Marigold memories of India – my joyful garden!

My garden is beautiful at the moment…with fruits, flowers, herbs and vegetables abounding! Such a delight harvesting lemons and limes.. onions and beens… planting peas and garlic…. picking oregano, mint, parsley, ginger, lemon myrtle and drying cinnamon…. gathering macadamias… collecting eggs. Such a wholesome life!

 

The bright yellows of my border marigolds and sunflowers bring me such joy and remind me of our extraordinary adventures – particularly through India. The smells and sounds of India pass through my thoughts as see my marigolds… and I recognise what an amazing life I live.

You can see some of what we saw in India here – Here’s a collection of posts with photos and stories of our wonderful journey.

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.”

  • Turns out, lashing the warp is messy. 
Studio notes from today: 
1. It looks chaotic until the last knot is tied. 

2. Nothing is exactly even, so if you like things lined up exactly, this may be a challenge. 

3. Trust your hands and the tension when you do the second pass to put tension on the cord - even when the knots look like a mess. 

Save this if you’re navigating the clumsy phase too and return to see how it all turns out.
  • What else didn’t you know when you wanted to start weaving? Come and find out! Follow along.
  • ‘Lashing the warp’ on my rigid heddle loom was once a surprise term I didn’t know was a thing; back-in-the-day, when I first started weaving. 

If you’re starting weaving - for new terms; and if you’ve been weaving for ages and need some creative inspiration; come follow along!
  • The needle didn’t come with my loom. Apparently I was supposed to know sewing was part of weaving! Lol

I love stitching now and it’s a wonderful part of my weaving process.

I have a favourite needle, so grab yours and bring a bestie to Hemstitch with me; and come follow along with my crazy weaving journeys!
