I really like what you did with the swatches! I have been meaning to make my own (no computer or printer) but I didn't know where to start. Once again you pulled me through and the number idea is genius. I don't really scramble through anymore, I have a pencil case now! Thanks again for your help. Now....what was I looking for in the first place? Jeeeeez. So much to learn, videos to watch, and now more fancy supplies. Fancy paper I am skipping that freaky eraser in order to avoid mouse holes in the paper and a big supply of batteries. Off I go before my phone catches on fire.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this swatching video, Lee Anne! I've since added a LOT to my little swatch book. It's so fun, and the best part is you can rearrange the colors in any order that makes sense to you - not how the box ordered the pencils, etc. Pencil cases.... I need one or two more now LOL!!! And you're cracking me up about the freaky eraser! Thanks for always watching and sharing your feedback. I wish you so much happiness and creativity in 2024, Lee Anne! 💗

Such a great idea Kim. Especially for those of us who would like to make our own swatches in our own colour orders 😁 I shall be having a go at this for sure! Thank you for the video ☺️

@snickerdoodlingllc 3 месяца назад

Yay, Debbie! I hope that this works great for you. I can't wait to see your journal. 💖💖💖

@vivianrushing9405 4 месяца назад

Very good idea I’m going to try this I want all my swatches together so I can just flip through whichever colors I’m using and numbers are great idea also❤

@snickerdoodlingllc 4 месяца назад

Oh I'm so glad you found this video helpful, Vivian! My little book is filling up, and I probably should do an update so y'all can see. I love the numbering system, too. I can't take credit for that, but think it's a genius idea. Please keep me updated on how this goes for you! 💖💖💖

You"be simplified color charts extremely thoroughly. Thanks so very much. No more spending money when making charts is now so easy. Circles are seem much better choices than a box or a rectangle. To me anyway.

@snickerdoodlingllc 10 месяцев назад

Nancy, I'm so excited that you found this tutorial to be helpful! I agree- circles are soooo much easier to color that blocky squares or rectangles. If you try this, please tag me so I can see what your journal looks like! Thanks for always being here and watching, sweet friend! 💖💖💖

@karrykae3010 10 месяцев назад

I will be doing a swatch journal for sure! I also label and tape my labels, but only if they are not numbered already. That may change if i want better color grouping. We shall see. Fun video. Thanks for all the good tips😊

@snickerdoodlingllc 10 месяцев назад

I can’t wait to see how you do your journal, Karry! I’m envisioning mid-century modern line art somewhere in there…. I know it will be amazing. And yes! Pencil numbering has been a game-changer for me. Thanks for stopping by and watching. Enjoy your day, sweet friend! 💖💖💖

Putting my prisma color in color family changed my life, lol, i really had no idea how much it would help and how much it would improve the cohesiveness of my page❤

@snickerdoodlingllc 10 месяцев назад

I'm telling you, that was a real game-changer for me!! It's helped take my coloring to the next level. I'm glad you've had the same experience, sweet friend!! 💖💖💖

@valerieb8006 10 месяцев назад

I Really like your idea. I can get a mixed media book at Walmart. I also think the circles look more pleasing than squares, for Me. Thanks very much Kim for another helpful video!🥰🙋

@snickerdoodlingllc 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, Valerie! A agree that circles are so much easier to color in than squares. I hope you try this. I’d love to see what you come up with! Thanks for always watching 💖💖💖

Thank you, you help me a lot with heavy and light pressure of pencils. I prefer round swatches, too. For circles, I use the cap of a lipstick and a waterproof stamp pad (like ranger arhival small pad) or make your own with a blanc pad and whiteboard ink.

@snickerdoodlingllc 3 месяца назад

Hi, Sofia! I am so glad you found this video o be helpful to you. I love the idea of using an inkpad to make the circles. what a time saving idea! I can't wait to try this. I really appreciate you stopping by my little channel. Thank you so very much! 💖💖💖

@nicolalehmann7608 10 месяцев назад

Great video Kim!! There’s nothing I love more than organizing my art supplies and charting my pencils 😊. I love the idea of cross referencing your pencils with numbers. Just may have to do this for my polys! Thank you also for the shoutout, my friend ❤

@snickerdoodlingllc 10 месяцев назад

I was laughing at how much I botched my explanation of how I numbered my polys. I honestly couldn't remember in the moment. Whoops!! And you are sooooo welcome! Your video was amazing, and I felt like others would enjoy it as well. Enjoy your day & thanks for being such a sweet friend, Nicola! 💖💖💖

I love this. I've started doing this too. Instead of circles I've done flowers 😂 because I'm nuts and I've got like over 500 pencils at the moment 😅😅

@snickerdoodlingllc 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much!! The flowers for swatching colors … what a beautiful idea!! I love it!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching. I truly appreciate you 💖💖🙌🏻

Had a chuckle at God's team!! 😂 I tried to make my own swatch charts, but found I'm not organized enough and didn't like the look of them... Your handwriting is beautiful! 😍 Doing 0 with a slash makes it easy to distinguish from an O. 👍 I ended up getting swatch books from Amazon. That was much easier for me!! 🤣😂

@snickerdoodlingllc 10 месяцев назад

Oh I hear you! I have that one swatch journal I featured in the video and it’s been amazing (I still love it). But my black widow pencils kind of outgrew it. I have toyed with designing a swatch journal book for people. But might have to reconsider…. Thanks for always watching, dear Karen! 💖💖💖
