I love it when you talk and when you talk with Martin. It’s more like we’re there with you and when you’re sick in bed, it makes your tiny world bigger. It’s like getting to hang out with the two of you while I learn some things and see you work your magic. And I’m sure I speak for most of us when I say, we love listening to you and never once have I thought oh she talks too much. Seriously just not so. And I want to tell you again that I am excited this is such a long episode. It’s perfect for a slow Sunday morning and to really learn things and see how you create them and how you fix mistakes. It’s The whole package with you and Martin and I thank you. Now I’m gonna watch you do your magic and I do know that I love the colors you did. I love red and my second favorite color is maroon. So I’ll shut up now and watch your video lol.
Awww I'm sure if you had to listen to us all day you would soon tire. However I do know what you mean sometimes people you see on TH-cam become like a familiar family and I feel proud you enjoy the channel so much. Stay well I know your health is not good.... I also love a red burgandy shade x
Sunday mornings with Lel and Martin is a great start for the week. Instructional, detailed, and brilliantly designed. Thank you for sharing, and please keep rotating subjects, always something new.
The two of you work so well together.... I so enjoy how you talk your ideas out and that you can change your idea and go for it... I cant wait till your designed paper comes my way.... The wait is sooo worth it.... Sunday mornings coffee in hand... A great day... Like you say just take your time... Dont rush it... Step back fresh eyes... I could have all your work in our home if I had the room.... Have a great week you two... Thank you.. See ya next Sunday....
I've read all the comments.....I've nothing to add. You are BRILLIANT!! Your work, AMAZING!! AND I LOVE listening to you. Your accent is just delightful to this southern American. I alwwys look forward to Sunday mornings. Time to learn, laugh and enjoy. Thanks to you both!! ❤
I don’t think I have yet come to really realize the power of stencils and how much they can truly transform a piece. I love the custom hand painted look you get thats really guided by the stencil. I love the color choices on this one too. Great job Lel❤❤❤
Hi ya Lel and Martyn. Boy OH Boy just ❤this little cupboard. It can certainly go anywhere in any room . Just ❤the colours , and that touch of gold leaf inside the doors , and just ❤the gold leaf stencils inside the cupboard. You’ve created another Beauty Lel . Oh and for the piece of resistance the gold tassels ❤❤them . And want to CONGRATULATE you both 5k just Brilliant you deserve it 👏👍 Till nxt time Beautiful people ❤ya x
That was just so fantastic. I had my note book to hand to write down all your tips and hints! I feel much more confident to try gold leaf now on my next piece. And you prove that stencilling really can be an art form in itself. Brilliant tutorial Lel. Thank you so much 💓
That's kind I'm glad your going to give hold leaf a try Frances, honestly it's so really easy. You will be gold leafing everything ha ha its very addictive x
I cannot find the words to fully express just how much I love this piece. It would work perfectly in my living room and I love it so much that even if it didn’t, I’d put it there lol❣️❣️😍😍. Oh, and Martin that music at the end did justice for this piece 👍🏼👏🏼
Stencils on steroids! Stamps, stencils, decoupage….I have learned to love them all from YOU! And I don’t have a big stash yet but as you have said, you can make it work with what you have. And it does. I have to say the use of acrylic paint pens has totally transformed my work….and where did I learn that from? YOU! No words to say thank you, just know I wait eagerly for my Sunday night date with you and the lovely Martyn. And when my current pens run out I’ll be getting Posca! 🥰😘😍🙌🏻
Luv luv luv it!! Absolutely perfect. I just completed a double chair to a bench. I used dixie belle shine. It is like gold leaf, but it never flakes off the paper. You dont get all the waste and mess like gold leaf. You helped alot with explaining stenciling, now i wil be hearing "swirly twirly", when i do it again! Fabulous piece guys.
@MadebyMarley well, I can't imagine all that left over foil with the gold leafing. This is just their version of it i guess. I show it being used on my latest vid, and I am going to use it on my next vid up on Sept. 23rd for a challenge. I will know for sure it's a keeper after this current piece I am doing. If it works as well as the first time around, it's a keeper!
New subscriber! This stencil tutorial was exactly what I needed to see. Many years ago I stenciled a border on my walls but wouldn’t dare do it on furniture. You’ve opened many options to me now. Great tutorial. Absolutely gorgeous piece. I can’t wait to share this with my husband. He’s always suggesting I stencil a piece. I’m legally blind. Anything I do takes an enormous amount of energy. You’ve inspired me to try something on furniture I wouldn’t have dreamed of doing. Thank you.
