oak creek iron : april ‘20
Contributor Kelly Moody writes: “This pigment came from when I was camping out near Sedona, Arizona. While camping there this Spring, tiny Biscuitroots (a food Lomatium) were popping up and the seedlings of a regional wild Carrot species. In Sedona, there is a high iron content in the rocks, which makes all the soil a deep red-brown color.”
