Ray,

If all you are looking to do is color a few feathers a ta time, check with your local Sally Beauty Supply.

Remember back when all that hackle was being used by hairdressers? They came up some hair type dyes that you could just brush onto the feather to color it. They did it on demand for the customer, so it dries/cures quickly. One hairdresser I spoke with about this told me she just placed several feathers onto paper toweling and brushed on the color. Rinse them in water afterward and they were done. Wide range of color available.

Stuff should be cheap now, as the 'feather in the hair' fad has passed.

Good Luck!

Buddy
