- Furniture art is all about texture and layers. In this project i use paint, stencils, Molds, clay, plaster of paris, varigated gold leaf, Bentonite clay to thicken paint and lots of layers and textures to create somehting original and unique. Look at any art and the greats used texture and layers to make their unique art. I do my best to explain it all and show you how to do it.
I love how you fearlessly layer and reveal. You are full of never-ending creative surprises❤
I do very much appreciate the Middle Eastern vibe of this piece, design, texture and the layers of colors.
Kudos to Marteen for the 🎶 🎵.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it Maryka x
I can't believe how beautiful this turned out! I want doors like that in my whole house, I'm with Martyn on that! I just look at that and see magic. You are so talented, and you keep getting better every video! I did love the music at the end as well. Made me think of belly dancing lol! I was picturing big fluffy cushions, silky curtains, and bells clinking from the belly dancing skirts. 🥰
Fabulous piece, love the innovative ideaswith the plaster of paris. Colores a red trehe by !! Luv it, xxoo
I so look forward to spending time with you. You would be someone I would love to live close to and visit regularly. Thinking of you both.

Yes you could come round for tea and cake x
Wow ! What a glorious mess ! I love it Xx
I love your experiment!! "Bold for the WIN" !!
Love how your mind works!! Watching your videos are like being in the same room with you while you are creating! So relatable! Seemingly NO filters. You do what you gotta do to get your vision done! I’ll say it again no other furniture artist that I have watched shares their gift the way you do! Can’t get enough of your resourcefulness ( whew! that’s a big word! ) and knowledge. You always seem to care that your audience understands your method of why and what for. You are a natural teacher. Sorry this is so long, but eh🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
A❤ is enough reply
Glenda, don't apologise it was a lovely comment to receive x x
After all this time of watching you work I have come to the realization that you are the Jackson Pollick of furniture painting. I mean that as a compliment. Your drips and your texture all show the genius of your unique design.
Agreed! I look for other furniture artists to follow and no one compares with Lel's work for me. Many other fine artists producing lovely pieces of painted furniture, but Lel's work is on another level entirely.
You'll think I'm crazy (well, you know I am) I love the door as it is with the greenny/blue, the spray on paint--genius--the Emperor Silk with the roller. I love old and grungy.
Oh I love old and grungy ❤️ and I live to feel all the paint and layers.... And I never think you are crazy x
Theres nothing stopping you doing it again on a piece of furniture. I love that Martin supports everything you do and encourages you all the way. What a fabulous hubby. I love this kind of work. Maybe look into lebanese homes as well. Its so similar. Ive been collecting pictures of what i want in my home and something like this is perfect.
Oooo La La Sassoon!!!
Another jaw dropping, mind blowing, heart thumping creation!
Sunday Art School!
loveLoveLOVE❣️❣️❣️
Oh that is GORGEOUS! Loved all of the fabulous tips, definitely going to grab some variegated gold leaf! You've done yourself proud ! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Oh my god. I love it! I'm contemplating all my icky modern doors in the house and their days of being icky and modern are now numbered! You are just amazing.
Awwwww yes go for it, Do your doors, Do your doors ( Lel chanting) 😂
May I request a video showing you using your papers to make a piece of wall art? I know you normally do furniture pieces but a lot of us are not only tired of looking at the outdated decor hanging on our walls but would love to start on & gain some experience with something smaller before doing furniture 😊
Love the tile and texture techniques, TTT. Always so informative. The doors in my studio basement are calling.
Go for it Dana, do those doors x
Wow!!! What a beautiful staging door😍❤️! Love watching you create your magic☺️
Thanks for watching gigi and leaving a kind comment x
Another fabulous tutorial! Layering is the secret weapon for just about any piece, love it! Thank you again and always ❤
Wow!! Just lovely as usual!!!!❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Brava🎉 Medissimo🎉❤ What could I say that hasnt already been said? I admire you both from afar here in Copperas Cove Texas. Love the piece and the process. watching you often will push me through a stuck spot on a project. Thank you for sharing your process and technique.
I almost choked to death laughing when you threw the orange paint out of the spray bottle. The finished product may or may not turn out to be my style, but, OH!, I'm enjoying watching this "experiment".
Ha ha ha I got board of the spray bottle 😂😂😂
You both make me laugh 😃 I absolutely love watching your videos and learning at the same time. I also love that Martin is as passionate about your work as you are 💜 You make an amazing perfect couple/team! Your finished pieces never cease to amaze me 😍💜 This one turned out absolutely gorgeous 💙🧡
Thanks Kim, oh it's brilliant working with marty he does as great job of filming x
Absolutely gorgeous!♥️
Thank you! Cheers!
"You probably think I've lost my mind this week but you know you probably think that every week..." 😀😂🤣
Yes we do and we are AMAZED by it!! 🥰💖
Another great tutorial… luv that stencil. Great colors… you could stop several steps and it would still be amazing! Scraping back to reveal the blue looked great!
