Skipped a tag and wing since there’s enough going on here as it is. Need to re-visit the pink dye formula - worked okay for feathers but in order to get the right shade on the ungulate I couldn’t leave it in the dye bath long enough to soak thru (hence the light/white butts on the trimmed hair). When it did soak thru, the color was way too deep (a neat shade of hot red that will be used somewhere).
