Alchemy is Etsy's system for requesting custom items. A buyer describes the item they would like and the seller responds with the details of the item they can create. Read about how Alchemy works in our Alchemy Overview.
1. Look through the ones I currently have for sale(or have been sold, hopefully). If you like the style of a shoe I've done, but it isn't in your size(or has been sold -finger cross-), you can request a duplicate. Just be sure to put: the style, your shoe size, and any alterations you'd like.
2. You can send me an old pair/new pair of shoes to decorate for you. They must be either dyeable(like bridesmaid's shoes) or cork/vinyl if heels, or plain white cloth(like converses) if sneakers. Simply state in the request that you're sending me a pair of shoes(pictures are nice but not necessary), what material they're made out of, and any specifications of what you want on them. Be aware that I do patterns and abstracts, etc. No people or anything overly complicated. Look through my gallery to see what I can do.
3. Pretty much the same thing as the above, except I get the shoes for you. If you like any of the styles of my previous pairs, you can request those shoes with a different design, or give me a few guidelines on what kind of shoes you'd like-- such as how high the heel should be, what kind of wear you're putting on them, support for the back or no, and most importantly, price. And as the above specify the design. I will send you a picture of the shoes before painting to be sure you're happy with them.
For all of these; I will try to be fast and do them within the week, but be aware that things may come up and I may be unable to get them to you that fast. All shoes I use(unless you send them to me) are new. I will send you a picture after I finish painting to make sure you're happy with them. If there's something wrong with them I will do alterations, but keep in mind this is paint so adding is easy, but I usually can't take things away. I use high-quality acrylic paints and all shoes are sealed with acrylic sealer, so they'll stand up well to wear.
Prices;
They'll cost the price of the shoes(anywhere from $20 to $60, depends on how much you'd like to spend) plus $20-$40 for supplies/my time. Shipping is usually from $10-$15 but may be more/less depending on where you live.
