I decided to create tutorials for all of my literary inspired arrangements, as due to illness, I've had to close down all my selling platforms. I'm now taking the opportunity to learn all the arts and crafts which I've always wanted to try.
Weekly, I post a variety of videos documenting my creative journey. These are art and craft based, with a chatty vlog, usually every two weeks. As well as full process, no chat videos of my neurographic, zentangle and art progress.
So do subscribe if you don't want to miss out!
Your support helps to keep me motivated, especially on the days when I'm not feeling so good. Thank you!

Very nice. I hope you are doing well today. I'll be checking out your site. Looks interesting. Take care.
Thank you very much! Have a nice weekend!
Good morning! Wow I love your circles. Your style is developing so beautifully. I loved your dragonfly on the watercolour background. I also do neurographic art on watercolour background. So relaxing. I sometimes take it to the next level and turn them into rocks. I am so glad you are doing well. I have taken the plunge and started livestreaming. My brain cannot handle editing video, so I will just do videos live and leave it at that. I will throw you a follow with my streaming account name (starts with "Digital"). Have an awesome day and thank you again for another inspirational video!
Thank you Lisa, good luck with the livestreaming - not sure I would be organised enough for that!! Thanks for dropping by!
I didn't know about neurographic art. Thanks for sharing and I wish you health and happiness ❤
Thank you, you too!
Neurographic Zentangle freestyle sketchbook drawing in green full process. 👍💛🧡💚
Thanks for visiting
do you know until i saw your channel i had never even heard of neurographic art and i went to medical school they never covered this at all for stroke victims. I find this interesting so thank you for making these videos i have been watching them as my own sister suffered three strokes and is uncommunicative i bought her a sketch pad and some pens and pencils and we've been watching your art videos so I am eager to see what she will create. Yesterday she said thank you for the first time in five years she uttered something other then jibberish
Thank you, I sincerely hope that your sister makes a swift recovery. You must be very happy that she is starting to communicate, she is very lucky to have such a thoughful sibling. All the best to you both.
What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. I'm hopeful the art will catch on. It's calming.
Brilliant I am going to give it a go thank you for sharing 💖💖💖🌹
Hope you have fun doing it! Thanks for dropping by!
Using a dip pen is so satisfying. For the price you paid, you still should have not had the issues you did. I had a painted wood stem that did the same thing. I ended up getting a "speedball" starter set with the two stems and 6 nibs. It was minimally more than what you spent but the stems are all plastic, so no chance of peeling paint. I have had other nibs rust. I think it was from me leaving them in water though. Rubbing with a bit of alcohol will remove the rust. Just be sure to dry them thoroughly. Your tin will be handy to hold the nibs and you could also pop in one of those desiccant packs to make sure no moisture affects the nibs during storage. I do think investing in a set is a wonderful addition because it is very meditative and creates a completely different look and feel than regular liner markers. Awesome video as always!
Thank you Lisa for sharing all of those tips and tricks! Hope you have had a good weekend!
Inspiring! You're good at this 🤩
Thank you! I'll keep trying!
Stunning ❤
Aw, Thank you!
Oh my those dragon flies! I have been exploring them this past week as well. Yours are beautiful! As far as your sketchbook shortage … I gave up on sketchbooks and now just buy the biggest pads I can. Then I cut them down to whatever sizes I want. Sometimes I leave them loose and sometimes I will punch them ahead of time so I can put them in a binder or other binding options. I have been so inspired by you, I have decided to start doing art livestreams. I am terrible with making videos, so I have watched others who just livestream making art so that others can join in and have a calm little art session. We will see how it goes. Thanks again!
Thank you Lisa! I might have to resort to the binder method, thats a good idea, far better than struggling with a sub-standard sketchbook - I do like the idea of looking back on my progress in order, so that might be the way to go... I hope the livestream sessions go well!
Love your color palette, love the variety of line work, just love your work entirely! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! What ink are you using?
Thank you! The Ink is Winsor and Newton Drawing Ink in Cobalt
Mesmerizing and beautiful! I think I see the spot you missed. Is it the center spot right in the middle of your work?
Well spotted! Thanks for dropping by!
Ein wunderschönen meditativen Übungen.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m interested in this palette. In Thailand this palette costs over £25. So I study a lot to make sure it’s worth to pay for or not. Thank you 🙏🏻😊
Good luck!!
What a great video. I am very excited about working with some air dry clay. Just yesterday I was watching a video about how to make your own paint pallets. This one of yours comes at a perfect time. I may just pick up a brick of clay and, some basic tools to get started. I am tapping into my adventurous creator, lol. I hope you have an awesome day. Thank you again for your videos.
Hope you enjoy having a play with some clay at some point! I'm drawing dragonflies today, most relaxing. Have a good weekend!
I had the same problem and then watched a video where they dipped the brush into the white spirits and then almost wiped it dry and then used it without redipping until absolutely necessary. It didn’t make sense to my brain but less works much better than more.
