Super Heroes To The Rescue!
You must have heard of Alter Ego by Erika Walton. If you haven't this is how she explains her work "Alter Ego recycles vintage toys from the 1950's - 1990's and incorporates them with semi-precious stones, beads and charms to create unique, hand crafted pieces to treasure forever."
Can you picture what her work looks like? Trust me, probably not! Erika Walton's designs are not like something that you would see everywhere. Her imagination and designs go to places that not a lot of jewelry designers can go.
I am a huge fan of comic book characters. Doesn't matter if it's DC or Marvel, I love the characters and their stories. I know that they are never forgotten, they make movies, cartoons, prints and many new and different versions of them. BUT, seeing them being used as jewelry pieces makes Erika's work more interesting. And the fact that the vintage toys are being used is a big plus.
Being said that, now you're wondering what's this have to do with Pretty In Plastic? We are proud to say that Pretty In Plastic & Erika Walton worked together for the Erika Walton Jewelry Superhero Collection. And if you ask me, they look superb!!
You can find the Superhero collection on Alter Ego website:
I definitely want one of these!
