Ashlee Baracy as a Barbie

Matthew Richmond came up with the idea to make a barbie version of Ashlee Baracy as a thank you for wearing his dress and my jewelry. The dress is an exact replica of the paper dress she wore to the NAIAS Auto Show Charity Preview and it is incredible! I made mini jewelry and even the graphics for the box. It turned out awesome! We also dropped off organic cookies shaped and decorated like dresses from Amber Kimmel of 2 Cute 2 Eat.  And it was mentioned on the news this morning: http://www.clickondetroit.com/seenon4/Local-4-s-Ashlee-Baracy-has-her-own-Barbie-look-alike/-/1719000/8498492/-/8n4m9i/-/index.html<br /><br />Thank you Ashlee, Jon, and the Channel 4 team for being so good to us!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVdiCMTrKg9M_aZKvfSapnbPVv-Os4_Gsx8nVe6K5HstXxliPQr_laR4aIvPyiIylVDU2PLktC-EAxRi2IZpbll_N9KkuRpbOvNJLjIEoOOI-H8WBmyZUzCM_LR6hiTdIvy-QgMcQp43M/s1600/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVdiCMTrKg9M_aZKvfSapnbPVv-Os4_Gsx8nVe6K5HstXxliPQr_laR4aIvPyiIylVDU2PLktC-EAxRi2IZpbll_N9KkuRpbOvNJLjIEoOOI-H8WBmyZUzCM_LR6hiTdIvy-QgMcQp43M/s320/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-4.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9wOSgwAqrERQfZub_Zt5aIoltBpWYtU_Dz_xcxFeMywMbJflBXgfyXAn8PnDGg3ijfwtP37bbhZQMPJVMfvyXvKMvuTj0HG1xZHaKxqEuDDxi2HKUEQL5GK4rSWGOp6X9RGGZ3ciXYfI/s1600/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9wOSgwAqrERQfZub_Zt5aIoltBpWYtU_Dz_xcxFeMywMbJflBXgfyXAn8PnDGg3ijfwtP37bbhZQMPJVMfvyXvKMvuTj0HG1xZHaKxqEuDDxi2HKUEQL5GK4rSWGOp6X9RGGZ3ciXYfI/s320/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-6.jpg" width="231" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJA5EcoOcfuuveGtfZrnL58dk68tK-JArhcoLoWvIR7tOqLZRukxJiTjSFd4IFQOg0hvBmkofDupkCVD4etLl5Rjs_Xmyub4TFbSiOVSA8kbqCnlbHPgpJ0iR8kx0ItHknzcqIyHB1mI/s1600/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJA5EcoOcfuuveGtfZrnL58dk68tK-JArhcoLoWvIR7tOqLZRukxJiTjSFd4IFQOg0hvBmkofDupkCVD4etLl5Rjs_Xmyub4TFbSiOVSA8kbqCnlbHPgpJ0iR8kx0ItHknzcqIyHB1mI/s320/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-9.jpg" width="175" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS-iCvNR8s3ojmWnf7N8AtiqKQKCGPYjMWd4nSDYRnuhtA7LyfNYxLT9mHH8a3IhY-I1pzioyVW9Ew6-i7YB65-jDB0FYn7QOI8VPl7_v2ZFI4QwYCi3ldybPtAj0dHh_7ahS9GGfLX5U/s1600/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS-iCvNR8s3ojmWnf7N8AtiqKQKCGPYjMWd4nSDYRnuhtA7LyfNYxLT9mHH8a3IhY-I1pzioyVW9Ew6-i7YB65-jDB0FYn7QOI8VPl7_v2ZFI4QwYCi3ldybPtAj0dHh_7ahS9GGfLX5U/s320/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-10.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigu75NwNPMa4QS5np1lsppyGABBP91IvaP-bGmQOMpSnnlu18EW5qcKV2-TG9-HEssvgBePO3lhX_4G7ZP6Q8pfLMOEpZPp239HRYLFF6p0zvIwrT9MsfCWmDTn115bChy80VkUz3PTPc/s1600/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigu75NwNPMa4QS5np1lsppyGABBP91IvaP-bGmQOMpSnnlu18EW5qcKV2-TG9-HEssvgBePO3lhX_4G7ZP6Q8pfLMOEpZPp239HRYLFF6p0zvIwrT9MsfCWmDTn115bChy80VkUz3PTPc/s320/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-11.jpg" width="175" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNhYs1jr4K6hh3-3RdPcxXx3tG1RZMuI5hl5BymwPou5SMGoOAqW_7uU2hnMKM45FiCzlJuQiuVSmGgildhVM02SCygyUi-u8gbvJHZj1HyXa1POOTe2tbJwRCiA1-vR4rikI8We7etDo/s1600/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNhYs1jr4K6hh3-3RdPcxXx3tG1RZMuI5hl5BymwPou5SMGoOAqW_7uU2hnMKM45FiCzlJuQiuVSmGgildhVM02SCygyUi-u8gbvJHZj1HyXa1POOTe2tbJwRCiA1-vR4rikI8We7etDo/s320/Ashelle+Baracy+Matt+Richmond+Barbie-13.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br />