Love this piece❣️🦚 You two create the most amazing tutorials, videos, artworks. Sunday Art Class filled with information & inspiration! Gonna put Gold Leaf, Posca Pens, and baking soda in my shopping cart right now. Happy Sunday!🌻🌻🌻
I was so excited to see that I had another of your videos to watch! I missed this one. I had to look at the staging at least 3 times because this piece is so phenomenal. Another masterpiece! 👏🏻. ❤❤❤❤❤. It seems like with every video you make it gets better and better. Someday you should do a tour of your place in one of your videos. It looks so quaint and cottagy 😊
It is a 250 year old cottage, beautiful in the summer freezing in the winter. The stable I paint in is the same age. I'm blessed but when my last few kids leave for university marty and I plan to move into the town..... For basic things like broad band and heating ha ha ha
Gosh this was such a fantastic session. You are just so talented, and so very generous in the knowledge that you share, in such a friendly and helpful way. Thank you.
Love the cabinet. I am also so excited about the llama decoupage paper. I should be receiving mine on Tuesday along with the beautiful Santa paper. Can hardly wait! Thank you for all the information, it is so helpful.
Lel I can't wait for your stencils to come out. I often make my own as I'm skint and can't find what I like for a decent price. Looking forward to seeing your creativity in a stencil and buying one or two 😁
Goodness, I must have missed that you are planning on creating some of your own stencils. Can not wait!!! Good thing that once you get this enterprise going, you will be able to add more designs much easier. Things are moving up for you guys.@@MadebyMarley
It’s absolutely beautiful. I picked up some more tips and understanding for how to get the look I’m wanting. But I have to say that piece of furniture in the background beside you. I hope you did a video on that one because if you did, I can’t wait to see it❣️❣️ Even if you don’t have a video of you doing that piece beside you, I’d love it if you could do a quick showing of the piece. When I say quick, it’s to not put you out an inconvenience you not because I want it to look to be super fast lol.
I don't have a video it took a week to paint. These pieces are what I sell best in the uk.... I am currently filming a course on the look. That's why that one is sitting off to the side as I am going to be using it as an example. If you follow me on Facebook I will be putting lots of close ups on that one this week. I'm glad you like it, it's what I love to do best but boy it's hours and hours of repetition... But worth it. X
Sign me up for the course you are creating. What fun it will be! And I'll be looking out for the pictures posted of that piece that took you a week (wow) to create!@@MadebyMarley
Beautiful!! And great “add ons” with the dots. I love watching you and listening to you and Martin. You’re lovely to watch! Such an artist. Thank you from Montana
Hello from Southern Illinois, United States. I love your work. I just discovered your channel a few days ago and have just loved watching your videos. You are so amazingly creative and make such beautiful furniture. I wanted to share that I have in fact used the 3M Super 77 Multipurpose adhesive spray to do gold leaf with using stencils and works very well. No issues with it later coming off either. I also use it to hold ky stencils in place and it does not leave any residue on the piece when u remove it. The trick to that is to spray ot on the back of the stencil and let it sit for a minute and become tacky then it's good to go. Same for using it to gold leaf. Spray it on the stencil design let it become tacky and gold leaf it then let it sit for a few minutes and brush the excessive off as usual. Works like a charm for me. Thank you for the great tutorials you are doing. I'm learning so much especially about using alot of color and being more colorful in my designs. Much love from the U.S. Becky
Hey becky I so use tacky spray sometimes to hold a stencil on.... However you have seen me I just normally hold a stencil. I really appreciate you giving the brand you use for hold leaf that's very much appreciated and I'm off to purchase some right now. Thanks so much Lel x
@@MadebyMarley I forgot to add if you use it to gold leaf use it on the back of your stencil first to stick it down really well to your piece then make sure to cover the other parts of your piece with a cloth, towels, plastic, cardboard just whatever to cover the other areas so when u spray the design inside the stencil you dont get the spray on the other parts of your piece. I believe Kacha and Brushed by Brandy have both shown how to use it inside stencils to gold leaf. It does really give a nice clean design bc theres no seepage under the stencil as opposed to what can happen brushing it on. Give it a try. I really like the 3m spray. Works really well and doesnt leave residue on the piece you are doing. Have a wonderful week! Much love, Becky
Great tutorial, thank you for all the tips and advise. It's a really beautiful piece of art. When you opened the cupboard doors the stencilled flower looks like the sun rising and lighting up the golden shelf. Beautiful.
