It’s not time we waste…. its….

“We say we waste time, but that is impossible. We waste ourselves.”
Alice Bloch

I came across this quote today whilst in my studio, and thought it was worthy to share, so I combined it with a photograph I took on the west coast of Portugal.

About the Author:
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.”

  • You bit ‘meh’ about starting your next weaving project? I’m an artist and weaver and I share tips and ideas in my space here which may help you to ignite your weaving mojo again! Follow along and see. I may even make you laugh.
  • A not very technical solution to a very important task. The warp thread clumps need to be separated evenly. A simple solution.  I’ve found that only two cardboard strips are necessary. I then weave about 1.5cm or an inch of header, using a yarn colour that I won’t be using in my weaving; so when I hemstitch I don’t catch the header yarn.  So.. the 2 cardboard strips and a small section of woven header gets the warp perfectly evenly spread ready to weave the weft.  I’ll show the header and hemstitch in an upcoming reel. Follow if you want to see some tips for those steps.
  • “What’s your studio dress code? Or are we all just pretending we’re going to get dressed and then… not?”
