"The Good, The Bad, and The Barbie"

I was recently published in the amazing book, The Good The Bad and The Barbie: a Doll's History and Her Impact on Us by Tanya Lee Stone, 2010.


I'm proud to say that my work has been published in a total of 12 books thus far, however this particular feature holds a very special place in my heart. To appear in a book about BARBIE is a crazy honor for me!

A photo of me in my studio along with my Busted Heart Neckpiece can be found on page 98 along with blurbs about me and my work, continuing onto pages 99 and 100. (click images to enlarge.)


On pages 54 and 55, I was quoted talking about how I used to cut the heels off of my Barbie doll's pumps when I was little…

And my Smiley Necklace also appears in full color on page 82:

Many, MANY thanks to Tanya for the opportunity to be included in this amazing book. It really is a must read for any Barbie lover -or hater. Available on amazon.

Interview on Hannah Zakari

Retailer Hannah Zakari of Edinburgh interviewed me for the debut of their new website!

Alumni Press

Juxtapositions is the alumni publication of the Maryland Institute College of Art (my alma mater) and the current issue features an article on wearable Art jewelry made by MICA alumnae.


Additionally, on the MICA website I'm featured in an extended interview, answering questions such as: "What are your thoughts about the idea that jewelry is wearable sculpture?" For the full feature and to read my interview visit: fyi.mica.edu

It feels nice to be recognized by my old college, however it's slightly disappointing that the concept and validity of jewelry as Art --with a capital A-- still requires explaining in this day and age (particularly to an Art school *sigh*)

Jewelry/metals unfortunately was not offered as a major at MICA, however there was an off-campus jewelry center, which always felt a bit like the red-headed stepchild of the school. The work that was created there was not given exhibition space in any of the main campus galleries and many students didn't even know the center existed. Alas, perhaps our alumni insights will shed some light on the world of Art jewelry for Juxtapositions readers and give the MICA jewelry Center the attention it deserves.

Celebrating 70 in Ornament Magazine

There is a fabulous four page spread in the latest issue of Ornament Magazine (volume 33 No. 5) which features an article about Karen Lorene and this past summer's Celebrating 70 Exhibition at Facéré Jewelry Art Gallery in Seattle, WA. A photo of each jewelry piece created by the 70 artists invited to participate in the exhibition (including yours truly) can be seen in the Ornament article. I was thrilled to discover that my piece, Breast to Breast Brooch: Homage to Ruth Handler received special mention closing out the end of the article. It reads:

"Margaux Lange distilled her idea for the year 2002 to seven pink plastic orbs buzzed into what appears to be an abstract brooch. The orbs actually are pink plastic Barbie doll breasts. Breast to Breast: Homage to Ruth Handler, commemorates the extraordinary careers of Ruth Handler (1916 - 2002), the woman who not only invented the Barbie doll, but who, after her own mastectomy, went on to found a company that made prosthetic breasts for cancer survivors. Lange wrote, "Handler made an immeasurable impact on the lives of younger girls and older women. I felt that was worth honoring."

An exhibition during this year's American Conservation Film Festival in Shepherdstown, West Virginia will be opening November 4, 2010 and on view through November 7, 2010. The show will be on display in a beautiful gallery next to film festival headquarters at The National Conservation Training Center.

The exhibition is a collaboration between film festival organizers and the artist, author and well known blogger Garth Johnson of Extreme Craft, who has been busy lecturing around the country with his latest book "1000 Ideas For Creative Reuse" of which I had the great pleasure of getting published in (pages: 114, 115.)


Garth contacted me to see if I would like to be a part of this exhibition and I said sure! I will have two pieces on display, my Left Open Armlet (as seen above) and my Half Moon Hand Necklace on Torque. If you'll be in Shepherdstown, West Virginia Nov. 4th-7th go check it out!

Reasons to be Pretty

A designer for the Tempe, AZ theatre company, Stray Cat Theatre contacted me recently about using a photo of my Smile & Eye Bracelet for their seasonal postcard announcing Reasons to be Pretty a play by Neil LaBute, directed by April Miller. I was more than happy to provide the image. (You never know what an unlikely connection/opportunity could lead to!) An ad for my website will also be appearing in the playbill.

From the Stray Cat Theatre website:

"A love story about the near impossibility of love, REASONS TO BE PRETTY introduces us to Greg, who really, truly adores his girlfriend, Steph. Unfortunately, he also thinks she has a few physical imperfections, and when he casually mentions them, all hell breaks loose. A hopelessly romantic drama about the hopelessness of romance, REASONS TO BE PRETTY has been celebrated as some of the freshest and most illuminating American dialogue to be heard anywhere these days… a fresh take on the eternal matter of achieving adulthood."

My interest in this play has been officially peaked. Have you gone to see this play? If so, I'd love to hear what you thought of it! Many thanks to Cameo Hill and Stray Cat Theatre for the opportunity.