Thank you Cindy! That's just the sort of little tip that makes me want to get my oil pastels out straight away!
Losing your mojo is totally relatable. It can be frustrating because we know what it feels like to have our mojo. You have inspired me so much. I know that having the channel much provide both motivation to do something and frustrations when it doesn’t come. Double edged sword for sure. As I was looking for more things to help me get my mojo back, I came across information that may be of interest to you. July is world watercolour month. The main challenge is to create a watercolour piece every day for the month. Each year a different charity is also attached to it. People can post their finished pieces to fb etc., not. It sounds like an interesting option. Anyways, don’t be disappointed about what you created, it is all more beautiful than you think. There is also beauty in being able to push on while dragging mojo along whether they want to come or not, lol.
Thanks Lisa! The challenge sounds interesting, will look into that. Thanks for mentioning it. Are you taking part in it? Feel like I've been having a slightly better day today! Hope you have a good weekend
@@novellarose423 I am glad to hear you are having a better day. I plan to participate and have joined the fb page. I doubt I will post anything, but it will be a good motivator to do a little every day.
Absolutely mesmerizing.
Thank you, so kind :)
No, not shouting at you, but i am inspired. I have made made many gromes and grome huts. I did learn something from you.... using a tooth brush. Great job! Just found you and so happy i did! Thank you enjoyed the video very much, made me smile and a bit of laughter.
Thank you for letting me know that you dropped by! Gnomes sound like a lot fun!
This interests me a lot. I remember the smell of oil pastels from school, but have not tried them since. I may just pick up a pack and start with an apple or two. 😊😊
I hope you have fun with them if you do!
Just use a separate palet , then the box stays clean 👌 for the price it is a bargain cotman watercolor paint ❤️
Great idea!! Obvious, but I never thought of that - Thanks!
Fantastic as always. I am so glad you had a week to yourself. It is so nice to see you experiment with so many different art forms. It makes me think that I am not fickle, but rather creatively adventurous 😂. Have a great day!
Creatively adventurous! What a brilliant phrase! I see it all as a way to discover new things, who knows where the next project will take you! Hope you have a good few weeks!
Love love the colors. Wonderful.
Thank you!
I love this, and I enjoyed watching you create it. You are an inspiration! Hugs!
Thank you for watching and for letting me know!
Yet another incredibly inspirational video! I have been struggling a bit lately, but now have a newfound motivation to connect with my arty self. Thank you!
Thanks Lisa! Keep going!!
If you are looking for fixes for your needlefelting mistakes. I can highly recommend that you watch this video - if you've ever had a go at needlefelting and failed - you'll laugh! kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3qhlMeYhc_Vp84.htmlsi=B9Cqe-6EzFk4nr6M by @juliesfeltedfriends
I found this video to be mesmerizing! You do beautiful and amazing work. I love it when KZread shows me something new that I really enjoy! I'm curious, how long did it take you to fill your sketchbook? You have inspired me this morning! Thank you!!!
Thank you for your kind comments. I would normally complete at least 1 drawing per day and this A4 sketchbook took about 6 weeks to complete. I do hope you manage to find the time to get creative in your sketchbook too!
These are really beautiful, and peaceful. X
Thank you! 😊
Neurographica is my go to … I do like to include zen tangle….working on both can be zen for sure…but I was told that THERE ARE NO RULES in art. So decided I am not a purist ? So very glad to discover you in line….hi five!❤
Absolutely - No rules in art! Thanks for dropping by :)
Thank you again for posting your progress. I totally understand your struggle with the art journal. I thought that artsy people always had art journals. But, I struggled to figure out what to put in it. I no longer consider doing a journal. I think an art journal would be great if I didn't have time to sketch and paint. I love the direction your neuroart is going in. Have a lovely rest of your day.
Thank you Lisa :)
Great video very informative, thank you very much.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching this with my morning coffee. I have dabbled in depends as well and have used them to do my neurologic art. I have a cheapo set with various nibs that worked just fine for me. I think you did a fantastic job on this piece. I think depend drawing would suit you very well. Keep up the great work.
Ooh dip pen and neurographic... now thats one to add to the list - Thanks for the inspiration, and your kind words! :)
👏👏👏👏so beautiful congratulations
Thank you!
J'aime beaucoup, c'est très beau et réussi. Merci ❤
Thank you!
Such a joy to watch you flip through your journals. I am considering making journals because my pieces just fl loose. It is now getting to be a bit of a mess. Thank you again for posting. 😊
Thank you Lisa, hope all is going well with your progress as well!
They can be a bit fiddly. I’ve got the 14 half pan set and transferred them into a small Meeden tin case, I found they are easier to handle that way.
That might be something to look into, thanks for letting me know.
I am in Canada and we do not have vegiemite or marmite. I have not used pastels since elementary school, but have been thinking about it. I could still smell them as you were drawing. This was a lovely video to watch while having my cup of coffee before anyone else woke up. Another great job. Thank you!!!
