Looks nice Issabella.
It's a pretty quick and not very complicated way of making a "marble like texture",
which looks a bit more convincing then the default patterns provided by GIMP.

Thank you, that was easy and outcome was nice.
Now I don't need to download marble from google anymore woohoo!

Thanks Wallace.
By substituting Clouds>Solid Noise with G'mic>Rendering>Plasma and following the method on your video I made some 'coloured marble'.

I called this effect 'neon plasma'.
I make the spheres with Mathmap and fill them with plasma.

That look really cool.

There's also a G'MIC filter,
which can be used to make a pretty convincing marble like texture.

Thank you very much, Wallace. I know I'll need a guide to follow.

Do you have trouble with video tutorials?

Your's and some other ones I do not have trouble as you do not go too fast. Some do it so quickly that you can't keep up. With some videos, over time they are not available. If you can't copy them, you may not be able to get it later.

I'll keep what you said in mind,
when I make videos in the future.
