I just had a thought and I may try it later today and just see what happens, but do any of you all can your own beets? That brine that's left over will stain anything it touches, so I'm just wondering what a white feather would look like if I soaked one in the beet juice for a little bit? I don't think it would be red, but more of a purplish burgandy color.
The thing is that it's already got a bunch of vinegar in it and highly concentrated.

I'll do an experiment and see what happens.

Semo,a similair question was asked to stain wood. Dark Soul said that any fruit or vegetable based stain will eventually just turn varying shades of brown in time.

  SEMO CAN'T GET ANY BETTER.

  LEE  and anyone else.
  This is a little trick I used for 20 years when I got choppers.
  Get a paint stired and chop a feather out of it. TAKE AND CUT 1/8 inch off the bottom.
  Glue on a handle from the same stick.
   Now when you put the feather in to chop it hold it down with your pattern. Chop it holds it down and in place while your cutting it. COMES OUT PERFACE EVERYTIME.

i did the same thing as crookedarrow,but i used popsicle sticks.they are thinner than the paint stick.it is a great help holding down the feather.you'll get a cleaner cut.

Dollar store....box of food coloring.  Four colors, endless combinations.  Add in the color possibilities of Kool-Aid blending and it becomes staggering.   Just don't spill it on the countertops, that's all I'm saying!