Some would say you were lucky to marmite free in Canada! Thanks for stopping by again :) I'm going to get the oil pastels out again later today and have another play with them, to see where else I can take them! Hope you have a good weekend!
Goodness, where to start, first of all I want to say Well aren't you the little ray of sunshine in my day. Im here in New Zealand and its Anzac day so Im still in my jammies, my email from Hobby land showed me this product and Im led down a rabbit hole of questions, and google showed me your clip! So, first things first, your voice reminded me of the great Olivia Colman! Second, what you were creating and with the product reminded me of some earrings I brought 30+ years ago during my hippie faze. Everyone always complemented my (about 1 inch, 2cm) square earrings and asked were they stained glass? No, they weren't they were plastic, kinda like a thin clear Perspex but with this product on...never seen before, and never again until today! So lastly, I want to Thank you for this, now I know yet another project Im going to get moving on and your problem solving and detailing was A+++ Awesome work, keep it up, you've inspired me and Im raring to go!
Aw thank you so much! It's really lovely to hear from you. I hope you have fun with your craft project. Let me know how you get on and if you come across any problems that I didn't find, I can always add that in part 2 - which I'll be working on soon. Take care and thank you for your kind words and enjoy your project!
Good morning. Another great video that just let me relax with my morning coffee. I love how you are coming along with your neuro tangle. I have not used pastels since grade school. Hmmmmm, maybe.
Thank you Lisa, hope you are making some good progress with your Zentangle as well!
That was so nice to have in the background while I was having my morning coffee and doing my journaling. Thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for dropping by :)
oh my goodness, I could easily comment on each and every timestamp. I laughed and was truly inspired by the entire video. I think you may be my spirit animal, lol. I too admire those who can just do "swoosh swoosh" and produce bouquets of absolute beauty in watercolour. I tried my hand at "easy flowers" last night and I am sure that my dog could do better simply walking through the paint. Ha Ha Ha. I will keep trying. I did manage to start a free 3 month trial of amazon kindle unlimited and have set up a sketch book to learn how to zentangle. I now have a book downloaded with the step by step. This will be a great use for the paper that doesn't like watercolour paints or markers. UGGG. My goal is to learn a new "tangle" every day. I love your ability to just talk about whatever comes to mind. BTW I also need a hat, lol. Thank you for the health update. I am so glad you are experiencing less brain fog. Anyway, thank you for the lovely coffee time. It really did make my day!
Aw Thank you for that! I'm so glad It's not just me that isn't managing to swoosh perfectly! Well, not glad exactly - would be wonderful for you if you were a swoosher too! Hope you manage to get some good tangles in over the weekend.. although it sounds like we might both be hat shopping :)
Thank you, I think I might go for purple and gold leaf😊👍🏾
That sounds like a lovely combination!
Thank you so much for sharing. What an awesome collection.
Thank you :)
This is an awesome video. I have tried both techniques and like them both. I particularly like the salt for when I am doing abstracts. The cling film is wonderful as a background effect. :)
Maybe I should try a few abstracts.. might be trying to hard with to make something perfect! Thank you for dropping by :)
Thank You so much for sharing
Thanks for watching! :)
One way to get the paints to stick in their basins is to put some warm water on them enough to seep around in into the bottom to cause them to stick in place when dry. Another thing to be aware of if you continue in using watercolors, which I hope you do, is to avoid tube brands that use honey in them (like Sennellier and M. Graham) so you don't end up with a mess when they run in your kit. At least until you're ready for that. It's all a learning curve. But please do enjoy the journey!
Thank you for the tips! Warm water sounds a lot easier to use to help them stay in place. Thank you for your words of support as well :)
Ah yes, I really enjoyed the update on the neurographic style designs. I think they are fantastic. Great job. I look forward to following you as you continue your art journey.
Thank you! You'll have to let me know how you get on as well!
I discovered neurographic art and love it. It truly does what they say it does. I just discovered zentangle and was really interested in creating the 3d effects. I think I have learned that the neuro art is best used when really wanting to clear my mind and calm my anxiety. zentangle is great when I want to explore new patterns that create something anyone can see and go "ah cool". I think I am going to do what you suggested and try to find zentangles that are a natural fit into my neuro art. Thank you for doing this video. Loved it.
Totally agree! The neurographic is more flowing and requires no thought. I have been working on merging the two together over the past week, do drop by tomorrow as I'll be publishing my 'Crafty Update' and revealing all the Neurographic vs Zentangle merges! Thank you for dropping by and for your kind words :)
I'm just learning zentangle myself and I think what pleases and attracts me the most is the repeated patterns. It's very calming, isn't it? Your doodle turned out very good. I especially liked the last one you showed (the one in yellow). Good luck!
Yes, now that I've started I can't stop.. I've been doodling away in my sketchbook all week! Thanks for dropping by :)
