<p>I cant believe this topic ois here, I spent all week-end dying feathers GREEN. bright Lime Green !</p>
<p>It took about 15 dye baths before I got the color just right</p>
<p>I used Rit Dye, because I could color match it from their website. I did end up adding more Yellow to my Dye bath to get the bright Lime I wanted.</p>

<p>Thanks Elaine - I've never used it, but knew it was dangerous. Didn't realise it was up there with stiffener and 450 though. I've got a lung disease too - Pulmonary Fibrosis - and because of this, take special care. I don't have a fume cupboard, but always go outdoors on a breezy day for and stiffening or gluing. A warning to all of us though! </p>

<p>I should also warn people too that my lung specialist told me that the disposable masks that are available from harware stores are for dust protection - do not protect from chemical inhalation -you need a special filter mask for chemicals. </p>

<p>It is worst of all chemicals used in millinery & florist industry. When I developed allergic asthma about 15yrs ago Dr sent labels of products I was using to Poisons Info Centre and Design Master came back as most dangerous next to stiffener then 450 glue. Dr told me to get a fume cupboard. We need to take care. The Qld Museum purchased one of our workstations (check it in supplies) for classes. Free to view Video on how it works coming soon. </p>

<p>I haven't used it myself, but it has been recemmended by a highly skilled milliner and I've seen feathers which have been dyed with it and they looked brilliant (although not green). </p>
<p>Hope this helps :) </p>

<p>Hi Annabel, Would you consider hand marbled feathers a combo of colors that include green? Here are some of mine. The swan feathers are 11" to 13", the cockatoo feathers are head feathers. These are real feathers, permanent paint, and the paint is waterproof. They are non-delicate. I have many more feathers in my shop that combine bright green with other lovely colors. If you are interested pls take a look:…</p>
