Alchemy

Another half an hour before our flight to London from Singapore… so here in the lounge I wrote this poem in response to these three snaps I took a few hours ago just as we crossed the north-western coastline of Western Australia.

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.”

𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 Luxury Handwoven Blankets 🌏Stories from life & global adventures 🧩Woven into unique collector pieces Explore ⬇️
  • Love the feeling of fleece in your hands and fingers? Me too! Pull up a chair and look around at what I make from some of the fleece I spin. I may even make you laugh. Welcome!
  • I’m a weaver. So what sort of loom do you imagine? Well… my loom is probably not that. BUT even though it is a simple @ashford_wheels_looms rigid heddle loom, I can create the most beautiful soulful pieces that are treasured. I love my loom! 

If you want to weave using simple equipment or want some ideas, welcome to my space here; and I may even make you laugh along the way. Get comfy and stay a while.
  • Want to try weaving? You don’t need fancy equipment to make beautiful things? Save this as a reminder of that! .. and come follow along for ideas and tips; and I may even make you laugh!
  • Is your loom sitting there empty? Welcome to my space here where I share tips and ideas so you can enjoy your weaving again, and along the way, perhaps I may make you laugh. Bring a creative bestie and let’s create together!
  • Wished someone had told me this when I started weaving. Shredding of some singles yarns in your warp. 

Save this in your weaving ‘note to self’ folder, and share with your creative bestie. Come follow along for more tips and ideas, and I may even make you laugh along the way!
  • Want to be a solo warper? Today is warping day and I can’t be at both ends at the same time, so I worked out what to do. A perfect solution, but doesn’t save me from going to the gym though! Hehehe 

Here I’m using my fabulous Ashford Rigid Heddle 48”/120cm loom. @ashford_wheels_looms I love it! Simple, and I can weave all by my myself! 

You can save this tip for future reference, and for more ideas, and even a few giggles on the way; come follow along!
  • Want to see what is absolutely necessary for a weaver? Bring your bestie and come follow along to find out!
  • Like to make things? Want some inspo? Just a little bit stuck for ideas for your next project? 

Appreciate handmade imperfection, experimentation, beautiful materials and the human traces left behind by making. Well then; welcome! :)
