Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Synthettic Fur: dyeing


Thanks Lisa.
I will see if I an find the Jaquard or other fabric paints locally.

Thanks again, Bill, I just tried with a few markers on the white fur, and it 
does a wonderul job.
The colros are bright and pure and the texture is not affected, no 
niticeable stiffening!
Very subtle! I was able to go pretty close to the backing. No transfer of 
color so far.

I tried black, blue and brown so far, all look great.
The two colors were of the brand Tria (Pantone markers), while the black was 
a Dixon RediMark permanent marker.
The black was much glossier, which gives a nice wet or greasy look, without 
the annoying texture normally associated with it.

experimental:
I sprayed some rubbing alcohol on the dried samples and was able to spread 
the color easily.
Which is a good thing, because it probably means I could dilute an 
alcohol-based ink and use that the same as a dye (brushed or sprayed on) . 
And let's face it, not that many people run around spraying people with 
spray bottles of alcohol, so the color should stay put on the fur.
