You are so generous with your ideas and techniques. I just purchased some lumiere paint from you to paint a pair of shoes that I am going to strass. Your hand-written note on the invoice was very sweet and your shipping and service were lightning fast!You are a breath of fresh air :-) I will surely recommend you to all of my artsy friends. Thank you!!!

J, you're welcome! It was fun -- and gave us a chance to convey some techniques and tips that words alone can't really do. Look for more in future posts!

Woo hoo! Thanks for making this video tutorial, I've been thinking about painting some clogs for a while and I'm shocked that there wasn't more info on the internet about how to tackle it.

WHY "GLITTER SWEATSHOP"?
As you might know, we invented a glitter glaze that works on leather, manmade leather and fabric. It comes with a bottle of paint base and a little packet of glitter. Now, someone has to open the big jars of glitter that come from the glitter elves and spoon just the right amount of each of the 21 colors into their packets. Being the head honcho, Margot is that someone. Problem is, she's not the tidiest person in the Western hemisphere and after 20 or so packets, there are a lot of microscopic (but fetchingly sparkly) particles of glitter in her hair, on her cheeks, and decorating her nose. One day someone came in during this process and remarked, "This place looks like a glitter sweatshop!"
