I used to dye nylons with regular fabric dye, and some colours take really
well (if you use white nylons to begin with). I think yellow will com out
nice and bright. Don't use too hot water so not to burn the stocking.

As for Lisa Lichtenfels, I wrote her on one occasions with the same
question, and she recommended "doll skin", a fabric commonly used by doll
makers for face. It comes in all sort of skin tones, and can be ordered
through doll supply sites. I ordered a piece, but it wasn't like stockings,
it was thick and none translucent (which is what I want). I think Lisa uses
stockings. I even wrote to manufacturers, but never got a response from
them.

Hi folks,

Every year my mother in law does this "chick on a stick" Easter puppet
thing.  She always calls me looking for yellow panty hose.  I never have
any. Her sources have largely dried up.  Can I just buy a bunch of cheap
white one and dye them yellow?  I could give her several years supply
for Christmas.  She is really hard to buy for.

While I am at it, it there a good source out there so pantyhose like
material by the yard?  Or do pantyhose just get extruded like sausages?

Best wishes!

I've never dyed the entire pair of panty hose. But I can tell you that the
control top part of them dyes VERY well. I cut off the control top part of a
white pair and then dye small pieces and use them for eye lids on some of my
blinking eye puppets. I've never had any problem and I've used many
variations and mixtures of powder dyes that are available at Joann's
fabrics.

Joann's fabrics also sells dance & swim wear fabric which is essentially
spandex or spandex blends. It has a two way stretch, but isn't transparent
like panty hose so I'm not sure what properties are priority for you.

Hope this helps, =)
-Michele

Hi Terri.
The best person to know if such a nylon material is sold by the yard would
probably be Lisa Lichtenfels.
Her amazing soft sculptures (Art Dolls and Puppets) are made of that nylon
material (for the skin).

Her website:
http://www.lisalichtenfels.net/
judging by the awesome mermaid on her entrance page, I'd guess nylon fabric
of this type can be dyed (tail and leg gradient is so subtle.

Make sure to read the Techniques section, it's a good article about how she
started and how she does it.

Terri,
This subject of this thread reminds me of a Monty Python skit from long

nylon dyes beautifully with boiling Rit dye.
...so you can dye white tights...

you can make them from various stretch fabrics,,,
try Spandex House for fabric and patterns

Hi,

In my day I just went out and bought L'eggs panty hose. They come in
a variety of colors. At Easter time they always stocked blue, pink
and yellow.  Check out Dollor stores.  Whenever I had a residency at
a school I put out a call  for panty hose and ended up with more than
I needed. Try Costco, Target  and similar stores as well. Colored
panty hose is in. Just find the cheap kind........

Never met Wil, either, but sure did enjoy his posts......he will definitely
be missed.

If anyone has a copy of Will's Punch and Judy timeline that he put together
for the 1999 Seattle POA Festival, would you let me know, please? The
Worldwide Friends of Punch and Judy would like to publish it on our web

I highly recommend the first series, and looking forward to watch the
second.
It's good that they have been divided in three parts.
