November 2010 – To the Simpson Desert

This is my trip to the desert garden in November 2010. hungry-storm

 


We have just returned from the GREEN CENTRE. It was a privilege and such a humbling experience to journey through this beautiful landscape after so much nourishing rain.

Wherever we camp we are conscious of our impact and remove all our waste with us. We carry and not burn our rubbish; we have our own toilet so our waste is not left; and I am a strong advocate to women to take with them in a zip lock bag their used toilet paper from roadside wees, instead of leaving it disrespectfully to litter the environment.

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 ⬇️
  • Ever been stuck knowing where to start a project. ‘What I saw’ is often a good place to start. 

Your journeys can be wonderful source material for your projects. Save this as a reminder for your own weaving and if you’re  just visiting my space here, come follow along to see what I weave from my journeys.

This blanket I’ve woven was inspired by a road trip driving our 100 year old vintage Vauxhall from Bangkok to London. We broke down in Kyrgyzstan after driving rough Tibet for a month; but that’s another story!
  • I’m REAL. No AI scripted slop. Just ALL me. Want to enjoy your weaving more? Welcome to my world where I share tips and ideas freely. I may even make you laugh along the way. Get comfy, follow along and stay a while.

I’m a weaver. Artist. Traveller. Photographer. Bad*ss sassy weaver actually! Simple tools. Ashford rigid heddle. Gorgeous handwoven blankets, and 3 ground rules for my content! I’m just being totally REAL! Welcome along!
  • I’ve just posted two b-roll clips; now for washing the floors and cleaning …. (Ooops maybeee that weaving?) 

I know I was supposed to do something. Come follow along to see what I do next time when I plan to vacuum.
  • Now for washing the floors and cleaning …. (Ooops is that weaving?) 

I know I was supposed to do something. Come follow along to see what I do next time when I plan to vacuum.
  • …..and weaving. Follow along to see my weaving (since I’ve done all my cleaning!🤣)
  • You won’t find any granny blankets here! This is the part that most people miss when making things, and I’ve found that’s the case with so many fellow weavers. What’s missing is Fun! Laughter! A bit of humor! Want some of that! Come follow along. 

Life’s too short to not have fun in the process, right! Let me know what you think, and come join in the fun!

Simple tools- my rigid heddle loom is what I use to weave these beautiful soulful blankets.

You could role play like I did. Follow to see my next studio ‘outing’.

One can never be overdressed wherever you are! Pop on your bling and do your thing!
So it’s all sorted then? Welcome!
