Barbie Strikes Again

See the link below for info on the artist who made this great brooch

No, "bricolage" is not a synonym for Barbie dismemberment, but the link that Karen Frazer posted on Facebook was just too good to pass up. Take a look at this http://www.ecouterre.com/artist-dismembers-barbie-turns-body-parts-into-disturbing-jewelry/barbie-mouth-brooch/ . This jewelry is very well done because you wouldn't recognize it as Barbie parts right away. But once you see it for what it is, there's a whole other level of meaning.

The whole trick is making it your own. Yes, that's right: take it away from Barbie (and/or Ken) and make it yours.


You can tell that Barbie was popular before the era of Botoxed lips

Thanks for thinking of me, Karen!

  1. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something. I think
    that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog.
    A great read. I will certainly be back.
