Thanks for this simple but important tip @mi.chi.mi - “When making a new design or learning a new technique I write it down in my #jewelryjournal it helps me remember how I did the design or worked the technique and sometimes I'll even tape the elements to the journal as I did here!” I’m sometimes trying to remember what I did like 🤔 I’m going to follow this advice and start keeping a binder! I worked for someone who scanned /photocopied elements and kept them in a binder along with detailed instructions. P.S Also must credit I found this tip using hashtag #smithychallenge which is a fun little rabbit hole to go down! #metalsmithsociety #benchjeweler #creativepeople #handmadejewelry #jewelrymakingprocess #jewelrymakingtips
