Thank you for the wonderful compliments!

I used Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Colors. And yes, painting on fabric is a little tricky. There is a lot of drag but if you add too much water the paint soaks into the fabric. Once you get a base coat down it's pretty much like working on a canvas. The finished product is very stiff so I wouldn't recommend these paint for painting on clothing.