Lel, this is absolutely stunning! As much as I love your textured finishes, this smoother finish allows more of the detail in the stencils & the gold leaf to have centre stage…love it 🤩🤩🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They are 2 different looks it very much depends I guess.... On what you see and what you like. I like them all. Thanks so much for your kind comment I appreciate it x
I like what you have to say....and never said or thought you talk to much.....watching this for the 3rd time because I am getting ready to do this on a small computer desk
It's a beauty the big one in the background. It took a solid week to do it's sitting there because I'm currently filming a course on how to do the intricate tricky stuff. And it's a show model ha ha I will be putting it out on my socials this week if you want to see pictures of it x
Ha ha well I wasn't gonna waste it, I will deal with the lump next time ha ha ha ha I think it's best just to be myself so you get it all warts and all..... I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wait till you watch the video that I didn't like what I had done so used my sleeve to clean it.... Marty was shook... Ha ha
@@MadebyMarley my legs get covered in paint, we are so alike lol. I wipe my stencils on my bare legs to get the damp paint off because I can't wait to flip it over and reuse 😂. I wish I could show you what I did to my laminate flooring when I was painting during the night... I need a new floor 😂. Never stop being you Lel, you're bloody amazing x
This is so absolutely unbelievable. I wish I had that piece! I need that stencil! Jacob Zook is one of my favorite artists, he makes Pennsylvania Dutch art (or used to). Anyways, love the folk art look with the blended paint and in the stenciling. Then the gold doors inside! 😍 you are inspiring me so much, I can’t wait to try something like this! ♥️ thank you both for your beautiful job and thanks again for explaining how to do all this, what steps you’re looking forward to doing (helps me to understand your process, which will help me!), and just the techniques you’re doing, helping to take the intimidation factor out of it all. You’re one of the greats, please don’t stop making these videos! Appreciate you.
Are you planning to attend the Painters Business Academy in September? I hope to go and would love to meet you. I really enjoy your videos. Your work is inspiring and I love the way you are so natural. Its refreshing to have a British accent instead of an American one.
Thanks for the stenciling tips Lel. I always seem to make a mess of it & yes, I've always "pounced" the paint on, not the circling application. Have you ever used stencil adhesive? I have some but never tried it. This piece is beyond gorgeous!!!! Hope the both of you have a lovely day!!!
Awww yes the pouncing jyst invites bleed through. Yes I do use tacky spray if I'm using a extra large stencil. Or when I can't get a proper secure grip... Its handy stuff if your worried you might move your stencil. Thanks for watching see you next week x
WOW, I'm speechless. Gorgeous doesn't even come close. It is amazing. Do you know in USA dollars how much something like this would be priced. I can't say it enough, you are an amazing artist 😊 And you are so cute ,I love your attitude .
Right? I think you were hovering around 1k when I first started watching you guys and I couldn't believe it wasn't more. You earned it with always a job well done!@@MadebyMarley
Wow that’s fabulous Leslie, thank you so much, a very inspiring video, I always learn so much. My stencils always bleed and now I know why, cheers Kathryn 😊
Hi Kathryn, yes bleed through we all have suffered. It's been many years of mistakes that has led me to getting it just right.... Thanks for watching x
Oh WOW❣️this is the most fancy little cabinet. I love it. I love the inside of the cabinet! The gold is perfect inside and the handle are perfect too. You are so talented. I love watching you work. I am working on a chair that will take forever because I keep changing my mind 🤣Thank you for sharing all of your tips with us. Oh tell Martin he did a great job too!
@@MadebyMarley Oh, bless you, Lel. Believe me, I would if only I could.❤ First, I would embrace and squeeze you🤗🤗🤗, and then, I would shamelessly eat all your cake🍰 😂🤣😂
I know what you mean about some lessons being too complicated. Such cute stencils! Your shoes!!! Adorable. The pens enhance the piece so well... I love how Martyn gets the surprise of something Lel suggests and then he laughs and laughs! "Don't panic Martyn!" Eye Twitch...too funny.! Lel, just beautiful! Congrats on 5K... Where did you find that jazzy music, Martyn?
