Been wanting to overdye something and I had a pair of cotton pants that I wear to the office that streaked after washing and were a tad too big. @Chris gave me some great step by step instructions and I think it turned out well. After i washed them they do have a similar look as my IH OD stuff. Thanks again Chris.
I didn't use the fixer or whatever because I want to see how these wear. Also they shrank about .5" everywhere which was a bonus.

Nice work on your first project. I'm glad you're happy with the results. Now, if you're like me, you'll be looking through your closet thinking, "I wonder what this would look like if I changed the color…"
-
those turned out an awesome color.
great job
-
Thanks guys. I actually threw a few shirts in too. Some came out dark gray and some lighter. Kinda cool. I'm looking forward to wearing the pants a few times to see what develops.
-
^^I'm going to give that a try. Thanks for the inspiration @Traser2g
And its been a while since the last update so here's a few pics of a WIP:

Intense layering! I still can't believe you get that amount of texture, it's so damn good.

Much appreciation, @Anesthetist. This is 300lb./640gsm cotton paper, and I find that it can take a lot of abuse. I'm quite pleased how some of the textures are turning out after so many years. This peace of paper has allowed me to develop several new techniques, and I'll be sad when it's finally retired. Thanks for the kind comments!
Some more texture:

I'm liking the contrast with the black
-
^Agreed. The black adds a nice element to the piece. Almost gives it a looming effect.
-
I would call this "done". I probably have a few hours of just cleaning up some things on the picture. Hopefully I can keep the ball rolling and do at least a few more in the coming months.

^ The Iroquois looks superb … Kudos! @BloodnThunder

Thanks @Finkster! I'm pretty happy with it considering I hadn't done any drawing in over 10 years.

great work @BloodnThunder
Really nice.I wish I was at that level.
My mermaid on the previous page is so far from this.You should not wait another 10 years until you pick up your pen. You got a talent. Use it

Thanks @nizzel55, I think I've got the ball rolling with this one. So hopefully I'll have another to post in the near future.

Wow… Seconded

Thanks @Finkster @Black Orchid @bwest1000 . I slowed down a bit after my son was born but am getting back in a good rhythm again.