Oh the scraping us really fun x x
At the very beginning that first glance of this door, took my breath away! Oh my, this is something to behold. You must have been up night's planning all you wanted to do for this texture demonstration. From the get go you were working a mile a minute, understandably, given how many layers and processes it was going to contain. You have to be so pleased with the result. Truly an outstanding 'Made by Marley' work of art. How long were you actually planning this? Can't imagine how you are able to show up every week with a new project, each one unique. I know you also paint quite a few other pieces, on average, how many finished pieces do you complete each week? I also know you are busy working on producing your line of stencils which is very time consuming, are you also painting furniture? You have mentioned that you would like to move closer to town, is that still in the works??? It's summer, and I notice you are still wearing a jacket in the 'barn' has the hot weather not yet reached Scotland? We had a week of over 32 Celsius, unbearable for me, but it has thankfully cooled off considerably. I can't take the heat, and although Ithaca generally has long cold winters and cooler summers, our climate has changed... Not good at all. Has 'climate change' affected where you live as well? You have to know by now that I admire you like no other. Forgive me for always telling you how much I love your work, but how could I not tell you? Do you get tired of all the adoring comments that I and your many viewers bestow on you? "Love Makes the World Go 'Round"... Have a marvelous and productive week. (Get some sleep!) Thank you for this wonderful and long detailed video. Much LOVE to you and Martyn! ~ Sydni PS - Martyn, the music was right-on! Just perfect for this piece & very enjoyable. Thanks for all you do!
Totally
Awesome &Magical!
Thanks so very much for watching and commenting x
Luv door handle!💞
Thanks so much x
Ooo la la is right🤩🤩🤩 love it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Inspiring, love it. So freeing..and fabulous.
Thanks so much! Janet yes it's very freeing x
Omg I laughed so hard when you threw the paint at the door - just needed some good Scottish curses
Oh I have plenty of those x
Those colors!! Stunning! I love the textures too and hope to try this! The tile effect is brilliant. You are such a master that even experimenting on camera works too. Plus it’s such a good thing to see how you problem-solve, because that’s when we learn the most. ❤
Funny story: in my 20s I worked on Maui, living in a ramshackle house with a bunch of other poverty-stricken kids. The house was falling apart and falling down… And there was a door propped up against the wall. I was taking a nap and a huge Trade Wind blew into the house and blew the door down right on me! I was relatively OK, weirdly. Until I saw the huge nail sticking out of the door that had just missed my head. 😂
You certainly were very lucky! So what were you doing with other kids in Maui? A tale worth telling.
Oh my goodness thank goodness the nail missed you, that was a totally freak accident......
Glad you lived to tell the tale and leave me such a goid comment.
Lel x
It's taken 2 goes to watch this. This morning in bed over muesli and tonight after work with a glass of wine. To he honest I couldn't concentrate after a few minutes cos I wanted let loose with my scraper 🤣🤣🤣. The texture and the colours are just so my jam. Marty is right we should all have textured bright bohemian doors 🧡🧡🧡
Oh I'm like that when I see people paint I have to go and paint.
Yes we need more textured doors in our life x
Вы меня вдохновили, Лель. Ваша работа соединила русские орнаменты, турецкие и индийские. Благодарю за вдохновение.
Very cool comment 🎉
Wasn't that kind x
How nice I'm glad you could see the mix and glad you left me such a great comment, I appreciate you watching x
Wow! Love love loooove the texture. How effective is that!!!! That scraping in the end is just magic. Thanks again for another inspiring video. And that plaster of Paris technique was Mickey Mouse! Very cool.
You are so welcome
Another beauty 🥰🎆
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome! Love the detail.
Thank you! Cheers!
On my list of things to do is to paint all the doors in my hallway. I started on the utility door in my laundry room. It has lots of moulds of birds, branches and leaves. I love your exuberance and I think your door will make a beautiful backdrop for your staging!
Oh you sound like you are going to be busy x
Thanks for the fun and informative video! Beautiful Lel. Definitely got the Moroccan look down pat! Super job and will definitely be a great piece to use in your staging! Love the fancy gold leaf and your eye for detail such as adding the tiny mirrors! You are so tuned into your project! Have a great week the two of you! xxx🩷🩷🩷
Thanks so very much for the super thanks Cathy Ann that's so very kind, I'm so glad you liked the tutorial x
@@MadebyMarley Loved it as I do all of your videos. Oh my I've been working like a work horse organizing my supplies and have found all of the Made by Marley papers I had ordered. It was better than Christmas. I lost track of everything when I was having health issues. Have been feeling better so taking advantage of that to get organized. My buffet is upright on it's side waiting for me to begin it's restorational redo! I've decided I may have become a craft supply hoarder!!!! Taking me forever to go thru everything and sort it so I know at least which bin to look in for what I need!!!!
Keep up the great work you do! Can't wait for your next video. 🩷🩷
Beautiful as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello Lel and Martin, what a beautiful project. I love the colors. Thank you for showing how to blend.
