Dying to get out!

Day Two of being snowed in.....they finally cleared our road about 5 last night, but with the drifting and low temps outside we are out of school again! I can't really paint thanks to the temporary studio filled with all the materials the contractors were suppose to be working with these past two days. So I decided to work on the custom dyed mohair for the PS halter mare remake.


She is going to be a flaxen liver chestnut, but I hate uni colored manes and tails. I start with bulk fine natural mohair I buy off ebay in bulk.
Since it a natural hair, human hair dyes work great! I buy colors whenever I see them on sale. I try to do as much as I can and save the extra hair once its dyed. Its not safe to save the hair dye itself once its mixed.

I pull out hunks of hair and coat the dye on them. Let sit for a half hour then rinse in warm water..tomorrow you can see the finished shades of blond!
