so i dyed my hair with henna and indigo a while back, but i've got an extra 100g of indigo left and no desire to have my hair any darker....so what should i do with my leftovers? has anyone ever used it to make henna-esque patterns on jeans or shirts?

You can use indigo to dye cloth with...but for making intricate patterns, I'd test on a piece of fabric.

Are you using plain henna now?

Sell it? Is it still in the original packaging?

Dyeing fabric with indigo is a rather complicated affair, not something you can do in a hurry with some leftovers. Here's (http://www.aurorasilk.com/info/indigo_tutorial.shtml) a tutorial. I think it is a fascinating process, but to get rid of the indigo I'd really just sell it :).