Love the cabinet. I tried the tacky spray for gold leaf and I got a smeary mess...no crisp edges and half the part I wanted got brushed away and the part that was supposed to erase...didn't. It was probably my technique but I'm sticking with the way I know to do it from now on.
Well, I hate you and I love you! I'm so envious of your talent, and I absolutely love the artistic pieces you share. How many times can I say, "WOW?" Something new and unique each and every week! How do you do it? Plus, you never miss a week sharing a video lesson. How industrious you are, and how organized. Your pieces are so well planned, and these Sunday morning creations are just one of many pieces you paint each week. Again, "WOW!" I went looking for the peacock stencil you used and found it, but it is not inexpensive to buy in the US. The overseas postage triples the cost ~ sigh... I just completed a smallish chest using peacock stencils, transfers, and stamps, but the stencil you used is what I want to own. Also, just saying, I HATE cleaning my stencils. It takes forever to scrape off the paint even if I do it relatively soon. If the paint dries it sticks and needs tons of scrubbing. Had to complain... The golden interior makes this small chest a treasure box. Just BEAUTIFUL! Also, want to ask about the super detailed piece to the side of you in this video. Do you have any photos of it so it can be fully viewed? I want to admire all you did to that piece. Many thanks for helping to encourage me each week. (((HUGS))) Love always, Sydni
Oh sydni I also can't stand the cleaning of Stencils but I have a method. I kero a basin of warm water beside me each time I finish with one I pop it in the water. Till I have them all. I then put them in my paint sink over night and really soak them. Then I use a nail scrubber a soft bristled one and gently rub. It takes the paint of or at least most of it. I am naughty and often put them away thinking I will deal with this another day..... And that my good friend is a story for another day. Let's just say it involves marty ha ha ha
This piece is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for all the hints with stenciling and how you blended on them. Can you give me any advice when stenciling on glass/window? I tried a brush and get scratch like marks and when I use a sponge, I get bubble looking marks and even if I go over them several times, it still looks bubbly. Hope you've had tried that before and have some suggestions. you're work is stunning, thanks for making these videos.
Hey there try adding a little something into your paint.... Like a little baking soda or bentonite clay. Do one coat then wait till its dry then do another. I've don't glass many times but you just need a little more oommhh in your paint. I have a video where I stencilled glass a little while ago, it's like a shop display cabinet see if you can find it and have a wee look at what I did x x
This turned out great. Thanks for the lessons. I,m totally not familiair with the Posca markers but want to try them out. I saw that there are different ones thicker or thinner points, I guess that you use the finer ones? Let me know if you have time! Greetings from Holland🖐️
Hey there okay on furniture I generally use the 5m but if you want finer detail or to use both to achieve a unique look try the 3m. Hope this helps x x
Molto molto carino, complimenti. Guardandolo e confrontandolo con i progetti precedenti, mi accorgo che forse preferisco questo stile più uniforme e pulito a quello più chippy e pieno di timbri e stencil. Anche se in generale adoro tutti i tuoi progetti❤️
Hi Lel and lovely Marty i continue watching you because it’s so much fun everytime. A tutorial packed with top tips, i love the one with the baking soda! Of course the piece turned out beautyfully like usual. Is there a video for the piece you showed in the background? ( or something similar) The tazzels are awsome!!
There's no video for that one. I'm currently filming a how to do the Indian look, as I sell a lot of these as commission only work. It's very long to do a TH-cam tutorial on these looks as they are complicated and time consuming. So that piece is a kind of display model in the how to paint Indian inspired furniture course. I will be putting images of it on my social medias soon. And the course will be on our website very soon.... 😁😁
Hmmm yes I think you have to be careful.... Once you have used cheaper brands try heating it up with a heat gin see if it works... Although practice on a board just in case ha ha ha
Hi, it's Martyn. I put the volume up to 8db for the whole video to make sure it's loud enough. Maybe it's your TV or your TH-cam sound level that's causing the issue.
I love it when you talk and when you talk with Martin. It’s more like we’re there with you and when you’re sick in bed, it makes your tiny world bigger. It’s like getting to hang out with the two of you while I learn some things and see you work your magic.

Stay well I know your health is not good....
I also love a red burgandy shade x
Lel you can talk as much as you like. It is all informative.
That's really kind Bonny... I am conscious that I'm talking an awful lot ha ha ha
Sunday mornings with Lel and Martin is a great start for the week. Instructional, detailed, and brilliantly designed. Thank you for sharing, and please keep rotating subjects, always something new.
