    Fantastical. Everytbhing you create is wonderful. You make it all so "easy" just from the way you explain it all. You have the best teaching voice with added fun & humor. Your dubbed in sound effects are the best.. also when you hum Rawhide. the "yoots" won't get it. LOL.

    Donna, I’m so happy I found you here on YT! I remember watching you on the Carol Duvall Show back in the day. I ended up in the town below hers and would see her at “art institute”gatherings where we were both members.

    What a delight to find you on UA-cam at least twenty five years after being introduced to you on the Carol Duvall Show. I now have a great granddaughter who is crafty and loves bling and beads. Until this day, the closest I have come to bead making has been paper bead making. She is around five years old. She is going to LOVE your tutorials!
    I want to provide her a way to make beads that can be done solitarily with a forward looking possibility for many years of beauty in her life. You are as diligent in what you do as you were on the show, but! I bet you are enjoying being able to take more than seven minutes for all you show.

    OMG Donna! How cute are those?!! I love them in the blue the best. I think I will probably make them in purple and lavender. Can you tell what my favorite color is?! 😂
    I love the snails too! Cute earrings those would make. Now, your bead caps…GAME CHANGER! I’ll never buy another container of them! How easy. Donna I wished you could watch me when I am watching your videos. I’m always talking to you. It’s like we’re buddies now. No I’m not going to be a stalker! I really admire you and your style. Huge respect for you and the work you do. ☺️

    You have always inspired me! I did polymer clay jewelry, years ago, probably before UA-cam. I loved it and the it sold like crazy. I did everything by 3 books and finally had my aha moment, when it all clicked. I have taken years off, and have been doing epoxy resin projects. However, I recently came across your channel and low and behold, have started my collection of clay and supplies back. I will still do resin, as it is also fascinating. Clay isn't as messy as Epoxy Resin, and I have been wanting to start polymer clay again. You are a top notch artist. I love your tutorials. Thank you.

    Hi Donna. A couple of ideas. The big bead, before you swirled it caught my eye. Just simple still, but somehow it’s cool, unto itself. Also, the X bead would be so cute as a set of earrings with the other one having an O instead of the X. Just somethings I thought of. They are so fun and Donna Kato inspired. Thanks so much. ✌🏻🤍🤞

    Could tell me hiw to gain the effect of 'space' which colours to use etc, I have translucent liquid and mica powders which I would presume would be helpfull, or,

    These are very pretty beads & u explain how to make them so well.
    Something that did make me pause is the huge waste of polymer black clay in the middle & it’d up the price to make & then sell.
    I’d try using the leftover older ugly mixes of polymer clay (even though they can be used to make great colours) or used older brands I don’t like for the centre.
    If u haven’t done a video on saving clay by using other ways & things for the middle it’d be a great idea. No shade meant.
    The bead caps are great & uv inspired me to get back to making things…liked & subbed :)

      Good advice! I did use scrap clay, though so it wasn’t packaged black, just dark scrap! Cheers, D

    Absolutely Gorgeous ❤️
    You left and said you were going to put the Bead Caps on... you came back and said let's put them in the oven... you never said what type of oven... at what temperature... or how long... the next thing I saw was the beads on a sting ..
    Now, I'm clueless on how you finished them...
    I'm new at this and the beads are so beautiful... I wanted to learn how to make them... but you assumed that all the viewers all ready know how to create them... I don't...

      Okay, kid. Now, curing. I should have covered this - I assumed it wasn’t necessary but I should have gone into detail. Place them in a bed if baking soda - just lay them on the powder. Then cure following the manufacturer’s instructions. You can use your home oven, that’s fine. Cheers! D

    Love these. A question if I may. Is there a reasn you can't make the caps out of metallic clay, rather than painting the black clay? I always enjoy your tuts. Thank you

    • @DonnaKatoArt
      @DonnaKatoArt  6 місяців тому

      Great question, Rosemary. Really good one, I find that, since the paint is not opaque, the metallic paint shows up more on black than on gold on gold, silver on silver, etc. I think the contrast of the black makes the metals pop. Give it a try and see if you agree! Big hug,s, D

      hello! that's my marxit. i invented it and we made it for many years. the cost rose so high we stopped. well, china ripped us off so we stopped. i will look for a place to get the knock off and will post it when i find it. may i ask a favor of you. would you mind subscribing to the channel? it helps spread the tutes and one of my big goals is to attract newbies to the medium. pc is a small part of the market and we do need new people to come into our fold. subscribing to channels you like just expands our reach. thanks in advance! hugs, d

    Love these. Does it matter which way you roll the brad to make them round? And what brand are you using here? I’m asking because I notice there’s no smudging even though you didn’t put it in the refrigerator or to rest and you’ve been rolling it for some time.

    • @DonnaKatoArt
      @DonnaKatoArt  6 місяців тому +1

      Hi Dorothy, I roll in the most natural for me - right hander. I’m using Kato Polyclay so I don’t need to refrigerate the clay! Cheers!

      @@DonnaKatoArtThsnk you for this. I’ve only ever worked with Sculpey and find that it smudges if you handle it too much. Been wanting to try another brand. So I will try the Kato Poly. I love your work very innovative ❤️
