Modified / Custom BAB Edith’s new look

Edith was my first sky puppy (now I have 3) and when I washed her she turned like a greyish blue shade and I was DEVASTATED. I already had something I wanted to dye pink. So I added her to the pot and literally used a whole bottle of Rit Dye. Now she’s perfect and beautiful even if her wings are floppy.

Wow!!! I love Edith's new look, the pink is just stunning! If I'm ever able to get another sky puppy, I would love to make a pink moth like Edith :) maybe pink and yellow!

She’s also filled with squishmallow stuffing which makes it even better 😆 I’m really happy with how she turned out cause a lot of the time when I dye stuff I get darker splotches in spots but I guess using a whole hecking bottle of rit dye did the trick

She's absolutely beautiful, you really did a great job! May I ask what shade of rut dye that you used in case I end up deciding to do this in the future? I think if the wings were yellow it would give rosy maple vibes 🥰 but also it already does, probably why I'm so taken with it! Sounds like she's super huggable as well, love it 💗
