Texture Tuesdays - Dancing Shoes
This week's theme with Kim Klassen is red. These shoes are Dorthy's red slippers from the Wizard of Oz. According to Widipedia, to create the ruby slippers, the shoes were first dyed red and burgundy sequins were stitched on. The film's early three-strip Technicolor process required the sequins to be darker, as bright red would have appeared orange on the screen. With a little help from Photoshop, they're back to red.
