Eventually, only pigment will remain and can be scraped out of the container. It can take weeks for the water to evaporate and the pigment to settle! Each time you remove the top layers of water, the pigment is disturbed, and can start to rise up towards the top again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1887\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1887\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-farm.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1887\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-farm-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-farm-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-farm-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-farm-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1887\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As I experimented with dye-making, the plants on Governors Island flourished&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1888\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1888\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-pigment.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1888\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-pigment-1009x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"913\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-pigment-1009x1024.jpg 1009w, http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-pigment-296x300.jpg 296w, http:\/\/www.ivivaolenick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/indigo-pigment-768x780.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1888\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is some pigment from three 5-gallon vats.
