Overview The Caribou-Targhee National Forest acts as a single unit managed by the United States National Forest Service and is associated with locales in the east-central portion of the State of Idaho. Idaho Falls and Pocatello represent two (2) of the nearest cities to the combined national forest units, with portions of the national forest existing within the same counties (Bonneville and Bannock) as the inner cities.

SorenThis 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!

NixAnimaliaThrowback art!
My master's thesis was on sheep grazing. I used my picture of those sheep for my Scientific Illustration course's final. It's a final of a final! I did this all in carbon dust with highlights in eraser and darks in carbon pencil. It's one of my favorites!

This was a picture taken of a mountain peak in the distance (probably the Rockys). The photo was taken from the top of Mount Two Peaks at an elevation of almost 9,000 ft in Targhee National Forest.
