Angel Barbie Cotton

Angel Barbie Shadow Puppets
Altered Barbie 09 show

When I decided to do the Barbie show, all I had was a crazy idea that I would knock off Barbie, make her an angel, then dress her up in funny outfits. OK I will create Barbie Angels and dress her using paper grocery bags. As I worked I realized that I wanted the shadows to appear on the wall behind her. I wanted Barbie to not only be deceased but become a shadow of her former self; the Angel Barbie Shadow Puppet was born. I removed the stick and placed her in plexiglass so that she could be hung up and collaged the back in an abstract design. The plexiglass size is 8.5 x11.

Meet Cotton, her ears and carrot make a great shadow!
