[@karinmann4700]

The best tutorial out there!!! This technique really works! No alcohol required even! But definitely an after drink celebration! Thank you so much!

[@fayclough218]

The best tutorial on marbling I have seen on you tube and I have seen many. Thank you for such an excellent tutorial.

[@BILLBRAZIL100]

Absolutely the best results in the entire KZbin. Thank you for posting this very helpful video.

[@frazzno5654]

I watched some useless videos from other people too!🤣🤣🤣

[@arianafelker9110]

The best faux marble out of the 50 videos I've watched so far :-)

[@earthwind2895]

SO FAR YOU ARE THE ONLY FREAKING PERSON TO DO FEAUX MARBLE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEIR DOING. EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS!!!

[@Jonnymule]

I never thought I would be doing anything like this, I was a Metal head in the 80's. Thank you so much for this video, I have all the supplies and four pieces of sheetrock to practice on.... :-)

[@Alero228]

I have been researching immensely and have watched so many people attempt this technique. Your work is by far the best I’ve seen on KZbin yet. Great job 👍

[@artismyfavoritethingartart9699]

GREAT tutorial! In my opinion you do the best marbling on KZbin. I would like to add do not forget to do the edges so it looks 3-D.

[@charlenecody1]

Love this you explained the steps so clearly. Now where is the recipe to that drink?

[@charlenecody1]

artismyfavoritething artartart I would love to see your art work. I have always wanted to have the artist talent but I don't. Lol.

Mrs. Herrick, you ARE talented! Beautiful result. (How can people give this incredible video a thumbs down?! Mmm... I'd say 16 envious people!)

[@scottdykema5149]

I used a kit years ago, thanks for the great video, it looks beautiful!

[@friedahubeny3523]

Thank you for your time, I plan to do this on a chest of drawers in a bathroom. I am so excited to try this. Thank you again.

[@shirinsaadeghi]

This looks amazing! I have wanted a marble dresser for so long now and this just gave me the perfect idea :) I can't wait to make a trip to Ikea and soon have my very own unique marble dresser... again thank you so much!

[@MarkTravisMusicPage]

Shirin Sadeghi did you do it

[@dmorrison61]

Hi from Britain. Loved the vid, thankyou, will use it to decorate bathroom walls.

[@sjr7822]

I like that thin torn cardboard design

[@bridgetmmarasco9699]

Also love the sound of your true "works of art" in the background. Wished for more product information, (softening brush? and "open time?) not to mention the red blood cosmo recipe. Inspired by your fearless technique ... will go to your blog to know what I don't know. Go Mama DaVinci !!!

[@raven1963000]

Great video. Well presented and easy to understand.

[@dimartinez2011]

Love the kids in the background! :D

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

Temporary backsplash, I am going to do that,and get my pratice in b4 I do my counters😉😉😉

[@danikaherrick]

Thanks! It actually looks pretty good. I added close ups to my original blog post. Its isn't letting me post the link. I will try it separately.

[@raffachannel6071]

amazing.i like your tutorial

[@loripalmatier804]

Lovely work!

[@dawnlee1155]

Amazingly beautiful!!

[@eddieyahooable]

This is a great video! I have a round table similar in diameter and I was looking to do marbling on it but I was looking for this same type of marbling. all the other videos that I have seen so far were tans and browns and though they are gorgeous, they were not what I wanted. But this is! Thank you!

[@LynWesthoff]

Fabulous tutorial ! Thank you !

[@relyzane212]

you are a real artist

[@michaelcoulson6483]

It would be awesome if you could do a video on color matching your outlets and switch plates!!! Very well done! You are very talented! It was also real to hear the kids in the background instead of cheesy free music!

[@marwanjadoa5554]

Very nice 👍 pls more video

[@terrijohnson459]

Very good. Looks really nice.

[@marcolm1]

Thanks for the great info!

[@SuperFishinthesky]

[@desertrose7058]

[@TigerChik613]

Beautiful

[@Mrsmetamorphosis2012]

U helped me paint my countertop. Thx. U got the best video on this. I wish u could show us the steps to seal it. Could u do an update on how it's holding up

[@ny3683syr]

Really enjoyed the video.

[@telosfd]

You're the muse of painting!!!!!!!

[@Kman.]

Excellent work! I would question putting this on countertops, but the technique for walls, columns, etc would be awesome!

[@passengershaming]

this looks fantastic!!

[@jqs1943]

lady, congratulations. you're good and fast.

[@fatimayaquby3856]

Great tutorials! So interesting. Would love to see you do a faux malachite tutorial :)

[@andrewnelson1992]

Great vid! How have your countertops and backsplash held up the last five years?

[@blaneyboytony]

Thanks, you made it look so easy! Im sure it will be, but im just using emulsions watered down... hope it works as well as yours!

