“Where Do They GO”…. Swimming with whales in Tonga – Book for Oceanographic Conservation

I’m so excited to announce an upcoming venture to support oceanographic conservation through the sale of the publication of my new book “Where Do They Go” in both e-book and hard cover print format. You can have a sneak peek of the online Flip book here Click to view my beautiful ONLINE Flipbook

I stood on the rocky beach on Fetoko Island in Tonga, as I looked south along an uninterrupted line to Antarctica. I reflected on my incredible experiences of swimming with the whales and I heard whalesong undulating within the salty breeze. I wondered, “Where do they go?”…, both in a migratory sense and my own personal enquiry into the numbers of each species.

 

I have learned that change and conservation comes through connection. I connected deeply with these incredibly beautiful mammals and wanted to share my experience with others, with the aim that my photographs will provide the opportunity for the viewer to connect with the beauty of the whales as well. ‘Where Do They Go?’ is a dual layered title; not only questioning the mysteries of migration, but also the inquiry about their disappearance from the oceans and the causes of their declining populations.

 

Although Australian whale populations have recovered from whaling, other populations worldwide for many species have not. This book is the beginning of my expression with these beautiful animals and my alignment with oceanic conservation in the hope to create awareness and action to respect and care for our environment through connection.

 

Subscribe so I can notify you when my beautiful books will be available to purchase and more about my conservation projects. Pop your name on the list to be notified of new book releases.

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 ⬇️
  • Ever had a tough week and you just know yarn that a 6-pack of yarn will be the perfect spirit lifter? Follow along to see what I make with this gorgeous @myak_fibers 

I just adore it!
  • Do you want to NOT go out 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. Follow to see my next ‘outing’. 

One can never be overdressed wherever you are! Pop on your bling and do your thing! 

So it’s all sorted then?!!
  • Four things I learned from one month not buying yarn. If you’re a weaver, knitter or crocheter, I’ve done all the hard work for you! 

Save this for your own reference, and follow to see if I chat to the postman about yarn again! 

What I learned- 
1. I miss chatting to our postman about yarn.

2. I just don’t have the right pink. 

3. No one; yes no one at all gave me a gold crown. Not even a gold star! 

4. I was so sad I took up a hobby. Sewing. I bought heaps of fabric! 

Because I’ve realised I don’t even like sewing, it was all pointless. 

I’m back to weaving now. Wonder if I’ll be chatting to the postman again soon??
  • Want to enjoy your weaving more? I share tips and ideas freely. I may even make you laugh along the way. Get comfy, follow along and stay a while.

I’m a weaver. Artist. Traveller. Photographer. Bad*ss sassy weaver actually! Simple tools. Ashford rigid heddle. Gorgeous handwoven blankets, and 3 ground rules for my content! Basically, I’m just being totally REAL! Welcome along!
  • Tired of AI slop? Come follow along here if you want REAL!! They say wearing bikinis gets more followers, and AI can’t do that! I can though! 

I’m totally real; and at times slightly unhinged. Committed, sometimes ridiculous. If you want weaving tips and to get some weaving mojo, here is your space! I may even make you laugh.
  • Thinking of weaving? A rigid heddle loom is a great start. I use a really big one with a very big shuttle. It’s a 48”  @ashford_wheels_looms Rigid heddle loom. 

I like to walk rather than sit to weave so this is the perfect size for me, so I can weave my blankets. 

Come follow along to see what I weave using this very big shuttle. I may even make you laugh along the way.

Back to weaving now. So looking forward to chatting to the postman again! 🤣

Come follow along to see what I weave with my next parcel!
  • Stuck for ideas for your weaving? Use what you’ve done! I’ve woven my memories from one of our roadtrips 100 year old vintage car style, where our goal was to drive from Bangkok to London. Made it through Thailand, Laos, Tibet, Kyrgyzstan and broke down there.. lol.. but that’s another story! 

Follow for more weaving ideas and stories. I may even make you laugh!
  • Bold, sassy older weaver! I share freely all my weaving tips and ideas. Look around my space. Come follow along in my sometimes unhinged studio. Deeply committed to my art and weaving practice; but I may make you laugh.

Thinking of weaving? A rigid heddle loom is a great start. I use a really big one with a very big shuttle. It’s a 48” @ashford_wheels_looms Rigid heddle loom. I like to walk rather than sit to weave so this is the perfect size for me, so I can weave my blankets. Come follow along to see what I weave using this very big shuttle. I may even make you laugh along the way.

Four things I learned from one month not buying yarn for my weaving. Save this for your own reference! 

1. Miss chatting to our postman about yarn.
2. Just don’t have the right yellow. 
3. Nobody, yes nobody gave me a gold crown. Not even a gold star! 
4. I was so sad I took up a hobby. Sewing. I’ve bought heaps of fabric! 

So, because I’m not sure I even like sewing now, it was all pointless. 

Back to weaving now. So looking forward to chatting to the postman again! 🤣

Come follow along to see what I weave with my next parcel!

Stuck for ideas for your weaving? Use what you’ve done! I’ve woven my memories from one of our roadtrips 100 year old vintage car style, where our goal was to drive from Bangkok to London. Made it through Thailand, Laos, Tibet, Kyrgyzstan and broke down there.. lol.. but that’s another story! 

Follow for more weaving ideas and stories. I may even make you laugh!

Bold, sassy older weaver! I share freely all my weaving tips and ideas. Look around my space. Come follow along in my sometimes unhinged studio. Deeply committed to my art and weaving practice; but I may make you laugh.
