I was the recipient of loving generosity and kindness…

I have just been the recipient of such beautiful, kind generosity.
I was checking out of the Holiday Inn at Santiago Airport and I said to the lady – “Es una Muy lindo pulsera” (that is a beautiful bracelet) and after I had checked out she came around to me and popped it on my wrist. I was overwhelmed.
I had a tough night in a phone conversation completing a personal decision last night – and to have received such loving generosity I felt the Angels embracing me.
The lady said – “A gift to remember Chile, and that I was beautiful ( awww )” ; and yes – this beautiful bracelet will remind me of my profound journey and experiences in Chile climbing Volcan Osorno and to Antarctica. Thank you beautiful lady for your random act of love and kindness .

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 ⬇️
  • Your hands ARE the point.  The variations in what you create with your own hands are the traces and evidence that it was created by a unique human.
  • Machines “...copy the way, but can’t copy the soul”. FLORÉN FLO Beats
Your fingertips create traces that your pieces are made by a human. Everything that you create with your hands; Weaving; Art; Cooking; Music; Touch. Every gesture and movement uniquely yours. Extraordinarily human. Unreplicable
  • Shredding it - in this case is NOT good! Lol Singles yarns can be an issue if used in the warp. I wished someone had told me this when I stared weaving!
  • I wished I had known about this when I started weaving! Shredded yarn is not your friend!
  • Shredded yarn is not your friend. Care is needed when using singles yarns for the warp. I wished I had known about this when I started weaving!
  • Tick-tock tick-tock… not good things can happen if you forget to do them! And everything can fall apart! 

Hemstitching (Yes I did say ‘stitching’!’)  is a vital and often missed step in weaving. Note to self!
  • It’s not all calm - weaving. If you forget a step - everything can go BOOM! and disintegrate. 

Hemstitching is a vital and often missed step in weaving. Yes ‘stitching’ Note to self!
  • The tutorials show perfectly aligned knots and smooth, effortless tension. 

The reality is just standing at the loom wrangling with individual threads until the structure finally cooperates. 

It’s fiddly. It’s clumsy. No gauges. Just tension by intuitive feel. On repeat.

If you’re looking for mechanical clinical perfection; not here. But if you want creative inspiration; well that’s a whole different story!
  • Weaving is sooo relaxing! 
Really?? Lies! 

Lashing the warp is messy. Clumsy. 
Knots not even. If you like things lined up exactly, this could do your head in! 

Wrangling a clump of cord to lash is NOT relaxing! 

Let’s set the record straight! 
For you? Weaving lies? 
What’s the consensus?
