I've been trying out a few more ideas with indigo.

The ombre was part of our last class lesson and I was trying for a nice even gradation of values.

I had plans for this one that did not work out, but I will try to get what I'm after using another method.

And a cloudy moon - not quite what I was after, either!

I also dipped this leaf print the other day after not using the vats for some time and got a mixture of turquoise and green - although what's pictured here is wet and more vibrant than the actual colour. The leaf prints really darkened after dipping, too.

The unpredictability of the vats ensures my ongoing curiosity about what will happen next?