Oh I always rotate there's always something new to try or find out for us all.... X x
The two of you work so well together.... I so enjoy how you talk your ideas out and that you can change your idea and go for it... I cant wait till your designed paper comes my way.... The wait is sooo worth it.... Sunday mornings coffee in hand... A great day... Like you say just take your time... Dont rush it... Step back fresh eyes... I could have all your work in our home if I had the room.... Have a great week you two... Thank you.. See ya next Sunday....
Ha ha we do work well, I tell him what I'm going to do and he encourages me ha ha ha
Thanks your comment is so kind x
Sunday morning coffee with Lel and Martin! Gorgeous stenciling and gold leaf. Whee!
Awww it makes me smile thinking of you sitting with a coffee relaxing. Thanks so much for watching x
I've read all the comments.....I've nothing to add. You are BRILLIANT!! Your work, AMAZING!! AND I LOVE listening to you. Your accent is just delightful to this southern American. I alwwys look forward to Sunday mornings. Time to learn, laugh and enjoy. Thanks to you both!! ❤

Great tutorial, thank you for all the tips and advise. It's a really beautiful piece of art. When you opened the cupboard doors the stencilled flower looks like the sun rising and lighting up the golden shelf. Beautiful.
Awww Sally thanks so much, yes the inside was as cute as the outside x x
@@MadebyMarley It surely was stunning. xx
I love the colors and the gold leaf. It's exotic.
Oh yes we all need a little exotic now and then x x
Love it! Thank you both so much. My Sunday mornings are so sweet because I enjoy your videos and always learn so much!
Zoe I think your very sweet to, for taking the time yo leave us a comment.
Lel, this is absolutely stunning! As much as I love your textured finishes, this smoother finish allows more of the detail in the stencils & the gold leaf to have centre stage…love it 🤩🤩🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They are 2 different looks it very much depends I guess.... On what you see and what you like. I like them all. Thanks so much for your kind comment I appreciate it x
I like what you have to say....and never said or thought you talk to much.....watching this for the 3rd time because I am getting ready to do this on a small computer desk
Laura....... Go for it x
Love, love, love it! Particularly love the dots! (I want to see that massive piece sneaking in from the left...)
It's a beauty the big one in the background. It took a solid week to do it's sitting there because I'm currently filming a course on how to do the intricate tricky stuff. And it's a show model ha ha
I will be putting it out on my socials this week if you want to see pictures of it x
I love how you put the lump of baking soda back in the box 😅😂, that is pure me haha
Ha ha well I wasn't gonna waste it, I will deal with the lump next time ha ha ha ha
I think it's best just to be myself so you get it all warts and all..... I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wait till you watch the video that I didn't like what I had done so used my sleeve to clean it.... Marty was shook... Ha ha
@@MadebyMarley my legs get covered in paint, we are so alike lol. I wipe my stencils on my bare legs to get the damp paint off because I can't wait to flip it over and reuse 😂. I wish I could show you what I did to my laminate flooring when I was painting during the night... I need a new floor 😂. Never stop being you Lel, you're bloody amazing x
Ooh wow just gorgeous! Lovely Martin spot on with the music 🫶
Marty is always happy when people comment on his music ha ha
Stunning Lel, and great job Martin! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much glad you liked it x x
This is so absolutely unbelievable. I wish I had that piece! I need that stencil! Jacob Zook is one of my favorite artists, he makes Pennsylvania Dutch art (or used to). Anyways, love the folk art look with the blended paint and in the stenciling. Then the gold doors inside! 😍 you are inspiring me so much, I can’t wait to try something like this! ♥️ thank you both for your beautiful job and thanks again for explaining how to do all this, what steps you’re looking forward to doing (helps me to understand your process, which will help me!), and just the techniques you’re doing, helping to take the intimidation factor out of it all. You’re one of the greats, please don’t stop making these videos! Appreciate you.
What a really kind, and wonderful comment. Thanks so much for watching x
OOh, lovely ! Love it!!
Thanks I'm glad you liked it x x
Are you planning to attend the Painters Business Academy in September? I hope to go and would love to meet you.
I really enjoy your videos. Your work is inspiring and I love the way you are so natural. Its refreshing to have a British accent instead of an American one.
