I dying Rabbit hide (sorry Denise!)... one wine and one tan. The hides were white originally.
These will be used for fly tying! I'll get many dozens of flies out of these.

Does anyone here do hide tanning using the animal's brain (i.e. survival scenario)? It's one area of survival that I've had a few discussions on, but that's it. It's a skill I'd like to add to my survival toolbox along with a few others (like making a bow/arrows from scratch with minimal tools).
