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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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:
