I think this helps us to satisfy both sides of our brain. I’ll bet it helps stave off cognitive decline,,, 🥰🥰🥰. And YES, PLEASE a video on making momagami paper.
I use a file box system so I can keep media or techniques grouped. I do the notes and clip them to each piece. I recently got a stash of old file folders out of storage and placed card stock glued onto the expansion area like a book spine (1 in. average) so they could hold things easier without crushing the edges.
I love your technique journal! I wonder why I haven't thought of it myself because many times I've done projects and when looking back on them, have forgotten the techniques I used to achieve the outcome. Your technique journal is such a sensible, practical, excellent idea, and once thought of, so obvious! Thank you so much.
😁😁 Thank you so much! I completely understand that feeling; it’s easy to forget the details of our projects. I'm glad you found the technique journal inspiring! It really helps to keep everything organized and at your fingertips.
I loved learning about your process, Francisca. I have started to keep a similar record of techniques I’ve learned and projects I’ve tried. I call it my art recipe book. Yes to the momigami video! Thanks so much. ❤
I have been writing notes in the last couple of weeks on what to do to improve my art, keep track of my processes and techniques and how to store this information as well as keeping an example of each 'product' I make, I felt that by doing this I would be able to remind myself of the techniques I have used and prefer and something to look at and work out how to improve the product and my designs, colour choices, sizing, additions and anything else my brain thinks of. I have memory loss so have to have like cue cards to remember. This is sort of what you are saying here. Amazing. This is very helpful to me. Thankyou
I'm so glad to hear that! Keeping notes and samples is such a powerful way to track your journey and improve your art. It’s like creating your own personalized reference library! Thank you for sharing your process. I love love to read these ideas. 😊😊
That journal was awesome! I keep a small journal with ideas I got from other you tube artists or books & magazines. I think the way you keep the journal with a sample is even better, because you have something to go along with the notes. I have drawn some of the ideas, but I still like your way better. Thank you! For sharing your journal it was very inspiring.
Thank you Esmeralda! I love that you’re keeping a journal of ideas-it’s such a great way to capture inspiration. I’m glad you found my method helpful! As a visual girl, like many of us artists and creatives, having samples really makes it easier to remember the techniques.
I love this idea Francisca. I have so many gelli prints that I love but I can't remember how I got the effects. This is also a great place for me to write down all my ideas so I don't forget them before I try them. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Love the record keeping aspect here. I have a 6” roll of craft painters paper, and it has snippets of my papers. Now I’m thinking I might do some recording. Thanks for the idea❤
I love this idea of keeping a journal of how you did the various techniques. I do the same thing, but I store all the technique recipe information in an electronic journal. For example, for an especially detailed technique, I take pictures after each step is done. Then I save the pictures to an electronic journal entry, with a description of the step with each picture as well as a picture of the final completed technique/project. There are several advantages using an electronic format - I can categorize each entry with various keywords, such as “Watercolor”, “Sewing”, “Fabric”, “Gel Print” and then use the keywords to search for techniques that use a particular feature, such as all my “Gel Print” related techniques. I can also include links to web pages and/or RUclips videos that were used as inspiration for the technique. I have over 500 technique recipes in my electronic journal and build more each week.
Wauuu Cindy, that sounds like a fantastic system! An electronic journal is such a great way to keep everything organized and easily searchable. Plus, having pictures at each step must be super helpful for reference! Thanks for sharing your process. loved reading it.
What a great idea Francesca I have started doing this a little bit in my fragmentsjournal but without the accompanying notes. I can see how I would benefit by adding notes. Thankyou. 😁
Thank you, Francisca. I have enjoyed your teaching on Wanderlust and love your journal idea as a keeper of techniques. I do worry it would take discipline that I sometimes find hard to muster! If you made a video on Momigami, I would start my technique journal with my outcomes!
I keep this type of a notebook for the classes I take. This is a great idea to start one for my own exploration and discoveries. Thanks so much for all the inspiration. ❤
I love the idea of a "What If" Journal! I use this sentence all the time while I'm exploring ideas an techniques. It a perfect way to explore your creativity and experiment with new techniques. I'm thrilled you found my channel. Thank you so much.
I love the concept of exploring further and initiating a record to build on your personal ventures.. Thank you for introducing such a wonderful ongoing project. I would be interested in the mamigami cardboard into faux leather.
I really struggle retaining information due to my health so this is perfect for me THANKYOU so much Francisca . I’m in awe of your work . I’ve just started my mixed media exploration. Xlisa uk x
That’s wonderful, Julianne! It’s great to connect with someone who shares a similar creative process. Exploring ideas through sketchbooks is amazing and a game changer right?. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!😘
@@FranciscaNunes Oh absolutely! I was taught this way from day 1 at art college and i've kept it going and it is the only truly explorative and expansive practice. Without it art/design can be stifled.
What a great idea, I find old projects and dont remember what the technique was called or how I got there so this would definitely help. Thankyou so much 😊
I'm so glad you think so Kelly! It's definitely a game changer for keeping track of techniques and projects. It’s like a little treasure of ideas to revisit. Thank you for your lovely comment!
Hi Margy, Thank you! I'm glad you liked the journal idea. The momigami paper technique is such a beautiful method! I'll consider sharing it in a future video. Stay tuned!😘😘

you have a lot of good ideas. I enjoy watching your channel… You are pronouncing the word “develop” wrong…it is pronounced like: “duh-vel-up”… hope this helps

12:40 you use the term "copy other artists". Google "steal like an artist" by Auston (can't remember last name).
