create?
Humans are especially what inspire me to create. Bodies. Faces. Popular culture. Barbie. And other artists and art jewelers who make fabulous work. I’m drawn to art that employs multiples of something, patterns, work that plays with our sense of scale and art made out of found, unexpected or unusual materials.
