On my recent jaunt to New Mexico and Colorado (about which more later) I bought a strand of rust colored carved serpentine beads. Silly me -- I didn't realize they were dyed, and the dye rubbed off onto the tissue paper they were wrapped in and rubs off on fabric.
I soaked them and scrubbed them, which helped somewhat (and also made them much paler), but they still shed enough dye that I don't feel like I can incorporate them into a piece that I intend to sell.
Is there any fix for this? Could I spray them with Krylon or something? Or do I just need to tell anyone who winds up with them to only wear them with black :-)
