Keen-eyed spotters will notice that the URL for my website has changed from knitsonik.com to felixford.co.uk. I’ve also changed my logo to Felix Ford. This is all part of the healing process of leaving my KNITSONIK era behind, and embracing my new now. It feels good. I’ve been sadder than I could admit about losing […]
Tomorrow in the first Collage and zine with me class, we are celebrating collections. I thought this would be such a super theme, as I’m guessing many of us are collectors! To practice for the theme, I took three of my favourite collections: postage stamps from the Machin series; dots (stickers, washi tape and scraps […]
One of the best things about living in St. Leonards is exploring Bulverhythe beach at low tide. In the (almost) three years that we’ve been here, I’ve been learning about the many creatures that live here. Last year I got into a lovely habit of finding a shell, carving a representative rubber stamp, and reading […]
In July I ran a short series of classes in my online school called Collage with me. From 10-12 each Tuesday morning a small group of us met online to collage to a theme. We collaged with papers of All one colour… …we collaged in layers made from Rubber stamps + tissue paper… …we collaged […]
Hello and how are you? I’m sorry for disappearing! I didn’t mean to but the last few months have been a huge period of readjustment and change and writing here is one of the habits I’ve gotten out of. Just now, much of my time is spent running Journal with me – the membership for […]
This month in Journal with me – my subscription-based creative journaling membership – we are making collages in our journals with the specific intention to uplift, inspire and motivate. We meet this Thursday to cut stuff out from magazines; stamp things on scrap paper; and find ephemera that speaks to our specific lives and projects. […]
Did you know that I am teaching a workshop for MDK today? It’s at noon – 2pm Eastern Time, or 5-7pm GMT (UK time). I’m so excited for this class! I carved all the stamps we will be using for it (featured in the printables that you can download as soon as you sign up). […]
It turns out that my favourite thing is running my Journal with me membership. Not having a million other things to do has opened up so much space to enjoy using my journal as a creative work / play / planning space and to share what I’m doing with others – with mischief and delight. […]
When we last spoke, I was mired in dismantling KNITSONIK LTD., closing my business bank accounts, de-registering from VAT and shutting the doors of my online shop. It was all pretty dispiriting and I had to help things along with large doses of gold stars, washi-tape and WELL DONE stickers in my journal but, now […]
In the inspiring environment of St. Leonards, I’m moving towards a new chapter of KNITSONIK. The complex accounts required for trading as a Limited Company are no longer working for me so I’m un-incorporating KNITSONIK LTD and going back to being a sole trader. Before I hang up my director’s hat, I want to reflect […]
