The Easter is here and i'm ready to color eggs!

I read so many posts about dyeing mohair, so I decided to try myself too. We don't have kool-aid here in Russia, unfortunatelly..  bear_ermm 

I took some egg paint which is cheap and available every where.
I follwed the instruction, then boiled it in micriwave (with the paint) for 1-2 min and washed.

I like the colors I got. good for anime, acsessories, or bear parts, or maybe a whole bear!

Well done Julia, they are all such pretty colours. I'm sure anything that you make from the fur will look great. Please share pictures with us all once you have used the fur.

The colors are gorgeous, Julia!  I was going to give it a try on Easter when we were dyeing eggs but my sister called and then I forgot about it until I'd already dumped three colors down the drain.  Oh well.  I wonder if you can get egg dye in the off season?  Maybe on eBay!

Thank you for sharing your experiment!!

Warmest bear hugs,  :hug:
