Photo shoot for the Woven Bag - 4- Pinkie Bear gets a makeover
Yesterday, I told you about some of Pinkie Bear’s adventures at the photo shoot for my new book:
The Woven Bag….
On the last day of the shoot, we finished shooting the step-by-steps before we went to lunch.
We were scheduled to shoot the author portrait in the afternoon, so since I looked be-draggled, weary and snuffly, we went off to Aveda to get a makeover.
Michelle Marx is a wonderful makeup artist! She has her own company, freelancing with makeup artistry.
Her contact info: Michelle
Pinkie decided that she needed a makeover, too, and, luckily, Michelle had the perfect makeup for a small bear!
I went urk when I saw the ‘before’ shot of me, so I deleted it! LOL! And, then we zooted back to get ready for the portrait.
Pinkie wanted to be sure that Christine and Jenni would have good Guardian Angels to look after them when she wasn’t around, so she helped me to make Guardian Angels for them.
Our work in Cincinnati was done, so off Pinkie and I trotted to the airport to trundle on home!
Pinkie liked the flying pig sculpture in the airport, but thought that it really should have been a teddy bear…..
