I have a new love… frozen water…


Oh my goodness… I have fallen in love with frozen water. It first started when I travelled to the US in 2009 and it snowed… and I was just soooo excited. Then a few years later I was captivated by the ice formations and expanses of white in Antarctica… The Shape of Cold opened up a way of experiencing landscape I had never felt before. Then to Greenland… and I developed a deeper sense of wonder for the icebergs which calved off glaciers… frozen time. Then to my second journey to Antarctica where the icebergs had a more significant emotional effect for me. … and now…. skiing in the snow…. and sitting on the edge of a forest in the silent snowstorm was just so magical… and the phenomenon of it snowing in a space void of all sound was just captivating and breathtaking. I love frozen water…. and I have only realised just today that the subject matter for my first photographic exhibitions were water….. and now they too are of water but in a frozen form… and both have provided such mystery and magic for not only my photographs but personally as well.

 

I hope to continue to experience this incredible world of frozen water… in ice… and snow… and cold!!!

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 ⬇️
  • The girl who was ‘too out there, too clumsy, too easily distracted, too independent growing up - was ‘too much’; and this is precisely the reason for her extraordinary life. 

Now an artist; weaver, photographer, travelling the world; family; friends; a life rich with experiences. 

A woman who celebrates her ‘too-muchness’. 

My name is Julie and I share my life stories, and weave some of those into handwoven blankets. 

I also share some photographs of how I see the world. 

I’ve been told for much of my life that I’m ‘too out there. Too much’. I am so grateful they noticed! 

Save this as a reminder to reflect on your own ‘too-muchnesses. Love you to share with us all what you were told you were ‘too…’ growing up, and perhaps YOUR story!
  • If this doesn’t look like you running to your studio to weave, perhaps you need some creative inspiration? 

Come follow along and see if you can find yourself some tips and creative mojo to get you running to your loom like I do!
  • Your weaving isn’t valued because it looks like it was made by a machine.
It is valued because it didn’t! 
Come along for tips, ideas and inspiration; as we create what is valued - together.
  • Just realised that perfection in your weaving isn’t the goal? Perfection isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Machines can do that. Soul-less. What you create with your own hands is unique and unreplicable. 
Come join me as we weave our own life stories through our own hands.
  • Want perfection? Use a machine. Your hands are the whole point. Your hands leave traces that your pieces are made by a human. Your own lived experience. Soul-filled! 

Want your own handmade - creative inspiration, tips and ideas? 
Come follow along!
  • Wished someone had told me this when I started weaving. 
What NOT to do with your gorgeous Indie dyed singles from the festival; or for that project that didn’t quite get made! Excited about using them in your weaving? 

STOP - before you start warping!! 

You can use any yarns you like for your warp; BUT, with awareness. Discernment is necessary.

Shredding it - is a thing! 
Save this in your weaving ‘note to self’ folder, and share with your creative bestie, so you avoid broken warp yarns!
  • 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.
  • 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!
