No, thanks to you! Your painted shoes are great... I'm thinking on painting a pair of shoes for me this summer holidays... but my painting skills are not as good as yours!!! I think I will try to start with a very cheap pair of shoes...
Just one question, if you don't mind aswering... you know about any good tutorial on painting clothes? Or you learned alone?
(Sorry for my english... I'm from Barcelona, so my english is not very good... )

No worries, your English is fine. ^_^

STENCILRY has a lot of good information if your just getting started, and there are a couple of tutorials that are really easy to follow. They explain what types of paints to use, how to heat set, how to make stencils, basically everything.

I personally use Speedball Screenprinting paint, I think its the best quality and longest lasting of everything I've used. But painting freehand on fabric is just the same as painting on paper, though you need to remember that the thicker the coat of paint is the more likely it is that it is going to crack when you wear it. So use just as much paint as you need, no more.

Good luck! :]
