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.

  • 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.
