Thanks Guys.............. It is a lot of work and I'm not out to get rich on this. Just want to help those that can not access supplies as easy as others.

Just wanted to let everyone in on something else I thought of................ I just ordered a large amount of marabou feather boas in white. Since they are very easy to dye I thought I would offer custom dyed boas. I think this will be nice... I get tired of ordering all the different colors and running out. This way I can dye them or you can oder your own boa and dye kit. I will post with the price when they arrive.

I'm sorry to keep posting stuff here...... Shawn and I are working on the new website but still have a lot of work to do. So folks will just have to contact me via PM or email to make a order. I didn't want to put in Bazils Bazzar and just try to keep things together here.

Billy thats awsome i HATE dieing feathers!! Its the one thing I really suck at...well its the top thing I suck at. I will definately be intrested in that. i can never get mine to look right. they always end up looking like the cat from the Pepe Lapue cartoons that falls into the turpintine then looks all scraggly and narly and starts chasing him.....anyone my age know what i mean.....

I would be interested in dying feathers method.  I know how to dye material of many kinds but I have not tried feathers.  It does sound a little complicated if the DR. is having problems doing it but I just would like to give it a try to at least know the process.  I hate having to choose what colours I MAY need to get for a future puppet. 

I may take the kit for dying feathers (I guess it will have instructions along with it)  my main use is for ostrich feather trim.   Will this be the same method as the boa feathers?

I'll do a tutorial on feather dyeing since Jay is up to the ceiling with tutorials these days  I wanted to get some ostrich feathers but they are just to expensive right at the moment. I will be adding the ostrich fringe and plumes later on.

I got in the solid white economy marabou boas 72" today and will do a dye tutorial tomorrow. The boa and dye will be $5.00 each... however the dye paks will dye a lot of boas........... additional white boas for just $2.00 each so buy and save.................. I have 39 left.

I will be ordering them dyed as well. Meanwhile I still have the Antron 12oz. and dye paks for $18.95 +S/H
