Miniaturist Journal 93. Today I'm showing you the basic steps of how I usually do faux marbling for floors, countertops and fireplaces. You could stop after the first layers of background scumble, veining scumble and overglaze, but I like to work in many layers and keep adding more detail to the layers until I am satified with the look. Play and experiment with colours, paint and glazes until you get the look you're after. You can always paint over it when you're not satisfied.

Do you know what i love a most about the minature world? Its such a world of helpful and joyful people. If I made mistake at work, I worried. When I make mistakes in the minature world, its exciting to learn what I can improve. And people like Josje happily share there knowledge and wisdom 😊 its like returning to the awe and wonder of childhood and play. Or the wonder of watching your child grow and wonder.

Loved watching you create the marble floor. Would also like to see you finish the project - cutting, varnish, grouting, etc.!

@bethrundle5560

Fabulous! Going feather hunting now:-)

@SandieMitchell

I could watch and listen to you all day! Your work is stunning; I would live in your dollhouse if I could. ☺

@swearenginlawanda

I would so be dragging my sleeve through the wet paint. You amaze me.

@jenpink4298

Wow, this was absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for putting this together! It has always seemed like such an impossible project, but you made it very understandable. And I like the Way you say that it is a process. I am far too intimidated by the thought of having to do it all in one shot.

Hi Josje, I did not know what was considered scrumble glaze so that set me off on an explore of UTube sites. Love to learn about different things. I can see how the layering adds depth. I think I would cut a window of cardboard so I can pick and choose the areas of “marble” to cut out. Thank you again for taking time to make these very helpful videos. I do appreciate it. Regards J

@wendywalker3598

Thank you for another fabulous tip and a geology lesson too. Your vlogs are always so interesting. I’m off feather hunting, we have big plump wood pigeons nesting in our lime tree so I’ll begin there! 😊

@jenniferaldellizzi4537

Great tutorial! I've done some marbling as well. Love it!!

@TinaOsborne-wb7sb

I'd love to see a tutorial on the grout, as I've never seen that in miniature. Thanks for sharing.

@jojosmumdorothy2829

🎉hello hun 🎉

@FruGrimassen

Danish Wikipedia says that "Fra 1753 blev der udvundet marmor i Lier ved Drammen, som blandt andet leverede sten til Marmorkirken i København."

@coby9896

Dank je wel Josje, that was very helpful, especially understanding how marble is actually formed which gives a clue on how the veins run. I love the unpredictability of using feathers, of which there is no shortage here where I live. Of course there are many techniques on how to do faux marble but I like how you put layer upon layer until you are happy with the result.👏 Does the surface chip when you cut the sheet into tiles?
