A Simple Black Kitty Cane in Polymer Clay
Переглядів 2,4 тис.14 днів тому
Welcome to my channel! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to make a simple kitty face cane. It is simple! You'll need clay, a few tools and a pasta machine. Now, you don't absolutely need a pasta machine - if you don't have one, then select a soft clay. I use Kato Polyclay but it's stiff and more difficult to condition so, it would not be the ideal choice if you are not in possession of a pasta...

A Polymer Clay Tutorial: The Yellow Optical Pyramid Version 2
Переглядів 4,3 тис.Місяць тому
The Optical Pyramid - Version 2 It’s time to clay like an Egyptian! Let’s make an optical pyramid. Yes, this is version 2. I debated about uploading both because one seemed so much simpler. What I forgot is that as I use Kato - cutting blocks into shapes is quite easy. A very soft clay would be more difficult so I would say Version 2 is ideal for stiff clays that are easy to cleanly slice into....

Big Top PolymerClay Earrings!

Big Top Earrings! Hello Peeps, welcome! My original intent was to make simple, fun earrings. Earrings that wouldn’t demand lots of products, but just basic stuff, clay, blade, ruler, deli paper. What I ended up making look like they belong at the Barnum and Bailey Circus! They make me laugh and I like to laugh. Now, maybe different colors would be less funny and less Big Top-py? Probably.

A Simple New Way to Make Polymer Clay “Baroque Beads”
Переглядів 3 тис.2 місяці тому
Welcome to my Channel, Studio and this little tutorial on an old friend of mine - Baroque Beads. These were some of the first beads I made - you see I didn't know how to cane and applying discs, triangles, twisted ropes to solid colored bases seemed a good way for a newbie to get into polymer clay. I made the beads in the late 80s - early 90's and they are in my first book published in 1997. I ...

Welcome to my channel, studio and this tutorial on beads I made a very long time ago. They were in my very first book, published in 1997. A real blast from my past! This type of bead was the very first sort of beads I made. Applied dots, triangles, rounds. In those days, there was no Skinner Blend so the colors were flat and this was also before I had a clue about custom color mixing! The quilt...

    Hi Donna, i have a question about The small pads for The necklace backs. If both pads are setting #3 with The imprint for The cord ON just one of them, what is The diameter of The cord that goes thru The pads? Im thinking The gap is too small for a 2 mm cord. Am i right Or do i have some of The info wrong? Thanks so much, Jill x

      okay, will. i would recommend you purchase the best clay you can get. go to michaels and get fimo or premo or cernit, my clay you can only get online. anyway, avoid sculpey3 because you'll just make something and it will break! others might have recommendations here. i only use kato so i cannot really recommend one of those over another. cheers, d

      @@DonnaKatoArt I reckon it’s time to try the Kato. I have read the reviews and checked out the websites. I want to make things that will last & my fingers and hands are gnarled by decades of pastry work. I realised it wasn’t just me after I purchased the clay from a $2 shop and the result was 100% better but it doesn’t have much strength to it, turns into chalk if it’s sanded…. & I don’t particularly want to resin everything. I want to be able to make sure it lasts. I’ll start with a few things, white, conditioner and some of the blackening & buildup supplies, otherwise I’ll keep topping up the not so good wasting my time and money. Iol.
