DeviantArt for DummiesI am writing this guide for new members or anyone who has questions about deviantART and its members. Please comment if something doesn't make sense or if you need help! Please note, this is NOT a guide to everything on deviantART, just some stuff I thought was worth talking about.
PLZ ACCOUNTS:
What is a "plz" account?
A "plz" account is a deviantART account where the avatar is an emote that you can use in your journals, comments, etc.
How do you use them?
To use them, write :icon(thenameoftheaccount):
An example is :iconsupertighthugplz: which is written as :icon supertighthug plz: (minus the spaces)
Some popular accounts are:
:iconLetmehugyouplz::iconomnomnomnomplz::iconspazhugplz::iconstephencolbertomgplz::iconamgtouchplz::iconawkwardhugplz:
To get the account name, roll your mouse over the image and copy the text you see beginning with an :icon and ending in a :.

Shoe Covering Tutorial Pin Up Styleby ~Lolanova

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Artisan Crafts / Other

I was inspired to makeover a pair of my shoes after seeing a lovely, quirky pair of 'Irregular Choice' shoes. I photographed the process step by step and put it all together in a tutorial for anybody who wants to have a go at making their own.

You can download the tutorial in a PDF from my blog [link]

This is so cool! I have a pair of plain white shoes that I sorta kinda started wanted to make over with fabric paint, but I think this will do way better! I'll have to try this one day (when I have money and cool looking fabric).

Great tutorial, very well put together.

~Lolanova Feb 26, 2013

Thank you very much

This wouldn't really work for my shoes. I have several pairs of pleather boots that my cats scratched up. I'd been wanting to make then over with leather. (which I do have) I just need to find the time & inspiration to do it.

Anyways, Very cool tut. If any of my heal ever get to the point where I dont wanna look at them, I will deff use this guide!

~Lolanova Feb 12, 2013

Thank you

Yes if you were wanting to cover boots with leather then it would be a different method completely... I can imagine it would be quite a lot of work though!

wow i wish i could do this with my converse shoes but i'll end up messing up

~Lolanova Feb 12, 2013

Ooh yes, and converse are expensive too! I did this on a cheapish pair so if it went wrong it wouldn't be so bad...

~AndreaWeasley Feb 12, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

i'd love to try that

~Charmed-Ravenclaw Feb 12, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist
