What a year! and 59 today!

What a year! I am so very grateful for so much in my life. As I turn 59 today, I celebrate! I celebrate the freedom I have to share my love with my wonderful family; and the experiences I’ve had throughout my incredibly rich and bold life. I’ve had the BEST birthday EVER!!!…

An introduction….

I’ve received such lovely DM’s as a response to my last post; and many people commenting that they didn’t know I was an artist…. so I thought it was time I formally introduced myself.   Over the past year or so, a few words kept coming into my mind… Curious. Creative. Living Boldly.  … and those words pretty much sum up what I’m about and how I live my life… and in doing so, I endeavour to be kind, respectful and loving.   I am an artist with my foundation medium in photography. As an observer I learn much about the unseen connections within the natural world. I am a creative and love working with my hands, and love flows through them. My hands are one of my gifts and I’m privileged to be able to use them as a healer. I’ve been recognised by Shaman around the world as one of their peers. From early childhood I’ve always been a maker and creator. In the past couple of years I’ve recommenced my expression in the fibre-arts through knitting, weaving, spinning; and designing motifs from my journeys for my knitwear. I’m grateful to have found the designer Stephen West @westknits […]

Courage….climbing the cliff beside

"Courage is about getting up and climbing the cliff beside the one you've just felt like you've fallen from." Julie Stephenson I had an epiphany last week... one of those moments when the threads all came together to weave an understanding about a quality which has been my companion and guide for my whole life. I was sitting on a local mountain and...

Her Soul sparkled with light and was too…

"Her soul sparkled with light and was too vibrant, passionate, playful and deep for those too afraid to leave the shore." Julie Stephenson.

I had an amazing day skinny dipping in the ocean at a local beach and felt the freedom to experience myself playfully in the surging waves.
I realised some qualities I love about myself and how I have embraced living... and also reflected on fear and how that has limited me. Come on everyone... life is far too short to be fearful. Come with me diving deep into life!

Not many sleeps to go now… Osorno Volcano climb and I am ready !

Today I am excited to be leaving for another incredible adventure. With gratitude I find myself having more opportunities to experience myself and that which is far greater than me; when I trek and climb the incredible landscape of the Osorno Volcano in Chile on my 54th birthday in less than a week – on 13th Feb; and then journey to Antarctica for a second time. For this trip to Antarctica my companion is a very fun Chilean girlfriend; whilst Max is skiing with our boys and their friends across the US and Canada.   What a privilege to be able to experience these sacred places. I feel prepared and will give it my best shot! The Osorno volcano climb in Chile is one ...

Walk to Mt Kosciuszko summit – highest point in Australia !

Absolutely incredible walking to the highest part of Australia to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko! The landscape was spectacular ! As was the wind !!! Check out the sound of the wind and how windy it was. I was nearly blown off the track several times!!! A most powerful land where I walked observing my own challenges with an increasing awareness of the bigger picture of time and what is far greater than the singular of just one person. A profound day .

The day I ‘broke-up’ with normal….. hehehe

Had such a giggle when I saw this image from a feed from Nicole Cody today. Image by Col McGunnical. LOL... Max is off today to the US skiing and turf conferences with the boys for the next 6 weeks and suggested to me to have a think about climbing Kosciuszko this week couple of times in training for my climb to the summit of Osorno Volcano in Chile in a few weeks. 'Crazy' - I thought to myself... and within half an hour I had booked Frequent Flyer seats to Canberra and Air-B&B accommodation..and climbing Kosciuszko on Wednesday and Friday!! Yes crazy!! and definitely NOT normal!
I have nearly finished my book on our Bhutan journey (cover is the last thing to do).. and in the introduction I acknowledge that I 'DO' crazy! In my latest blog post I recognise to be honest and true to myself I need to accept who I am in

Have you ever woken up and FELT different than the day before? A REAL DIFFERENT… where the world seemed brighter and that something had changed for the good? I Did.   Last Monday morning.

Read on to find out how i have dealt with my own personal grief....

My new haircut preparing for India, Bhutan and Beyond…

Thought I needed a change… quite liberating having nearly all my hair removed! I received a beautiful gift from a very special Soul sista…. thought I’d share. 1940’s glass beads from a little antique shop in South Africa and travelled there on a beautiful woman from Europe; back in the day.

The cumulation of images…greater than the sum of the individual items – A body of work.

Ok.... 2 weeks to go before we leave for our drive in Penny through India, Bhutan... and beyond... :-) (I will keep you updated when I can with sporadic wi-fi :-) ).... and time is running out for me to share the beginnings of a conceptual body of work which really excited me whilst I was taking the photographs in Greenland.
As a visual artist and philosopher ... my 'bodies of work' are conceptually based; meaning they have a voice. I have a voice through my work. I have a voice which is expressed through not only each single image and artwork; but amplified through the collection as a whole.
Over the past few weeks I have shared some images which are of a 'narrative' nature. Some go a little further and express an emotion I was feeling .... or were catalysts for my introspection. For me - a body of work is different.
A body of work is a collection of images which has a voice...which expresses a vision; a philosophy; poses questions; reflects a unified thought or concept.... and is where the collection of images and artworks is far greater than the sum of the individual items......MORE....

Julie Stephenson’s qualities

Grace – I’ve never known quite how to describe you Julie. And honestly I’ve always used a lot of words like inspiring, or superwoman to express who you are to all the people around you. This morning I grabbed a Flow magazine to read and I opened to an article called “More Grace In Our Lives”. “Sarah Kaufman (The Washington Post) would call this ‘grace’…Kaufman sees grace in Cart Grant’s dance steps, in the backhand of tennis player Roger Federer, in the speeches of Obama, and in the moment her sister-in-law gave her a bunch of flowers to welcome her to the family. Whether it concerns small or big gestures, grace lifts us up out of our awkward difficult lives, says Kaufman. ‘Once grace enters the room,’ she writes, ‘our cold, hard, tottering world becomes a better place in which we live’. Gratitude, empathy, modesty, attentiveness: these are all encompasses in that little world, grace”. That’s you Julie. You are the embodiment of Grace.”     “Julie is a natural teacher, generous with her knowledge, insight and opinion; and a natural student, always acquiring knowledge and skills on her journey through life. Julie is positive. She has a sharp intellect […]

  • I’m a weaver. What are these for? 

Discovering these in my cupboard and using them for this was a game changer for my warping! They make it so easy so I don’t have to fuss with tying knots. I just slip them on! 

Here I use something similar to the item I used ice-climbing a volcano in Chile: but not as heavy duty! 

Often in my weaving I use items which suit just perfectly the purpose I need them for; but weren’t originally intended for that specific use. 

Love it when I do that! 

Hope this pro-tip helps all you innovative weavers! Know a weaver who struggles warping on their own? They may hug you for this one! Send it their way.

  • Do what you love…

12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. 

Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos. 

I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. 

The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal. 

What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!) 

Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well!

Do you seek out slow rituals in your daily life? Love for you to share. Comment to share with others or DM and I will reply to you personally. No automated bots!

There’s more calm and connection on my grid too!

  • This is the plan Stan!  Pro-tip… remember you don’t have to have a plan!

I’m a weaver without a plan; only journeys and stories that I weave into stunning blankets. 

Follow my weaving journeys and see more on my grid.

I always let colour lead! I weave my stories into my handwoven blankets, letting my memory of colour lead the way! Not knowing where to start with your next creative piece? This may be your answer! Have a bestie who is a creative as well? They may also love to see how colour takes the lead— send it their way! #Weaving #artisanmade #weaver #protip

The colours of where?  In my weaving, colour is my travel journal.  My on-the-road written journal from our travels driving our vintage car Penny, through India, Bhutan and Myanmar; with my Studio Journal ONE from this series; focussing on my journal for my current series of blankets - available now. It’s available by popping to my profile link. Know a creative colour-lover? They may love to see how colour tells a story! —send it their way. :)” #roadtripping #weaving #artisanmade #traveljournaling #weaver

I’m a weaver. What are these for?  Discovering these in my cupboard and using them for this was a game changer for my warping! They make it so easy so I don’t have to fuss with tying knots. I just slip them on! Here I use something similar to the item I used ice-climbing a volcano in Chile: but not as heavy duty!  Often in my weaving I use items which suit just perfectly the purpose I need them for; but weren’t originally intended for that specific use.  Love it when I do that! Hope this pro-tip helps all you innovative weavers! Know a weaver who struggles warping on their own? They may hug you for this one! Send it their way. #handweaving #fibreartist #madebyhand #warping #inmystudio

Do what you love…

12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. 

Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos. 

I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. 

The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal. 

What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!) 

Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well!

Here I’m offering 10 seconds of calm.

It seems like everything’s going crazy right now. Anxiety. Illness. Grief. Uncertainty.  

I’m craving quiet and connection. I can’t do things quickly any more. I choose to spend hours in my studio. The ritual of weaving and spinning. This helps me.  

It is not just about the finished pieces. It’s about connection and expression. 

I’m developing a deeper sense of gratitude using my experiences as a foundation for my handwoven blankets.  It’s healing.

If your feed has been feeling too loud and chaotic today, I hope this brings you a few moments of calm.

Do you seek out slow rituals in your daily life? Love for you to share. Comment to share with others or DM and I will reply to you personally. No automated bots!

There’s more calm and connection on my grid too!
