Walker, there is no path...the path is made by walking!

Introduction
Introducción
Project from the course "Creative Notebook: Experiment with collage, stamping, and decoupage," taught by Ixchel Estrada.
This project involved creating a notebook from a sheet of heavy-weight paper and working on it with inks, markers, and techniques such as decoupage, using papers I printed myself. Emphasizing the use of reused papers or waste materials, I also created collages of images with a common theme.
The theme I've chosen revolves around plants that put on shoes and begin a kind of journey. On this supposed journey, there are encounters, disagreements, or perhaps farewells, parallel but different paths, and even time to share their adventures.
Proyecto del curso "Cuaderno creativo: experimenta con collage, estampación y decoupage", impartido por Ixchel Estrada.
Este proyecto ha consistido en crear un cuaderno a partir de un pliego de papel de alto gramaje e intervenirlo con tintas, rotuladores y técnicas como el decoupage, con papeles estampados por mí, dando importancia al uso de papeles reutilizados o materiales de desecho, y también crear mediante collage imágenes con un tema común.
El tema que he elegido gira entorno a plantas que se calzan unos zapatos y comienzan una especie de viaje. En este supuesto viaje, hay encuentros, desencuentros o quizás despedidas, caminos paralelos pero diferentes e incluso tiempo para contarse sus andanzas.
Materials
Materiales
I used a sheet of 50x70 cm Canson watercolor paper to make the creative notebook.
To work on this notebook, I used water-insoluble inks, markers, stamping inks, and stamps I created in other Domestika courses.
For the decoupage and printing techniques I have used decoupage napkins, tissue paper, craft paper, wrapping paper and tea bags, stamped or printed using engraving or cyanotype techniques.
I have also used royalty-free image clippings, fabric scraps, and washi tape.

Para intervenir este cuaderno he utilizado tintas insolubles con agua, rotuladores, tintas de estampación y sellos creados por mí en otros cursos de Domestika.
Para la técnicas de decoupage y estampación he utilizado servilletas para decoupage, papel de seda, papel artesanal, papel de embalaje y bolsas de té o infusión, estampadas o impresas mediante técnicas de grabado o cianotipia.
También he usado recortes de imágenes libres de derechos, recortes de telas y washi-tape.
Creating the creative notebook

In this step I have limited my color palette to sepia-browns, blues and salmon colors.

Amaya, what can I say? I LOVED YOUR PROJECT! It's incredible, like any theme, it's a "big theme" like this one: travel, plants, and shoes. The project is so cohesive: the color choice, the arrangement of the elements, as well as those blue details with spots and lines in the background. The melon-colored accents and the decoupage elements that accompany the characters' journey. And the arrangement of the elements with these poses that seem to speak, to present themselves, there's even one that seems to flirt. What a lovely project!
Thank you for taking the course, for playing, for adding other techniques and resources, because this enriches the final project. I hope you come back to this course as often as you like! I hope you add many more things to your new experiments and games, and I hope you never stop CUTTING and PASTING! Big hugs!
@estrada_ixchel Thank you so much for your kind words, Ixchel, for your wonderful course and for sharing your creative process, which makes the difficult easier. It's been a true pleasure, and don't doubt there will be more "experiments," more "files," and lots of "cut and paste." Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!!!