I am not planning on it it but I love that you enjoy my videos x
My scottish accent obviously won you over
Thanks for the stenciling tips Lel. I always seem to make a mess of it & yes, I've always "pounced" the paint on, not the circling application. Have you ever used stencil adhesive? I have some but never tried it. This piece is beyond gorgeous!!!! Hope the both of you have a lovely day!!!
Awww yes the pouncing jyst invites bleed through.
Yes I do use tacky spray if I'm using a extra large stencil. Or when I can't get a proper secure grip... Its handy stuff if your worried you might move your stencil.
Thanks for watching see you next week x
Love the music too, shout out to Martin 😉
Awww he likes it when people comment on his music, he will read this and be really pleased x
WOW, I'm speechless. Gorgeous doesn't even come close. It is amazing. Do you know in USA dollars how much something like this would be priced. I can't say it enough, you are an amazing artist 😊 And you are so cute ,I love your attitude .
Awwww that's so very kind. What a wonderful comment to recieve. I'm very grateful you took the time to watch x

Hi Kathryn, yes bleed through we all have suffered. It's been many years of mistakes that has led me to getting it just right.... Thanks for watching x
Enjoyed your video. I learned so much about stenciling. You were very thorough. I need to practice blending. Thank you.
Stencilling once you know how is so easy x

Oh WOW❣️this is the most fancy little cabinet. I love it. I love the inside of the cabinet! The gold is perfect inside and the handle are perfect too. You are so talented. I love watching you work. I am working on a chair that will take forever because I keep changing my mind 🤣Thank you for sharing all of your tips with us. Oh tell Martin he did a great job too!

Ha ha ha
I cant wait for Sundays to come around to see what you come up with❤Your work is always so fun to watch
Ha ha ha yes it's all about the fun x
Och another exquisite piece, love it, and all very useful info...
Yes all things that help when you stencil, I've made some right dogs dinners when I first started years ago ha ha ha
Stupendo!😍
Thanks so very much x x
I know what you mean about some lessons being too complicated. Such cute stencils! Your shoes!!! Adorable. The pens enhance the piece so well... I love how Martyn gets the surprise of something Lel suggests and then he laughs and laughs! "Don't panic Martyn!" Eye Twitch...too funny.! Lel, just beautiful! Congrats on 5K... Where did you find that jazzy music, Martyn?
Marty constantly gets frightened by my behaviour x
You are amazing. I love this piece.
Thank you so much! What a kind comment x
5K Subscribers! Yay, congratulations!!! Well done you both deserve it.
Thanks Sally, and thankyou for being one of them. We appreciate it very much Martyn
@@MadebyMarley That's so nice, thank you. xx
Outstanding just love this piece ....and as always You and Martyn are adorable Thank you both
Awww we thank you, love from us both x
My favorite this far ❤
I'm glad you like it x x
Love the cabinet. I tried the tacky spray for gold leaf and I got a smeary mess...no crisp edges and half the part I wanted got brushed away and the part that was supposed to erase...didn't. It was probably my technique but I'm sticking with the way I know to do it from now on.
Yes there's a certain type of spray it doesn't work with tacky spray..... I have also tried it you are not alone x x
It's looks lovely. I love the gold tassel handles.
Cindy I also love the tassels x x
I am holding my breath and waiting so if I pass out it's all your faul. i am so excited I could squeeze a grape big sassy love Marc ❤
Don't pass out please Marc.... Where would all the Sassy love come from x
Stunning😍
Thanks so much for watching x
Gorgeous! I have learned so much from your Tutorials! Thank you!
Thanks Hannah for watching x
I love this
Thanks so much, I live the handles x
I absolutely love you two so much!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
We love that you watch us x x
Well, I hate you and I love you! I'm so envious of your talent, and I absolutely love the artistic pieces you share. How many times can I say, "WOW?" Something new and unique each and every week! How do you do it? Plus, you never miss a week sharing a video lesson. How industrious you are, and how organized. Your pieces are so well planned, and these Sunday morning creations are just one of many pieces you paint each week. Again, "WOW!" I went looking for the peacock stencil you used and found it, but it is not inexpensive to buy in the US. The overseas postage triples the cost ~ sigh... I just completed a smallish chest using peacock stencils, transfers, and stamps, but the stencil you used is what I want to own. Also, just saying, I HATE cleaning my stencils. It takes forever to scrape off the paint even if I do it relatively soon. If the paint dries it sticks and needs tons of scrubbing. Had to complain... The golden interior makes this small chest a treasure box. Just BEAUTIFUL! Also, want to ask about the super detailed piece to the side of you in this video. Do you have any photos of it so it can be fully viewed? I want to admire all you did to that piece. Many thanks for helping to encourage me each week. (((HUGS))) Love always, Sydni
Oh sydni
I also can't stand the cleaning of Stencils but I have a method.
