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.”

Your fingertips create traces that your pieces are made by a human. Everything that you create with your hands; Weaving; Art; Cooking; Music; Touch. Every gesture and movement uniquely yours. Extraordinarily human. Unreplicable
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!
Tick-tock tick-tock… not good things can happen if you forget to do them! And everything can fall apart!
Hemstitching (Yes I did say ‘stitching’!’) is a vital and often missed step in weaving. Note to self!
It’s not all calm - weaving. If you forget a step - everything can go BOOM! and disintegrate.
Hemstitching is a vital and often missed step in weaving. Yes ‘stitching’ Note to self!
The tutorials show perfectly aligned knots and smooth, effortless tension.
The reality is just standing at the loom wrangling with individual threads until the structure finally cooperates.
It’s fiddly. It’s clumsy. No gauges. Just tension by intuitive feel. On repeat.
If you’re looking for mechanical clinical perfection; not here. But if you want creative inspiration; well that’s a whole different story!
Weaving is sooo relaxing!
Really?? Lies!
Lashing the warp is messy. Clumsy.
Knots not even. If you like things lined up exactly, this could do your head in!
Wrangling a clump of cord to lash is NOT relaxing!
Let’s set the record straight!
For you? Weaving lies?
What’s the consensus?
