Anyone have any websites or pages or ..whatever...that can explain and suggest methods of dying tieing material. Items such as feathers and so on. Maybe even bleaching also

Type "Dyeing Feathers" or "Kool Aid Dyeing" and you'll find lots of information on dyeing feathers, fur, etc. using Kool Aid, Rit, Veniards. Here's a few:

Two tips - if you want it bright, start with white
to get black, dye it dark brown first

ps - A.K. Best has a great book on dyeing/bleaching materials, mostly using Rit; worth a look
I appreciate it. I just did find AK's book on it...dont know why it isnt referenced in his other materials??Quote:

A search here on FAOL for "Kool Aid" returned dozens of threads. Here are few threads that seem the most relavent for material dyeing.

gqualls dyes BIOT in beautiful colors and I betting he dyes other feathers.
He gets great colors but it is chemical dying I think.
I highly recommend A K Best's book. It loaded with great information and well worth the money. You can find it here http://product.half.ebay.com/Dyeing-...foQQprZ5936977 for $4.79 which is an absolute steal.
