You can use practically anything that is water-soluble, concentrated watercolors, acrylics, things like procion dyes, tempera, etc.

Try food coloring, though you still have to seal it with varnish or acrylic emulsions... > Eric

hi
thank you for your replys.
I saw organic dyes are also used, if someone is in Montreal (quebec) let me know where I could find that or where to order it on the net.
thanks all!!!

Many organic dyes come from common plant materials. A book from the library would probably list the plants and give instructions. If it's suitable for fabrics, it's probably good for paper.
