    Default Picric Acid dyed materials

    Picric acid dyed materials have been mesmerizing me lately.
    For the first time in a very long time, when I sit behind my tying desk, do I feel like tying new patterns.
    Creating new patterns, doing new "stuff"
    The colors created by the Picric acid is amazing.
    From an electric bright yellow, to subtle hues of olives and shades green.

    I do not dye myself, I have a friend that is an expert on chemicals etc that does the dying.
    PICRIC ACID IS HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE. BEWARE.
    EVEN MORE EXPLOSIVE THAN TNT.

    But the colors are amazing.

    I have lined up so many "things" I want to dye.

    Seals fur
    Snow rabbit
    Raw angora goat
    Karrakoel goat
    etc etc

    Not sure if it will catch fish, but hell, it will look nice to have all this new materials.
    It is really inspiring to see all the shades and the things you want to do with it.
