Tie-Dying Fur...?

I suspect without very careful considerations, the colors would become muddy due to the nature of the fake fur's texture. That aside, it sounds like an awesome experiment to try. It may perhaps be better to airbrush the effect in, especially for so small an area... but not everyone's got one of those.

My experience in trying to dye fur is that I only got muted colors (pastel at best) with vibrant backings. Most fake furs are acrylic based, I believe, and don't take in colors from dyes (i.e. Ritz).

You'd probably be better off brushing in watered down acrylic paints, the kind for fabric, to get more vibrant colors. Or using an airbrush instead of a brush. I've never done this but I believe others have. Another alternative is oil based polish or stains. But I'd imagine that this would be prone to smearing on stuff with enough pressure.

Hope that helps some.

Thanks guys!

I'm experimenting anyway (It was an excuse to do some dye-in'....

And now my hands are green...^__^

Wish me luck, I'll know if it worked in like 4 hours~
