My name is Margaux Lange. I make Art Jewelry out of Barbie doll parts and sterling silver. This is just a taste of the many colorful responses about my work found online.
Thanks interweb you're the BEST!

Why is this disturbing or creepy? It is only doll parts, it isn’t like it is actual human. Very good though– I especially like the necklace of Ken (or whomever) kissing Barbie. Get a grip people, it’s not like the human caterpillar.

That΄s really great and genuinely inspired work. They bear some resemblance to the polychrome decoration of Hindu temples. Freaky, maybe, but the very plastic body of Barbie is freaky and inhuman.
“ Discordany
I also found most of these incredibly creative, but creepy. However, I am torn on the one of Ken “kissing” Barbie. Something about that one was less eerie, and I’d be tempted to buy it.
“ ~The Squiggle God~
I agree. Creative, but I’d rather not wear barbie doll body parts. Although…I have actually tried to make stuff like this before..
“ 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.. .
