the best camp by the river as the floodwaters receded
About the Author: Julie
I am a Journeywoman. I live my life as an explorer. An adventurer. An Observer. An Artist.
There is no differentiation between how I live my life and the art that is an expression of it.
It is through my experience adventuring the unknown, that I learn more about myself. My aim through this connection is to live where my expression is fully in alignment with the essence of who I am.
“In the field of Fine-Art Photography, Julie stands apart from others with the way she sees the world and expresses her connection within it.
Julie Stephenson’s photographs are sublime. Her work is an expression of her deep connection; and a gift to the world.”

Life goes fast; with curveballs; and accompanying that for me has been a reflection of my life and the memory of the lyrics of Pink Floyd’s ‘Time’; a song I grew up with.
I am so grateful to have experienced so much living, and recalling this song recently has reminded me that despite some life challenges; I still must not fritter a single second of my life away.
There has been a time where we haven’t been able to travel and experience the world and myself as I would have liked, but there are other ways that I can ensure I don’t waste my time alive!
I am a creator. A teacher. A storyteller. A traveller. A photographer. A weaver. A knitter. A maker. I need to keep creating. Celebrating my life is still as important now as it was a few years ago!
So, I quietly reflect. With gratitude.
Share this with someone you think may like this quiet reminder.

The door has shut; want quiet, no traffic, don’t want to talk to anyone and just stay home and do the things you want to do; like spinning, weaving, knitting, crafting; but feel like you should be getting dressed out of your pj’s, and going out to at least have a coffee???
You could role play like I did. Lol you can save this as a reminder that you don’t have to go out today at all!!! Follow to see my next studio ‘outing’.
One can never be overdressed wherever you are! Pop on your bling and do your thing!
So it’s all sorted then? Welcome!

Oops. Save this as a reminder if you ever accidentally missed some slots threading your reed; that it’s only a little oopsie. No biggie!
It’s an easy fix as long as you find the perfect weight to keep the replaced threads the same tension as the rest of the warp.
Always surprises here in my studio. Need a bit more of that? Come join in!

This blanket I’ve woven was inspired by a road trip driving our 100 year old vintage Vauxhall from Bangkok to London. We broke down in Kyrgyzstan after driving rough Tibet for a month; but that’s another story!

Hello Julie & Max … a belated xmas wish for you and your family … Merry xmas and a very happy new year … it’s been quite a long time since we spoke and please accept my sincere apologies for not calling or mailing but Bryan and I spoke of you and Max quite a lot … it was quite amazing to have met you both and your attitudes and verbal contributions in our last conversation to the place and the people. However, I am using this to get a message to you guys because I don’t know your actual email addresses. And it would be wonderful if you could drop us a line sometime when it is convenient to you. We have one of our sons here with us during the xmas holidays and he’ll go back to nz next month. We hope that you and your sons are having a wonderful break during the xmas holidays … love & blessings .. Maile & Bryan (from Kalumburu)
