I painted these cornhole boards that my FIL made for us. The painting section at Lowes has NFL teams colors so I asked for the Baltimore Ravens black, purple, gold and white. This was much harder to paint than I expected. All those fucking points drove me crazy. I am super happy with the result though. I plan to clear coat them and order some Ravens bean bags from Etsy or whatever. I did have an idea that Iron Heart denim bean bags would be really cool too. I have some scraps laying around but I'm not so great at sewing. @Matt though you'd dig these.

Exactly my man! Just got a new Ravens hoodie too woo!

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia I actually just tried to get tix to the Bronco's season home opener...went on sale at 10a...got skunked....

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle ah bummer dude. I would look for tickets for later in the season, maybe against a division rival.

One of the better parts about being short is having larger remnants after hemming.

After taking some inspiration from this thread I made a 21oz SBG carry all pouch.

@94atromero Great job!

@Oaktavia These are so sick! Although as a Canadian, I am more of a Baltimore Stallions guy and their legendary 1995 Grey Cup win.

[Matt]

Go Stallions!

[Oaktavia]

@derek111 haha nice

I made a little shadow box of small things from my recent trip to Iceland and England with my wife.

[Brian]

@Oaktavia that’s way cool and a great way to store and display memories other than pictures

[Oaktavia]

@Brian yes I thought so too.

I dipped these antlers in the indigo vat from today.

[SKT]

@Oaktavia very cool. Skull bone really absorbed a lot

[Oaktavia]

@SKT yeah I was trying to think outside the box but there

I just copied and pasted this from my Instagram as it details what I ended up doing yesterday:

What else was in the indigo dye vat:

1. 11oz Iron Heart heavyweight tshirt: I dyed this one a sky blue and purple on two separate occasions before dipping this into the indigo vat. Now I have highly saturated indigo splotches all throughout it. I dipped it four times into the vat.

2. This 7.5oz Iron Heart pocket tshirt was red and white striped prior to the indigo dips. To my surprise, the red stripes turned to a yellowgreen. I expected it to stay red (not sure why) and the shirt to be red/blue striped. I love how it turned out. Four dips with this one too.

3. I learned last go around with dip dying that if I kept the shirt in a ball, I would get a pseudo tie dye effect. That is what I did with the NOFX shirt. It was a salmon color before that is still visible. I love how the unlikely colors intermingled with one another. Only one dip with this shirt into the vat.

4. This hem scrap was a brown Iron Heart duck cotton. This is what brown duck looks like overdyed in indigo. Two dips into the vat.
