| This piece is still one of my own favorites
even though I did it nearly 15 years ago. I was a newly-minted fashion
illustrator who had no interest in modern clothes, I prefered vintage fashions
and movie costumes. Of course the ruby slippers are the ultimate shoes.
I have since become a professional paper doll artist and can indulge my
passion for fashions of the past to my heart's content. Interested parties
can see more of my artwork on my website at: Collectible
Paper Dolls
This is a plaster statue of Dorothy I painted
over 20 years ago. Her feet came out dark in the pic, but she is wearing
red-sequined slippers.
I drew this picture of Dorothy in the fifth
grade (1970).
This is the artwork that appeared on the
cover of the original sound- track album that came out around 1970. I seem
to recall that it had an ad tie-in with Singer at the time, you could buy
it at those stores.
Anyway, I always found it curious that
all mention of the ruby slippers was deleted from the dialogue on the album.
Dorothy is obviously wearing the shoes on the cover but they have been
colored black. The artist also did her dress in pink for some reason.
I thought this might make an interesting
curiosity to put on the website.