[@z-liondiamondtoolsgroupwit869]

so nice repair!

[@danathefairy]

WOW! That really looks awesome :D

[@Sandra-mp9rc]

Beautiful,,,Great work thanks for sharing, wish I could see how you did the countertops and cabinets

[@karunald]

Really good job on this.

[@lexidesignsthings]

This is such a great tutorial!! I am looking to do this exact technique with my ikea table. Thanks +danikaherrick

[@tlckc1b]

Simply amazing! I'm thoroughly impressed. How authentic does it look up close?

[@marciosborgi8607]

Excellent!!!Next time give a final coat with Liquid Epoxy..and it will resit long time.

[@chelo52k]

This is great!! I will do it in a big wall on my kitchen :-) If I first paint the wall with white, do I still need the white glaze? Thank you in advance

[@jonathanvieira1092]

Seu trabalho é perfeito . Parabéns

[@joserodriguez-wm3bm]

verry nice👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@binnsh]

I don't like cosmopolitans, but the marbling is great!

[@smoore0322]

Hello thank you for the great tutorial. Did you have to lightly sand to Rough up the for formica countertop prior to priming?

[@judichristopher4604]

"WOW" BEAUTIFUL

[@mbates1000]

I love it, what is the product you used to extend the drying time of the glaze?

[@KitySal]

Gorgeous

[@TheLeonardo172]

very nice and very good

[@Maryjane13400]

can this be done on cement?. this turned out beautiful. thanks for taking time to record and share.

[@roslynjones1722]

That table looks amazing. You are very talented. Do you do this for money? I'd love to become a customer

[@nancyholmes1140]

Very pretty, but why didn’t you go over the edges with the marbling to make it look real?

[@danasaunders4590]

Can I use everything you used for paint to do my counters?

[@maythao1926]

This is the best marbling art work I have seen on youtube. You really know what you are doing. I am excited to try this on my table and countertops. My question is...when you say use acrylic and polyurethane and acrylic, so it doesn't yellow, what is that exact step. Did you mix them and then brush it on or did you do them separately? Also what kind of acrylic and polyurethane did you use?

[@heather1872]

Nhia Alberts it'd polycrylic

[@valeriegadeke3365]

Just found your fantastic video but could you please tell me what type of paint you used,did you add water or any glazing liquid ???

[@tdibari]

How is the counter top holding up?

[@nicholeparris8388]

I'd like to know this too. I've wanted to do this for years but am afraid polycrylic wont hold up in the kitchen, since its water based. But, I dont want yellowing so I dont want to use polyurethane 😔

[@lindaaaron17]

Do you think you could do this on a plain cement fireplace mantle to get a marble look to it? Thanks....

[@jenjen7594]

Thanks for this. I am going to re-do a cultured marble bathroom vanity and was looking for a more subtle finish than the dark highly contrasted finish techniques that are out there. This will be perfect! Do you know if I can incorporate some of the latex paint (in the color of the bathroom) into the veins? Would latex work alongside the acrylic? I would like to try the Envirotex lite coating.

[@LeilaGhauri]

Would this work on existing counters? The cheap old counters (not sure what material they are made out of)

[@maggiemrust]

This looks so awesome! Seriously, how hard was this to do?

[@junefletcher]

Really should put a drop cloth under that table, especially since there's wall-to-wall carpeting.

[@hart3254]

I am wanting to do this to my counter and backspash so bad, then painr my cabinets. Can't decide on the color cabs though either white or some kind of blue, like a greyish blue.

[@Elligons]

Nice work. So fast too.

[@jocelyngarrett3269]

Hi! The gray glaze where you mixed cobalt blue and a drop of black, what kind of paints are those?,I will definitely do this on my countertops!,,,thanks

[@ashleykelly3092]

Jocelyn Garrett I have the same question. Are they from a paint can or an actual glaze can? That's the only way I know how to ask. Are they latex, water based or oil based? Would like to know EXACTLY what you used for paint. Thanks!

[@satoreyap]

Did the paint on the countertop hold up over time with the heat of cooking and all?

[@a1930ford]

Never mind. Found such on Ebay and ordered..

[@nicholeparris8388]

Several people have asked, with no response. How have the counties held up? I've wanted to do this for years but I dont want yellowing so cant use polyurethane. And I'm not sure how well polycrylic will hold up around water, since its water based. Please answer 😔

[@desertrose7058]

Uh... where is the Orange mimosa recipe ? :-(

[@DLF-xq9lq]

Yes. I want that too. Drat it, if I'm going to paint my countertops, I need to have a good drink or two first.

[@joeherbo07]

OOOOOH..... BLOOD ORANGE COSMOS

[@abresinartandinterior4306]

Wow!

[@rouishedtanjaoui4692]

Hi ! It's acrylique paint water or cream plastic stucco ?