Martin, I have a special request for you. When Lel mixes her paints on the floor or on the side, would you ALWAYS film that for us? It is important because she shows how to off-load extra paint for stencils and how she loads her brush to have 2 or more colors on it and other "tricks of the trade." Thank you very much.
I sincerely hope that some warmth will come to your part of the world and that you will have a wonderful, healthy week.
Hugs,
Eve
Eve I've have plenty of videos where I've shown and discussed stencilling at length.... Maybe go back and watch them if your not sure. We will try yo get it right next week for you....
@@MadebyMarley it's not just that. It's always a good reminder and good to see you loading up the brushes, mixing colors, loading off the brushes. I have seen most of your videos and i always want to see how you prepare your brush and/or mix your paints. In this video, you were loading the brush with 2 or more green colors for blending and i was curious to see how you were doing it, but Martin only showed one glimpse of it. That's why i asked to see how you do these things. All things. That's how i learn. Thank you.
Hugs.
🎉 AMAZING, thank you so much for this lovely video and your useful advices 🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching x
Absolutely love this door such beautiful colours, shapes and patterns.
As always, it's a joy spending time with you both! 🤩
Thanks so much 😊 we appreciate you watching and commenting x
❤❤❤ it’s a WOW piece 👌😳x
Thanks Valerie x
Kinda speechless. Always something new to learn. I. Behind in my videos….too much summer and gardening and horse! And I gotta tell you , that stable floor is to die for. Can you come do my house? 😍🥰😘
Ha ha ha.... Well you have to enjoy the summer while it's here, well you do in Scotland as you get get much sun x
I love experiments 😂, I'm loving watching this Lel ❤
Yes... Me to I must admit I don't live this one but neither do I dislike it it was the stencil I used on the faux tile..... It wasn't great but I ran with it x
@@MadebyMarley I really like it Lel and it will be amazing for staging like you said. I always sneak love hearts into my paintings when I can be bothered to do them 😁
I just used copper foil on a piece yesterday, but had admired the variegated version. Thank you for confirming how amazing it displays. I have to admit I was a bit concerned about the direction you were going, but "trust the process." Thanks for experimenting so we don't have to. 😅
Ahhh well I had a vision.... I learned a few things ... But the over all look I don't dislike x x
I love it. It is freaking awesome, We closed the shop today because we are texturing and painting the other 1/2 of the store. You gave me an amazing idea for the ugly door we have here going into the furnace room. 😉
Perfect Tonia...make sure you post a photo in the group si we can all admire it 🧡
Oh yes tonia, do your door cheer it up and give it's chance to shine x
Thanks!
Thanks so very very much Marla x x
🌞🌞🌞
❤️❤️❤️
this is outstanding certainly a masterpiece in my book ❤ looked like hard work reaching to the top my arm ached watching you 😂 thankyou both for brilliant tutorial and video x
Yes..... It was a very tall door x x
I use pva in my paints. Acrylics. Lol. You can use it on translucent paints for windows as well. Ive done it for years but watch mark montano, he also does it.
Yes I've put it in paints but I've never added it to plaster.... Its so many great uses and can even be used as a primer...
My primary hobby is miniatures. I'm watching your videos because I want to Boho some old pieces of dollhouse furniture for fun. I absolutely love your style, all the others on TH-cam are too restrained for me. I originally came on to ask some advice, is it possible to colour chalk paint with acrylic paint, I don't want to buy lots of different chalk paint colours for the tiny little bit I will need for a seven inch tall wardrobe 😂
Yes you can.... Just mix chalk paint with acrylic I do it all the time it's just fine. Your project sounds fabulous..... When it's finished send me some pictures to Lel at sales@madebymarley.co.uk
Wow! Love love loooove the texture. How effective is that!!!! That scraping in the end is just magic. Thanks again for another inspiring video. And that plaster of Paris technique was Mickey Mouse! Very cool. What crackle did you use? Or was it the crackle stamp form the vintage textures stamp?? I can’t wait to play around with some super thick texture now.
Yes play around with texture you really get some fab looks x
Woo hoo get that lid ripped off 😂😂😂
Ha ha ha
I have to ask. Are prima the same as iod molds? Every time i ask for iod i get prima up on my amazon. Do iod have a stamp on tgeir molds?
They are different brands.
No they are completely different brands.... I prefer iod but I also enjoy redesign.... Iod has the name of the mould stamped on either the front or if its a new mould the side.
Do u know name of stencil?
No sorry, any stencil will do then it's unique to you, I didn't even think about I just picked the first on the pile x 😂
@@MadebyMarley thanks, I just liked the flat edge … found some similar on amazon. Would luv to go through ur stencil stash… lol. Thanks again!
HOW do you know, Lel? Ha,ha!
Ha ha because I've done everything in the book wrong..... Everything I learned the hard way and I'm still getting things wrong Zoe.... I learn all the time. That's why it's good to experiment x
