@Brian yes I thought so too.

I dipped these antlers in the indigo vat from today.

@Oaktavia very cool. Skull bone really absorbed a lot

@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.

I made a couple videos of me indigo dying some shirts. One is a white chambray shirt by IH, a cream 1600 and a red IH zip hoodie that I had previously dyed that unwanted to darken, a @guiltyparty Bart Simpson tshirt, a Samurai tshirt and two skulls.

See here and here.

Below are photos of the skulls I dipped in the indigo vat. White tailed deer and raccoon.

Lastly, I have some still shots of the shirts oxidizing:

Last one: indigo overdyed white selvedge chambray.
