@croyle Hmmm, this looks familiar, could it be… yeah, it’s the same corner of #ZabriskiePoint 😊
I have first seen it in the movie with the same name and wanted to visit it ever since. This #photo I took in 2018 during a most wonderful roadtrip through the NP of the southwestern US. Still remember it fondly and hope to do it again, at some better time.

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!

Zabriskie Point Black And White
Zabriskie Point is one of my favorite places to visit in Death Valley National Park.
Ever since my first visit to the park I try to visit this area every time I visit the park.
This area is so full of geological evidence of earthquakes and flooding. You can see different layers of deposits from over millions of years.

Death Valley Abstract
This is an image of the badlands located just south of Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park.
A close-up view reveals the intricate patterns and varied colors of a geological formation. Layered sedimentary rocks create a dramatic natural tapestry with diagonal lines and contrasting hues.
