Lovely. I love to paint too. I have done a few embellishments on some of my quilts. I use shiva oil sticks and inks.

Love your shoe block! You have a lot of talent. Wish I could paint.

Well, good morning all. Here is the link to the place I buy the paints at a really good discount.
http://www.hofcraft.com/decoart-so-s...ric-paint.html You can buy 15 or 20 of them without the shipping price going up. When they send the paints, they put in a nice note about using the paints. These mix very well, so I don't buy a trillion colors. When I did the iris quilt I only had 8 bottles...mostly different values of purples/blues, a yellow and 2 different greens. I just got the new shipment in with more variety so I could do these shoes. I can't wait to use the metallic gold on these shoes.

Love it when someone puts some of their diverse talents into quilting, after all are we all artists??

Clever idea.

Thanks Jeannie, now I have to try this. I love painting and be a avid quilter but didn't like the feel of acrylic paints on the material. Problem solved now.

Thank you from me too. Hope I can try this soon too!
