Sincere thank-you.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone from all around the world, who has written to me privately in response to my posts of images and words.  It has been quite overwhelming actually.

The time and effort you have chosen to take to share your own stories with me has enriched my life, and also made me acknowledge more deeply the impact my images and words can have on others. I decided yesterday to publish a book of my images and words from Karijini…and the working title at the moment is “Karijini Speaking”. I will keep you all updated on its progress.

I have endeavoured to respond to all of your emails, so if I have missed you I sincerely apologise but I will ensure I go carefully through them and reply to every  one.

So thank you everyone for opening your heart to me.

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.”

    Julie, it was a delight to meet you and chat briefly with you on Mt Nameless today. I have visited your website and, while I am enthralled by your images, it is your poetry that has my attention at the moment. Last week I implemented an “authors’ group” for a small group of students from Years 4 to 7. The first project for these students is to write a poem for the Dorothea MacKellar poetry awards. Inspired by my trek to Fortescue Falls last weekend, I selected the them “red” for the students to write about and I am blown away by their early drafts. With your permission, I shall have the children read and discuss some of your poems as they investigate how writers use words to create images and stir our emotions.

      Penny it was really lovely speaking with you both yesterday. It would be a privilege to have my words read and examined by your students. I would be only too happy to answer any questions your students may have about my poems. I was thinking it may be a good idea for the children to post their questions in the comments section on each of the poems…so that my responses can be read by all the class members..and anyone else who may also wish to learn about language and expression.
      I hope they all have fun writing their own poems..and I would really love to read them all. Do you have a blog or website where they are posted online?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

  • Options?? Hmmmmm Beating the weft on my rigid heddle loom - is an option! Your thoughts?? :) I’m a sassy older weaver who loves weaving. Have a look around my space here and come follow along. I may even make you laugh!
  • Yes.. slooooow! I’m weaving with my rigid heddle loom, where I stand and walk rather than sitting to weave. My blankets are based on my experiences, many of my series are based on travelling the world in our 100 year old vintage car. What do you base your weaving pieces on? Found my weaving interesting, let your weaving bestie know. I share tips and ideas which may help your weaving, so come follow along.
  • Do you skip this step? Some new weavers don’t realise until after they’ve cut their weaving off their loom that the ends start to come adrift! I see it sooo often. Here I’m making sure I don’t catch the woven header, but making sure I secure the warp threads into small clumps, by Hemstitching. I’m doing a tutorial which I’m aiming to post in the near future. Your weaving bestie may also be grateful for this reminder. For more tips and ideas, come follow along.
  • Wish more new weavers would try this. Just two is all that’s needed! This is a very simple tip to use just 2 cardboard strips as a header. I see some weavers use as many cardboard strips as sticks of spaghetti in a packet (yes, that may be an exaggeration lol) , but as you can see, two is perfectly adequate; followed by a small section of woven header in a contrasting colour. Follow along to see the next step where I show the most important Hemstitching!

  • 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.