Jewelry Made from Auto Parts & Paper Dress on Dateline Detroit

A few weeks ago, my friend and amazingly creative designer Matthew Richmond told me he was contacted by Channel 4 style editor Jon Jordan to make a dress out of automotive brochures for the lovely Ashlee Baracy, traffic reporter and former Miss Michigan to wear to the Auto Show Charity Preview. Then he asked me if I could make her jewelry out of auto parts. Of course my answer was yes (followed by a little squeal if you must know)! As you probably have already seen on my blog, Matt doesn't just design dresses using traditional materials. He makes his fashion sculptures out of recycled materials like paper, plastic, and even VHS tape.  They may be sculptures but they are in fact very wearable. Channel 4 came to his studio area to shoot us creating and talking about our work. We arranged for models to wear four of his dresses: two that he made out of my photographs, the VHS tape dress, and the stunningly beautiful ball gown made out of Kroger grocery bags. <div><br /></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMK9hH881o41aIliMrEmiMyatYl4KCAuwvaYCgKKMUTys0TBp-CTU1Q0MGZ8yKza2LyTV_xWd0cmRJhMqKdX_TlC6feIjnKNdIicnW6bxvA_PNITW8QwU06s_GirzF1e-RIxcgEjYijo/s1600/IMG_0838.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMK9hH881o41aIliMrEmiMyatYl4KCAuwvaYCgKKMUTys0TBp-CTU1Q0MGZ8yKza2LyTV_xWd0cmRJhMqKdX_TlC6feIjnKNdIicnW6bxvA_PNITW8QwU06s_GirzF1e-RIxcgEjYijo/s320/IMG_0838.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaE-J-X1pEJjKm3t7cqJRfFlmxvUItXwGaLKZYze3KoSDpTW1QB3dbB6WuMpT2tJ1FU2hNTLhr7lKIWqvZaI-bTCGfKKUGKXxzzig01vSfALGNdOg6FnD23_3IoGiFO1AJlfTmOawRaGU/s1600/IMG_1089.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaE-J-X1pEJjKm3t7cqJRfFlmxvUItXwGaLKZYze3KoSDpTW1QB3dbB6WuMpT2tJ1FU2hNTLhr7lKIWqvZaI-bTCGfKKUGKXxzzig01vSfALGNdOg6FnD23_3IoGiFO1AJlfTmOawRaGU/s320/IMG_1089.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-jpOG9ABAULbHX-MeBDO8om3S1Ne1BoeVwKTBwZO2Z_IQvZC1OBNnY4OdZwJqFBt1p3CYhd92sVWmrG2k-U1lVYGJTdkKKsW-FsC2_c7eibakGJFKd8A8LhIWHrrvtFomRvkG4Hca_kY/s1600/IMG_0860.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-jpOG9ABAULbHX-MeBDO8om3S1Ne1BoeVwKTBwZO2Z_IQvZC1OBNnY4OdZwJqFBt1p3CYhd92sVWmrG2k-U1lVYGJTdkKKsW-FsC2_c7eibakGJFKd8A8LhIWHrrvtFomRvkG4Hca_kY/s320/IMG_0860.JPG" width="280" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq2sjIsq8jBI2hVhy7OZJZZH3Un3VcQA8xVUNSxggx9F0AUzuqMei8AT-g-J7enWvFrXwSAvVwjP2yG4kGXhP-rry5CEq14QCYKJeldejFYXyAtcP3yLz3GJkagsqPUUQqx2Za4I88WBU/s1600/IMG_0859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq2sjIsq8jBI2hVhy7OZJZZH3Un3VcQA8xVUNSxggx9F0AUzuqMei8AT-g-J7enWvFrXwSAvVwjP2yG4kGXhP-rry5CEq14QCYKJeldejFYXyAtcP3yLz3GJkagsqPUUQqx2Za4I88WBU/s320/IMG_0859.JPG" width="319" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I received a box full of little car parts, most of which I had no idea what they even were.
