A holiday bauble painted with alcohol ink. 👩‍🎨

This is one of the techniques I enjoy most. First, I drip ink on some plastic wrap, wrap the ornament up, and let it sit overnight. Then, the big reveal.

Adding some patterns to the neurographic art. Work in progress

Do you know that doodling has been shown to help with mindfulness? In studies that have been done, they call it #neurographicart but I still call it doodling.👩‍🎨
