I know I've been showing (and enjoying!) some lush vibes, but I start to also miss that stark minimalist purity that only the deepest deserts can provide. Maybe soon I'll go back and experience "A Moonlit Night at Badwater"...captured by yours truly one December evening.

The most uninhabitable shirt-sleeve environment in the solar system...and you don't have to go as far as Artemis II to visit it. In fact, it's within a day's drive of Los Angeles. But beware: you might not come out the same as you went in.
Taken where the vibes begin, in the Panamint Valley: "Leave Behind Life".

This scarf is a gift for my uncle, inspired by quartz clusters we saw together backpacking in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. From what I've been reading I think they were formed by intrusive igneous rock forming around xenoliths, and by cooling very slowly forming the incredible quartz crystals we saw, which looked like rings around the darker xenoliths in the weathered rock face we saw. I'm not trained as a geologist though and would love to find more information about the geology of Cottonwood Canyon from someone with some real expertise!
The wool is targhee roving I got at the nor cal ren faire. I spun it on my small cross arm spindle and wove it on a loom I've been borrowing from a friend. It's plain weave set at 8epi. It looked very open on the loom, but fulled into a wonderfully bouncy and dense fabric.
After fulling I scoured the fabric, then used rubber bands to do this shibori inspired dye process. After putting on the rubber bands I gave it a bath in tannins I extracted from an oak gall, then in a bath of cool water with just a tiny bit of dissolved ferrous sulfate. It was so exciting to see the fabric turn grey in a a matter of just a few minutes when I put it in the iron bath!

Hot summer morning in Death Valley. No wind, no sound—just me, the rising heat, and the sharp light revealing every line and curve in the dunes. A perfect moment for black and white.

Ep. 11, #TransAmerica 9,000-mile #Overland #Roadtrip 🚙💨:
Cruise through Artists Drive in Death Valley, where the desert transforms into a painter’s palette of vibrant reds, pinks, purples, and greens! 🌄🎨 The Artists Palette Viewpoint is pure magic, especially in the golden glow of sunrise or sunset. But visiting in the heat of summer? Now that’s an adventure! ☀️🔥