I kero a basin of warm water beside me each time I finish with one I pop it in the water. Till I have them all. I then put them in my paint sink over night and really soak them.
Then I use a nail scrubber a soft bristled one and gently rub. It takes the paint of or at least most of it.
I am naughty and often put them away thinking I will deal with this another day..... And that my good friend is a story for another day. Let's just say it involves marty ha ha ha
This piece is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for all the hints with stenciling and how you blended on them. Can you give me any advice when stenciling on glass/window? I tried a brush and get scratch like marks and when I use a sponge, I get bubble looking marks and even if I go over them several times, it still looks bubbly. Hope you've had tried that before and have some suggestions. you're work is stunning, thanks for making these videos.
Hey there try adding a little something into your paint.... Like a little baking soda or bentonite clay. Do one coat then wait till its dry then do another. I've don't glass many times but you just need a little more oommhh in your paint.
I have a video where I stencilled glass a little while ago, it's like a shop display cabinet see if you can find it and have a wee look at what I did x x
Amazing once again. 🥰🥰🥰
Awwww Barbara your always so kind x
This turned out great. Thanks for the lessons. I,m totally not familiair with the Posca markers but want to try them out. I saw that there are different ones thicker or thinner points, I guess that you use the finer ones? Let me know if you have time! Greetings from Holland🖐️
Hey there okay on furniture I generally use the 5m but if you want finer detail or to use both to achieve a unique look try the 3m.
Hope this helps x x
Спасибо замечательная работа
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Molto molto carino, complimenti. Guardandolo e confrontandolo con i progetti precedenti, mi accorgo che forse preferisco questo stile più uniforme e pulito a quello più chippy e pieno di timbri e stencil. Anche se in generale adoro tutti i tuoi progetti❤️
I guess it all comes down to do what you live. You can always take parts of the tutorial and adjust them to suit your style x
@@MadebyMarley ❤️
Amazing! You have big talent!
Thanks so much I'm very grateful for your kind comment x
Hi Lel and lovely Marty i continue watching you because it’s so much fun everytime. A tutorial packed with top tips, i love the one with the baking soda! Of course the piece turned out beautyfully like usual. Is there a video for the piece you showed in the background? ( or something similar) The tazzels are awsome!!
There's no video for that one. I'm currently filming a how to do the Indian look, as I sell a lot of these as commission only work. It's very long to do a TH-cam tutorial on these looks as they are complicated and time consuming. So that piece is a kind of display model in the how to paint Indian inspired furniture course.
I will be putting images of it on my social medias soon. And the course will be on our website very soon.... 😁😁
Love it! I’ve tried using paint pens but when I seal it the paint from the pens smears. So frustrating. I’ll try to find the pens you use.
Hmmm yes I think you have to be careful.... Once you have used cheaper brands try heating it up with a heat gin see if it works... Although practice on a board just in case ha ha ha
Amazing just what some dots make.
Isn't it? just a slight tweak makes things look so different x
Love it. Beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Love love love this piece!! Quick question, is there any need to seal the gold leaf?❤❤❤
No but I seal mine as I'm sealing my furniture but if it's a picture frame or vase I generally don't x
Good morning, Do you varnish where you gold leaf??
Yes varnish over the whole piece so it's all protected x
Very cool!
Thanks so much x
What is Martin making buttons bleep?
He was pushing the gimbal that moves the camera up against the furniture it was making a beeping ha ha
You need to put your volume up please
Hi, it's Martyn. I put the volume up to 8db for the whole video to make sure it's loud enough. Maybe it's your TV or your TH-cam sound level that's causing the issue.
what kind of paint did you use?
All my furniture is painted with Annie Sloan I say that in the beginning I think but I may have been mumbling ha ha ha
Where can you get these stencils?
Hi Lisa, as I said on the video I bought these from Etsy x
I think this cabinet is a huge whoopteedoo 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️ I'm glad x
🩷💝💜 Amazing work, I am lucky to have come across your wonderful work, thank you so much for sharing 💞💗💕👅👅
We are so lucky that you watch us x
