I'm glad you all liked the step by step for the ruby Red Slipper.
I was in the office the day they shot the step by step and Samuel (the Geek) just handed me the brush and said, "You do it"!!
So I did it .. first time I had ever used the Metro powders and we did it in one take. There was only one nail to do as I think Samuel or Diane Plummer had already done the others and they had been rebalanced several times. I thought the finished photo was a lovely shot as well, and it was Danni (Samantha's assistant) who composed the hands ... very pretty!!
Just a little insider info for ya ... I always love to hear these stories.
