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:
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.”

  • Are selvedges in weaving important? My opinion regarding selvedges/selvages may be controversial amongst weavers. I do NOT obsess over them. I take care, but I do not gauge the quality of my piece by the evenness of my edges.  I don’t think enough attention is given to the quality of the fabric and the aesthetics of a piece; and instead many weavers focus on technical aspects, which in my opinion isn’t worth the attention, because for me it’s not what matters.  I’ve lived a lot, and been fortunate to experience travelling and weaving with women all around the world. Over my lifetime I’ve developed a ‘bigger picture’ view for my life and weaving. ‘Perfect selvedges’ rate very low in my ‘bigger picture’.  What do you think? Come follow along to see what qualities I feel are important in my handwoven blankets.
  • Here’s a simple tip using 2 cardboard strips as a header to even the shed in weaving. You only need two strips, and it’s best they are really thin, and the sharp edges mitred or lightly sanded (even with an emery board) to ensure that the yarn isn’t abraded. I then weave a small section of woven header which will be removed as the weaving is taken from the loom. I use a very simple rigid heddle loom; a lifetime of experience as an artist and weaver; combined with a little unhingedness; and my passion for sharing everything I know; means my space here is your go to creative fibre space for weaving, knitting and a big if fun. Welcome. Have a look around. I may even make you laugh.
