Subject: PUPT: Airbrushing dyes?


Hello!

I am needing to airbrush a bird puppet I am building... I am looking for a
dye that I can airbrush onto both synthetic (fake fur) and natural
(feathers) materials, and is water-resistant when dry. I will not be able
to rinse the puppet to remove excess dye, what's on it will need to stay
there, (and not run or smear everywhere if the puppet gets water on it
inadvertantly).

The airbrush dyes I have seen at Dick Blick seem to be only for natural
materials, and the silk paint they had suggested, while it appears like a
dye when in the jar, actually dries all clumpy and solid like paint. :(

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
	-Monica R.
