Uncertain steps
over unfamiliar terrain
into the mist of Trust.

My weaving is deeply rooted in my experience. My remote journeys and experiences continue to move through me as I weave.
Although weaving involves repetitive tasks, my movements are intentional and connected to my spirit, memory and experiences. Weaving for me is far more than a physical task. It is art; my voice through my hands.
Thank you for joining in with me to guess where my memories are from for my current Series. Here are some more clues in the photographs.
DM your guess where you think this place is. Looking forward to reading where you think!

The lines hold meaning.
Privileged to be able to weave alongside the lines drawn in Abbie Loy’s Body Painting 2012, and @sallyblakeartist Sacred Thought.
@qingfibre Lemon is the most wonderful yellow, forming the story lines in my warp.

Slow weaving. Simple stitches.
Heirloom handwoven blanket from a meaningful memory. Have you been to a beach with these gorgeous coloured changing rooms? Where?
My blankets are soulful gifts which say to someone that you care about them.

My studio. A quiet space. Where the threads of memory come to life.

Roadtrippin’ vintage car style. Our journeys aren’t your usual road trip, but tbh is the BEST way to experience the world. It’s tough. It’s exhausting. It’s incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
We would not have had the incredibly rich experiences with others throughout the world, had we been in a ‘normal’ vehicle or tour group.
I would not have held the hands of women and hugged with acknowledgement of each other had we not been in our 100 year old ‘Penny’.
Love to know the ways you’ve travelled where you’ve connected spontaneously with local people.

Every journey becomes part of who I am. Remote travel is my passion!
I love the snow and have learned so much from my experiences in those cold environments.
I spent some time lying in the snow beside the forest waiting to be found when I injured and tore all my ligaments in my knee.
In the silence between the snowflakes I learned how to breathe with the pain.
I miss the snow and cold of the Arctic. I miss the icebergs and frozen seas.
I can still however weave my stories, and this one is from my memories of skiing and what I learned in the snow amongst the pines.
More journeys, blankets and My Zine - link in Bio.

It is beautiful, Julie. Ilove linking poems and titles to visual images.
On a personal note. I came across images of you looking very unwell. I hope you are healed now. Was it your mouth that had to be operated on. It looked nasty. Perhaps it was long past but I saw it before I saw your web site! Helen

Thank you Helen. Yes…the words just seem to come with the images. 🙂
Yes.. I had rather unexpected surgery last week to remove a lesion from my lip… so still recouperating – but healing beautifully. Found out yesterday it was not malignant but can turn nasty quickly – so glad I took action. Still not able to talk but that is giving my family and friends a little break! LOL. Thank you for your care and well wishes.
